CARA GOES TO MT. MACULOT

so a friend of mine, asked me to go on a mountain climbing and because I'm Cara the explorer I SAID YES :)

This is a day hike ( I always go for day hike because for me it is safer.)

nag start kami around 6:30 onward ng umaga.

Along the way you will see some native people selling this rod

pero hindi ako bumili HAHAHAH feeling strong (char mahal kasi)

saka naman may mapupulot kang mga sanga sa daan XD

I feel sorry for myself konti lang nakuha kong pictures XD

naka pag self picture kahit antok na antok at pagod dahil paakyat toh as in matarik siya at madulas.

Masarap yung hangin habang paakyat

mapapa upo ka nalang talaga sa gandang view pag nasa taas kana XD

yes mainit po sa Mt. Maculot :D

Travel Buddies

what I loved about hiking is you will meet different kinds of people and they'll be your friend along the trail.

Yeah meet my buddy!

well eyebags says it all

my dear sister from Doha who invited me on this journey <3

the trail is so difficult so you need to enjoy it :D

so what up!? UP HERE? we really enjoyed the view pero wala gaano sight seeing dito :D

ROCKIES

Rockies trail so bago ka makaakyat dito maghihirap ka talaga pag tawid sa lubid HAHAHHAHA matusok ng mga bato ;)

Finally!

some hikers do the "PAMATAY POSE"

WHAT YOU WILL SEE?

MGA NGITING PAGOD NA SABOG

dahil first hikeko akala ko pag sinabi PABABA na madali lang yung mag papagulong ka nalang HAHAHA

pero MAS GRABE pa yung pag baba ng bundok kaysa pag akyat bessy!

THE SUMMIT

me and buddy!TRAVEL GOALS

YAY! WE CONQUERED MT. MACULOT

I just want to thank CERTIFIED TRAVELERS for this amazing experienced. Unforgettable moments :)

EXPERIENCES:

-Several times nadulas

-Iwas sa mga tinik ng halaman

-dapat di madulas yung sapatos

-if possible light packer lang dapat

-iwasan mag selfie sa alanganing spot

-WAG PA BIDA :D

LEARNINGS:

this is my first hike as in FIRST sobrang bigat ng bag pack ko, yung trail pa naman assault na mabato at madulas gusto ko itapon yung BAG ko HAHAHAHAH.

Hindi dapat humawak ng kung ano ano sa paligid lalo pag hindi familiar yung mga halaman or bulaklak importante din yung may TOUR GUIDE ALWAYS.

DO A RESEARCH/BACKGROUND CHECK sa isang bundok na gusto mo.

Food:

Hindi kasi ako madali magutom or gutumin actually more on biscuits yung dala ko ang dalawang 600ML solve na ako dun

Impotante alam mo yung body mo, what to consume ganun.

Medi Kits

-Para in case na masugatan ka or kasama mo

Extra Clothes/Slipper/Personal Hygiene:

-very needed

Mas mahirap akyatin yung Mt. Maculot kaysa sa Mt. Ulap

(for me)

if you want to adventure go to Mt. Maculot its a good Mountain :)
