Overview

English

This 811-meter-above-sea-level mountain with 4/9 difficulty is very accessible from Metro Manila. It is, indeed, a great destination for those seeking for a quick adventure fix. Mt Batulao features well-established trails, majestic rolling hills, remarkable views, and picture-perfect landscapes.

Mt. Batulao is perfect for newbies. The first part of the trek is super easy. The trek after camp 7 to and from the summit down to camp 8 however is something newbies would find a bit of a challenge but it’s the kind we all can learn from and will prepare us to more challenging climbs.

  • "Misleading and Exhausting Hike – Not for Moderate Hikers!"

    I would not recommend this hike to anyone looking for a 'moderate' experience. The difficulty level was completely misrepresented—this hike was hard, exhausting, and dangerous. We've done several hikes before, but this one was by far the toughest and longest, not suitable for moderate hikers at all. On top of that, the weather was foggy and rainy, which they failed to mention beforehand. We couldn’t see any of the promised views, and the trail was covered in mud, making it even worse. The only positive was the tour guide, who did her best despite the terrible conditions. One star just for her effort."

    This trip was the highlight of my time in the Philippines so far. The scenery was so bucolic atop the mountain and hiking in the early morning was so serene. I loved my tour guide, Genesis. He was so knowledgeable about the area of Tagaytay, the mountains, and he was a very funny guy. There was not a dull moment at all. Our mountain guide, PJ, was such a sweet fellow. He helped me get around on the slippery rocks and mud, and he even sang with me a bit. I enjoyed the beautiful scenery of Mt. Batulao, and I thoroughly enjoyed my hiking buddies that went with me. Thank you for such a memorable time. I will never forget it.

    The guides were amazing, Ellé picked me up and Alfred pur local guide practically danced up the mountain. The views were incredible. I needed some help coming down due to the steepness and Alfred was great. It’s an early start but completely worth it.

  • Great hike with great guides and driver

    I had a great hiking trip thanks to tour guide Jonathan, driver Loni (not sure about the spelling) and young local guide Sandor (not sure about this spelling either). Jonathan and Loni did pick me up at the hotel at 4 am as decided. The ride to the place where the hike started went smoothly and we also stopped on the way so that I could buy som breakfast. The weather was not perfect and the road sometimes slippery but the views were spectacular and it was not a very tough hike except for some few parts when we had to use roops. After the hike did Jonathan and Loni join me for a genuin filippino noodle soup lunch. The way back took a while because of the traffic but all in all I had a great time.

  • Great hike with great views.
