About this trip

Our longest trip, for people who like to walk. It joins the Sagada and Batad trips with two places most visitors miss: the stone walled terraces of Maligcong above Bontoc, and the terraces of Hapao in Hungduan.

Groups are small, eight at most, and the days are long. You should be used to walking five or six hours on steep paths.
