Mt. Daraitan - Tanay, Rizal
It's been a month since my last last post here. We've been busy because we resigned to our job and applying for a new and thankfully we're hired!🙏
This 2017 we decide to travel every month and we're very excited to do this! So for our first month, our 1/12 is Mt.Daraitan Tanay, Rizal.
About Mt. Daraitan:
Location: Barangay Daraitan - Tanay, Rizal
Height: 739+ masl
Difficulty: 4/9
Feature: Scenic view of the Sierra Madre range and of Tinipak River
"Mt. Daraitan is one of the several stunning mountains located in the beautiful province of Rizal boasting all of nature’s goodness from pristine rivers and waterfalls, dark hollowed caves of century old formation of stalagmite and stalactite rocks to the picturesque view of the Sierra Madre range. She has quickly established herself as one of the top hiking destinations bringing hundreds of thrill seeking spirits to her trails every single day. She may have allowed way too many footprints in her land but don’t ever think she is all spice and everything nice because behind her summit seeming so graceful from afar is her utterly formidable nature which have sent some hikers home weeping and with a broken heart or should I say a broken knee."

How to get there?:
From Manila, there's a UV Express at StarMall in Shaw Boulevard, tell the driver to drop you at Tanay Market. From Tanay Market get a tricycle to go at Barangay Daraitan travel time is 1.5 hours. From Barangay Daraitan you should cross at the Daraitan River using a boat for only 5pesos but you can also use the hanging bridge if you want. After that, go to Barangay Hall, it's 1km only so you can walk or grab a tricycle if you want. Then registration fee start hiking.
Summary of Expenses:
UV Express from Star Mall - 70pesos
Tricycle going to Barangay Daraitan - 400 (I suggest you to group yourselves atleast 6)
Boat for River Crossing - 5pesos
Tricycle going to Barangay Hall - 10
Guide Fee - 500 (Including the Tinipak if you go there)
Registration Fee - 20
Registration for Tinipak - 20
Total: 762pesos Only!
What to Expect:
- The store at every campsite is pricey so I suggest you to buy all you need before you go there.
- 4 hours is the maximum total time before go to Summit even it's short or long trail.
I suggest you to start your hike atleast 5am to see the beautiful sea clouds at Daraitan.
