[2025 General Nakar Attraction] Travel Guide for Mount Daraitan & Tinipak River (Updated May)

The most rewarding views come with the most challenging trails. This was proven true when we set off to take on Rizal's Mt. Daraitan. I knew it was going to be a hike that requires strength and determination so good thing we were prepared. The stops along the way always came with amazing views and there was even a heart-shaped nest which serves as a great spot for photos. After a tiring morning up and down the trail, we relaxed by the river. It's not hard at all to find a mountain that offers many things to do so it's time to #gohiking

#summervacation Mt. Daraitan: A hidden gem of Tanay Rizal The mountain herself was in the limelight of being one of the top tourist destination where hundreds of trailers , mountaineers and travelers could not resist . Footprints that was left is an unforgettable memory that each people pass by. This beautiful trail left those who conquest the trail would never go home without a broken knee yet a formidable nature that the wind dances gracefully. A muddy trail and slippery rocks are waving hello that I should be more careful of. The trail was getting steeper in every step that I take. There were wooden bars that I can grasp with but thinking of my BMI would surely not be of help. Thankful for my companions who were eager also to climb that motivates me to finish the walk of lifetime. Reaching the peak feels like a climbing of forever yet my heart is thrilled what the mountain awaits. My drive to reach the peak is to breath that is far from polluted and toxic city of my daily travel. Reaching camp 2 is an hour away. At the peak, a trail that allowed me to have freedom- inhale positicity, exhale negativities. Some took photos right away but I chose to find a spot and admire the scenery that no other mountains was able to let me feel it. Seeing Mt. Daraitan is unique that even if my soul is tired yet it is worth the risk. #summervacation#hikingtrails

The Sierra Madre mountain range is the Philippines' longest. The trail is moderate to difficult, but it can still be completed in one day. It is said to be one of Rizal's most beautiful spots. The ascent is picturesque enough, as you are surrounded by a beautiful green tropical forest teeming with birds and other species. However, it is at the summit that it truly shines, as you are surrounded by the breathtaking splendor of the Sierra Madre mountain ranges. Make time to pause and see the many waterfalls and stalagmite caverns along the way down. #naturalwonders#summervacation#hikingtrails#hotelstay#urbanexplorer
