How has 2020 been treating you?
If one of your wishlist this 2020 is to get out of your comfort zone and try something adventurous, Mount Balagbag is worth taking the risk to try.
Mount Balagbag is located between boundaries of Rodriguez, Rizal, and City of San Jose Del Monte, Bulacan. It is part of Sierra Mountain Range as it transitions to the plains of Central and Southern Luzon.
This mountain is highly recommended for beginners when it comes to hiking; 1-2 hours of hiking with 777 Meters above sea level. It is also the favourite of mountain bikers due to easy and wide trail. This tourist spot is perfect for the "barkada goals 2020" as it provides teamwork and patience for everyone that is included within the circle of friends.
A perfect place indeed to relax and meditate over the stress and hard work we do within these urban areas.
Mount Balagbag offers a great view that even Ipo Watershed, some parts of Manila and Ortigas can be seen at the top of it. Overnight camping is also allowed where city lights can be watched and a perfect place for stargazing while during the morning, the ever-smiling sunshine together with the sea of clouds will kiss upon your day.
