  • Ablayan Peak An Enthralling And Windy Summit In Boljoon

    Cebu, in spite its rapid urbanization and burgeoning tourism, has plenty of surprises and hidden gems in store for the wide-eyed traveler. With a plethora of untouched islets and lush mountain ranges, there's surely still a lot of beauty and charms to discover within the province. Lately, I, together with the sprightly Team Bang, have been scouring information to catch some of Cebu's little-known treasures.

  • Climbing The Towering Monolith Of Kandungaw Peak

    I have always been proud of my strong knees and calves. That sounds so weird. But yes, I am proud of them because I've never had any problems every time I trek mountains. So when my high school friends and I initially planned our trek to this towering monolith called Candongao or Kandungaw Peak, I was pretty confident.

    Weeks (or was it months? :P) prior to our trip, I asked one of my blogger friends, John of Four-eyed Laagan, how difficult the trail is. He said that it won't actually take that long to reach the summit, but the trail going up is pretty difficult it could destroy your knees. ...

  • Kandungaw Peak And Dalas-ag Peak The Second Time Around

    My first hiking trip to Kandungaw (Candongao) Peak was truly a fascinating adventure that I'll remember for years to come. Not only did it spark my appetite for hiking, but it also gave me a glimpse of the untouched and pristine natural beauty of Cebu's highlands. What's more, my first Kandungaw trek introduced me to a bunch of new friends, who ultimately became my travel buddies.

  • Mt Kandungaw The Breathtakingly Spectacular Mountain Kingdom Of Badian

    Come on, come on, let's leave… Let's go to the place that is beyond the ordinary and let's search for the unusual. Let's seek adventures, let's leave for awhile this mundane life. Chanting this melody and harmonizing positive vibes, we would rather be called hippie than boring. We know life is unexciting without a little risk. We are the people of the "outside".

    It's getting late.
    Come on.
    Come on.
    We've got to leave. We've got to leave….

    So my friends and I decided to climb another mountain and this time we opted to have a theme for our climb. We called it a hippie climb where ...

  • Candongao Peak Trekking Deep Into Badians Surreal Highlands

    Osmeña Peak has been, for years, the premier destination for people who want to go on a little nature trip in Cebu. Rising at 1,013 meters above sea level, O'Peak is, after all, the so-called highest mountain on the island, wowing visitors with its cool mountain breeze and awe-inspiring panorama of the countryside. But, there's another majestic and pristine trail nearby that may soon give this Cebuano icon a run for its money – the less explored Candongao Peak.

  • Kandungaw Dancing With The Mountains

    NCR Trekkers once proved again the strength and willingness to spread LNT Principle amidst the heat of the sun and the rage of the rain at Kandungaw, Maloray, Dalaguete, Cebu last May 21-22, 2016.

    Kandungaw Peak is part of the Mantolongon Range where the famous Osmeña Peak is also found. What differs Kandungaw from the others is its high ascent and astounding cliff drop off that is too good to see but too dangerous to be reckless.
