Warning, Disclaimer, and other Info
- This is trekking. So we assume na you're physically fit for this kind of activity. Kadto mag hangos na mo saka lang sa hagdanan, please ayaw nalang kuyog.
- The trail does not require technical skills and equipment. It's a simple trek lang pero layo. If its just plain trek, it'll probably take 1 hour from the base to the waterfalls. Pero since it's a photo trek, it will take more time kay daghan landscape and macro
- Expect to get wet because the trail includes crossing the river and trekking along the river.
- Trekking footwear lang please. No beach sandals, hi heels and formal shoes.
- You're responsible for your own personal safety and your equipment. Our guide will take us through an established and safe route. But please, dili lang gyud gihapon mag tanga2x. Keep an eye on the trail and don't stray away from the main group.
- Some call the waterfalls, Kainsing, some call it Kabang. Basta mao nang naa sa picture!
- Regarding the weather, it is the guide's decision if it is safe to proceed or not. So we do what he says
Estimated budget for the photo trek
P500.00
covers transportation (jeep and habal2x)
snacks
water
amot2x para sa guide
(Dili ni amot2x na amount ha? It's up to you if you bring this much. We won't collect P500 from you. Suggestion lang na and extra na kaayo na just to make sure dili pud mag kulang imo money. Ato amotan sa guide is probably P50 to P100 each depende ug pila ta kabuok mo adto. Jeep to Talamban is less than P10. Habal2x is P20 one way. So sobra ra kaayo ang P500 Pero I don't know sad how much you'll buy for supplies. So mao nga extra na daan. Basin pa diay mag dala ka lechon manok for all of us.
