The Road to Baguio | Skyway Extension | Marcos Highway | Pandemic Travel

When work calls you up to Baguio (Philippines), why not turn it into a motorcycle adventure on my Royal Enfield Himalayan? Got to try out the newly opened Skyway Extension and it cuts SO MUCH TIME from the old journey fighting through Manila's notorious traffic! Kennon Road was closed so it was the longer Marcos Highway into Baguio... and of course everything changes with the "new normal" entry into the city.

I saw you did the DRT loop just before Christmas... you inspired me to try it but my plans fell through. Definitely ride it sometime!

Nice video, very relaxing and captures the joy of touring. Keeping narration to a minimum is a nice touch for this effect. Hoping for more quality content in remote places the Himalayan can take you.

sub'd.. great content...i miss riding ph. I rented the Himalayan a few years ago and took it to Sagada and Benguet looking for coffee. Good info on the requirement heading North.. did you get tested again at John Hay?

[@leavingtrax6521]

I love riding in this part of the country - great mountain roads. I've a video coming out soon of my ride around Itogon and the beautiful Ambuklao and Binga lakes. At John Hay they just wanted to check again the test I had done before leaving Manila.

@@leavingtrax6521 Next time you head back to Baguio.. try this adv route we did .. the Himalayan should be able to tackle it easily. Its a barangay with fun rough sections .. dont worry no single tracks. The route will pass by Philex mine and spit you out near Ambuklao road. th-cam.com/video/nLLy8G3viWw/w-d-xo.html
