Daraitan And Tinipak River Vlog | Part 1

Mt. Daraitan - This hike-worthy mountain is situated in the heart of Sierra Madre in Tanay, Rizal. Mt. Daraitan is very popular in the mountaineering community because aside from its magnificent view it also has a lot to offer including outdoor attraction such as a river, caves, limestone formations, and natural pools. Mt. Daraitan probably the longest and the hardest hike I’ve ever done by far. Nevertheless, it is also one of the best experience I had since I started mountaineering.

THE CLIMB
Mt. Daraitan was surprisingly challenging. The trail is a really straightforward assault even from the first part up to the summit. I never thought that this mountain would be more challenging than I expected. It was insanely 80% assault trail and only 20% were flat. Some of our colleagues were only first-timer so they might be surprised by the trail. A soft muddy trail surrounded by an abundant variety of trees welcomed us upon arriving at the jumpoff.

We went last October 28, 2019, Tuesday, fully-prepared physically (we jog a week before) and mentally (because we are 1st timers, we did our adequate research about hiking and Mt. Daraitan in general).....
BUT we are still SHOOKT! It was soooooo challenging MGA BES! XD
We underestimated the 4/10 difficulty and 90% Assault that we have read on the internet LMAO
Good thing, we have the BEST travel guide on our side, kuya Marlowin, a resident of Rizal that took care of us throughout the trip (and we are returning the favor by posting his number here!). He's an experienced hiker so if you want an all-around guide (slash photographer, slash Hugot King haha!) just look for this guy. If it weren't for him, we might have cried right from the start T_T
The scenery when you reach the Summit, Heart Peak and the Tinipak River are all worth it!
Tips:
- Do not go during rainy season, weekends, and holidays.
- Best time to start: between 3AM to 6AM
- Wear appropriate hiking shoes. Socks, gloves, raincoats, waterproof bag can be bought near the Brgy. Hall
- For first-timers, it's best if you search for a place to spend the night in Sampaloc before going to Brgy. Daraitan
- Pls. contact kuya Marlowin Mendoza (0997-947-1822)
IF YOU NEED A TRAVEL GUIDE. Highly recommended!
