Surviving Philippines MOST EXTREME Mountains! Rocky Rice Terraces (Tacadang, Benguet)
ฝัง

- SURVIVING PHILIPPINES MOST EXTREME MOUNTAINS IS NOT EASY.
But these amazing humans have managed it.
Atop the rocky mounds of Tacadang, part of Kibungan in Benguet, in a landscape that reminds me of Machu Picchu, are rice terraces built over 100 years ago.
The road getting here is new and rough (but better than trekking a steep uphill for 6 hours!) and the view phenomenal.
Visiting the rice terraces, I was amazed by the hard work that goes into repairing them, the hospitable culture, and the final steep climb to a burial cave...
What an adventure this was.

My dad grew up there in Kibungan and I heard him before talking about Tacadang and never thought it was really a majestic place. I lived here in the US for over two decades and wanting to visit there when I get back because I’ve Never visited my dad’s birthplace. Thank you for sharing this awesome travel videos.
Truly majestic!
Sumaa ka madam sir ta engka iliwen nan ili tako ya toton od mo
Salamat ti kaadam nga mang ie share ti pintas ti Probinsya ti Benguet. ,sapay kuma ta makaited met kenka ti ragsak ken salun-at ,talna ti puso ken panunot..,take care always and 'GOD bless..😃
You have come a long way in your TH-cam adventure. I have complimented you before, but your video's are like mini documentaries. I am so tired of the travel vlogger video's of the PI. It is really great seeing your off-the-beaten-path video's. Much more interesting, with a production that is more organic and appealing than a History, Discovery, or Nat Geo show. No BS, great job!
A good life perspective from the local guy fixing the rice field..happiness depends on you, "if you make your life happy then you will be happy"
The beginning of the Cordillera Hymn says:
Caddled by majestic mountains,
Blest with nature's flowing fountains
Blowing flow’rs and verdant hills
Is a region of murm’ring rills.
Cordillera, region of wonder hail.
nothing beats brewed coffee 😁ayeeeee makapaawis 🤩Thank you for showing us these aerial views.... amazing amazing footage.... 😍
You never fail to amaze us with your superb documentary/video. Once again your aerial shots are outstanding. The mountains are breathtaking and majestic. I have to watch your vlog several times to appreciate the views. Thanks for showing the world the beauty of the Philippines and allowing us to appreciate our fellow Filipinos in Benguet who strive to preserve the culture and centuries old tradition of building and farming on terraces. This is one of your best vlog. More power to you. We appreciate and support you.
Thanks for the shout out brother, ridesafe always. 🤜🤛
Love your adventures brother, ride safe!
J4 in the house😂😂😂😂 😆
Wow, these highland farmers are hard workers - I think all farmers are - and they speak English. My students in the lowlands can't even complete one English sentence.
lucky for you kumander daot you visited tacadang I am from Kibungan but Afraid to go in that place because according to my classmates you must hike 8mountains before reaching the place but when I saw yor adventures in that place its like I also went there thanks a lot kumander I appreciate your adventure in tacadang
Majestic... Plus great musical scoring... Its a National Geographic and adventure movie
I'm very proud of having an igorot wife. Very beautiful and hard working woman she's from mankayan and I'm from leyte. Through marriage i am igorot now. And proud to be one.
Thank you sir,,,welcome to igorot trbes
Thank you for going back to our igorot country.... Its as do you brought us to home... Take care always .. God bless..
Thank you Crazy for taking us to a place where millions dream of going but only few actually do.
Filipinos are hardworking, hospitable, happy people and speak English fluently. The mountains are breathtaking. Thanks KD.
Kumander Daot, you are a very good story teller. You describe your travels like as if I’m there too. You inspire me to go to the places you visited and experience the beauty of the place. I hope the tourism office will continue to hire you to show their community to the whole world. Padayon KD!!!
I just love the beauty of the Philippines, my country of birth. The people and culture are one of the best in the world.
You deserve it! 💪🏻
Oh man, thank you so much!
Watching this video gave me goobumps. I imagined the Cordillerans making these trraces in order to plant food for their survival. Gallons of blood , sweat and tears. More so when you mentioned macchu picchu. The builders were excellent engineers & architects .
KD, you’ve brought us to a part of our great country that we have never been and know existed. Breath taking and enough to make you proud of being a Filipino. God bless you more as you bring us more information about our roots and culture as a nation. Safe travels to you
So beautiful... Heaven like
Inviting to visit more the outskirts of the country
Inspiring work of hands
And they are very articulate
❤❤❤
"when you wake up, you're at peace" You had me there. Thats definitely what we want. 👉🏾No one really does it like you do KD. It's like the whole KD community is with you on each travel. the storytelling is just superb and IT'S REAL.
Wowww!!Just woww! Salamat Kumander Daot for showing us the beauty of Tacadang. Honestly, even if Im from Kapangan,I have no idea how Tacadang looks like. All we know is that it's very far and the road is very difficult. It's indeed the Machu Picchu of Benguet. So grateful and much respect for you KD. Ingat as always👍😊 Matagutago ka!!
Truly one of the most amazing places I've ever been!
Tough life but we are still happy enjoy life to the fullest God bless us all.
Salute to you. Kumander you did an Amazing job for me. We Filipino are so happy that you did this for us to show how beautiful Philippines is. Thankyou for your efforts and waiting that our government in the Philippines recognize your work. ❤❤❤
Kumander Daot raises the bar once again. Incredible! Incredible! Thank you.
You're above the clouds 😊❤️
An amazing feeling!
You went to Crying Mountain high but it's El Nino so the mountain is not crying. I'm impressed that you're energy drink in hiking is a Kwatro Kantos.
I have been there in Tacadang after a few days of hiking, aside from Banaue and Batad rice terraces, Tacadang has the most beautiful rice terraces. it's not easy to go there. good that they are making roads up there.
They have their own unique beauty, that's for sure 😁
Breath taking scenery plus powerful telling stories about the community, it gives me goosebumps! I used to live in Kapangan when I was a kid but I’ve never known such amazing place. Thanks to your very informative vlogs KD!🤝🤝👏🏻👏🏻
this is so nice to watch and educational too. the breathtaking rice terraces as we actually see how they are made or built. tnx KD for sharing this. God bless.
Kumander you are truly an explorer! Thats a scary place to go and its breathtaking!
It’s beautiful and magical place the people there are so hardworking and very hospitable that how we cordilleran’s is! Thank you comander daot for your appreciation
Ang ganda ang ganda ganda ! You did justice to the place !
Wow beautiful Benguet. Thank you Kumander
Not just a regular travel vlog but a really excellent documentary. Spectacular drone shots with entertaining and informative narration.
Very nice. I don’t see the old guys from the provincial tourism ( Brian and Felix). This is very powerful and very moving.
I saw Brian and Felix at the office! They're doing great too!
Great drone shots and epic story teller. Well done kumander D
This vlog is epic KD.
Kumander Daot, I have been enjoying your adventures here in Florida. I appreciate your sharing magnificent beauty of Philippines, quite amazing views of rice terraces and how risky to get to your destination with the terrain. Thank you for tourism crew who helped, too.
Kudos to great hospitality of people and sharing their livelihood. Be careful as always and stay safe!
Thank you for your great work! 👍👍🇵🇭👍🇵🇭
Kummander delivers every time!
Only a few people have seen the CRYING MOUNTAINS OF TACADANG. We camp overnight on those school grounds. great memories
I have to come back during rainy season for that!
My goodness my country should reward you! You can be the Sir David Attenborough of the Philippines! Thank you for showcasing the Philippines! God bless you and family!
OMG 😻, you're officially Kumander DD (hinDi na daot - sa totoo lang) conquering our mountains in Benguet like that! Awesome content and oh, you seem to be more inspired adding music differently if you're going up to the Cordilleras, which is top tier. Blessings to your family always! Btw, we saw you first with FDGStages before you upload this, that's awesome.
Beautiful place. My neighbor province. Proud igorot here!!!

Best documentary of the decade
Nobody ever quite showed this perspective before and I never imagined that the unexplored corners would look remotely like this. Beautiful.
kumander daot , i think you should buy a land in that region. you seem to love mountains
Thanks KD for taking us to a remote and amazing place of my birth country that I never going to see it personally because of age (71) and residence distance. I was born in the Ilocos South China sea coastal area now resides in the US.
@LeslieAmdono Please try to learn your geography before you make a comment. Google map named the body of water west of Luzon, SOUTH CHINA SEA. PHILIPPINE SEA is the body of water east of Luzon. You can verify it yourself. Open your Google Map. Thank you.🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for showing parts of the Philippines that otherwise would be missed!
One of your absolute best yet, Anselm. Mind-numbing beauty up there. This road trip is the stuff dreams are made of. Thank you so much for sharing with us so we who are stuck in the rat race can escape, albeit briefly. Take care, bro 🤙

Ur right Ansel this place we can compare very similar to machu picchu the clouds covered the mountains and the mountain burial is literally majestic I'm a filipino but this scene I've only able to see in our school books. Thank you for sharing our cultural heritage Ansel and if am not mistaken the avenger Infinity war was shot here. Philippines is reach of culture and heritage than you so much Ansel for sharing this amazing trip with you thank you for sharing through your blog how majestic banaue is. Safe travels and stay safe guys.
Kumander D., the simplicity of the place, is where the beauty is hidden & lies! Thanks for sharing us this most hidden civilization! Be careful & take care ! 🙏❤😮
What an amazing video! I've been to Takadang by hiking for 8 hours then another 4 hours to Palina, almost 25 years ago. Except for the newly built roads, seems not much have changed. That basi is the most memorable part of my visit, the best tasting wine I've had. So envigorating!
This vlog is worth subscribing to. Great contents and there are more to explore in the Philippines with its 7K plus islands. Keep it up, you are doing a good job.
Wow so majestic. Thank you so much for sharing God bless you ❤
Wow beautiful place.Thanks Kd for exploring Kibungan. 👍💪💪💪💪💪💪💪
wow!amazing! nature beauty!nice
Wow!!! I'm from Tacadang from that rice terraces at the lower.. its very amazing and I'm always missing that place even though we go home every year 🥰🥰Thankyou sir. You're always welcome to visit our place 😊
That's our life when we were kids everytime we go home we have to travel up and down to the mountains for almost 8 hrs it's good that there are guava trees in our path that we used to pick the fruits and eat along the way, we also cross rivers to cool ourselves
Thank you for appreciating the Cordilleras, Kumander!
One of the best adventure you have, sceneries, people pure nature, thanks for sharing again
Wow! This is quite an adventure! Keep going. 🤙
My new fave video. Officially my new fave phil vlogger. Saludo Kumander!
