Basing from what I've seen in April, Batad will most likely to harvest around June/July IF typhoons will not destroy them first. Banaue…
RE: Lots of Questions about North Luzon and Bohol.

by Herbie47 10 May 2012

I think Batad will be too hard for you as you have to climb up most of the way, think it took about 2 hours to the saddle, lots of steps.…

Hi, Agree that Batad is far better than Banaue. However unless you do regular hiking I would have to say, based on what you said in your…
RE: Banaue Rice Terraces

While I am not against people who come together to help out restore a beautiful place like Batad or Banaue, I wish they should have let…
RE: Lots of Questions about North Luzon and Bohol.

by dutchpickle 10 May 2012

Batad is indeed very scenic but it is a bit of a walk from the saddle down to the rice terrace viewpoint or village itself. The trail…
RE: Lots of Questions about North Luzon and Bohol.

by PIkayaker 10 May 2012

Vigan to Sagada direct is possible but a quite rugged trip, probably not something you'd want to try. There's plenty to do in Sagada…

Hi everyone, My backpacking org (CouchSurfing) held an "ukay-ukay" last March in order to donate to bachang. Ukay-ukay is a Philippine…

Thanks all. I hope many would come to Batad and help. True, if one can do the trek, why not help repair the damage.

It is only in Batad, a village in the town of Banaue in Ifugao that you'll find the most expansive ampitheater formation of the rice terrace…
RE: 10 days enough for Banaue and Palawan?!

After mutliple dives, (which is what the OW Couse would involve) a minimum surface interval of 18 hours is suggested before flying. …
RE: 10 days enough for Banaue and Palawan?!

by dutchpickle 30 April 2012

It would seem like a race but it probably could be done. ...if you do it - be sure to make a quick trip up to Batad from Banaue before…
RE: Subic Bay to Banaue, or other suggestions?

by gwapo 26 April 2012

Realistically a couple of days is not a viable proposition for a trip to Banaue from Subic. You may have time to take a few photographs…
RE: how to schedule two weeks on the Philippines

by Herbie47 20 April 2012

You went all the way to Banaue for one day? Was it worth it, did you get to Batad?
RE: Rice Terraces - Bus vs. Car&Driver

No need for a guide to Batad.
RE: How many days to visit the rice terraces?

if it's "my" day trip from Banaue to Batad / Bangaan that you are interested in, I booked that at the Hotel (Sanafe Lodge) when I arrived…
RE: How many days to visit the rice terraces?

by Herbie47 08 April 2012

Batad and Sagada are the best places in the rice terraces, Banaue is not great or Bontoc. I would say 4-5 days are needed as journey is…
RE: How many days to visit the rice terraces?

by surfboy 08 April 2012

I would say at least 2 days in Sagada, 2 in Banaue, 1 whole day in Batad and 1 looking around Bontoc. So 6 days needed to really appeciate…
RE: How many days to visit the rice terraces?

by Brax 07 April 2012

Hi, Yet another traveller that has to rush a visit to the terraces. They really are worth spending a little more time on. Agree - Batad…
RE: How many days to visit the rice terraces?

by PIkayaker 07 April 2012

Go to Batad, hardly worth going to Banaue if you don't.
RE: How many days to visit the rice terraces?

Unless you want a specific place to stay, I don't think you'll need to book a hotel ahead of time. Just show up as people are checking…
