HOME SWEET HOME ?

Trail Characteristics:
- Sharp vertical assaults (open trail)
- Knife-edges
- Muddy & loose rocks
- Mossy forests
- Water is plenty (falls along the trail)
- Leeches (alimatik) are present
- Wildlife sightings

Take Note:
- Prepare for a 3 DAY hiking (rations, equipments, bring extra ground sheet)
- We prefer the traditional camping style (camping the Panay Mountaineers' way); bringing of tent is optional
- Bring extra water containers. Day 1 (open trail) tough with limited water sources
- Bring trail foods, medications and personal hygiene kit
- Bring eating utensils to minimize garbage
- Secure your own trash
- Pack lightly and smartly
- You can get personal porter but excluded from the budget. (Porter fee: 800/day max of 15kg)
- Trail is technical so expect to crawl, slide, etc. ?
- Mother Madjaas has her own weather so expect sudden changes of climate. ?️
- Prepare your mind and body.
- Most importantly, smile, laugh and ENJOY. ????
