The most grueling trail I’ve encountered so far! ⛰️
And honestly? I’m so glad I explored it as a joiner hahaha (yesss, even coordinators and organizers need to sit back and be joiners once in a while! 😆)
23 hours, 60% assault, and a test of pure willpower.
📍 Location: Bagu, Bakun, Benguet
🥾 Activity: Day Hike / Circuit Trail
🔥 Difficulty: Major Climb (8/9)
What was supposed to be a 14–18 hour day hike turned into a 23-hour endurance test. Navigating technical ridges, river treks, and relentless inclines pushed us well beyond our limits (because it's the only way for us ngy metlng nga makaawid hahaha so no choice😆)
On this mountain, I reached my limit and it was a humbling reminder of why the Cordillera mountains command so much respect.
📌 Want to experience Bakun for yourself?
Brownskies Lakbay Venture has an upcoming November schedule for Bagu (Backtrail). That's good for beginners with endurance. Mas madali na 'yan compared to Bagu Circuit.
‼️A reminder to our outdoor community: Let us tread lightly. Leave only footprints. Let’s respect the culture, the community, and the local people who call these mountains home and always ensure proper coordination with the LGU before embarking on any hike.
