Mt. Manabu summit
Mt. Manabu is our first hike as a group. It is located at Brgy. Sta Cruz, Sto. Tomas, Batangas and is approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes from Manila. Mt. Manabu is one of the best hiking destination for beginners and nature trippers like us. It has a minor climb specification and a difficulty of 2/9. You can reach the summit within 1-2 hours depending on the pace of your group. They allow overnight camping at the summit but you must have enough food and most specially water.
