I think 5K each is safe, pero mas makakatipid kayo kung makikijoin kayo sa ibang groups sa mga tours para mas makamura. Mahal din kasi mga tours pero worth it.

The tour guide rates are expensive if 2 lng kayo. Either join kayo or asked other people na konti din to join you para tipid sa big falls, small falls, kiltepan, underground river and echo valley. Sa caves, may ratio yun number of guide sa number of persons kasi you would definitely need their assistance and expertise. :goatee:

Sagada is the place for an adventurous vacation. Must see Bomod-ok Falls, Sumaging Cave and Hanging Coffins. Kakaiba dito and masarap din mag-food trip sa mga restaurants nila like Lemon Pie House, Yogurt House, Dalikan, etc.

3 days in Sagada was fun, well, aside from the pain in my calves, thighs, butt, lower back, upper back, and neck. Oh, and yeah, the cold sniffles and cough that I seem to have developed.

 

Anyway, while the big falls (bomod-ok) is where most people tend to go, we went on an overnight trek to the Twin Falls ... it was a definite winner. The last day was spent in doing the cave connection, though with the sheer number of people in the caves, it wasn't worth it anymore.

 

Dinner at the Log House was ... so-so at best. The pinikpikan (native chicken, smoked ham, potatoes, and string beans) was bland at best. All told Salt and Pepper is a better place to eat, at a far lower budget to boot.

 

There is a large number of rest houses there now, all of which are pretty much ugly and cheap. Personally Canaway rest house was the cleanest of the 3 that we stayed in.

Food at Yogurt House is fantastic value!

[popoyking]

If I can make a suggstion for your stay go to George's house one of the cleanest and newest place to stay... Look for Ireneus and ask for the best villa with matching fireplace nice place to cook b-b-q in the evening... Every December I'm in Sagada because of the best weather...cheers...

Going to Sagada is cheap. We were a group of four (including me) and spent only around 5k each! Yun na nga lang, we stayed at a cheap in (St. Joseph's Retreat House), shared rooms and hear this... no heated water. Grabe ang ginawwww. Don't forget to check out the Lemon Pie house which serves really yummy (but limited lemon pies). We befriended the owner and she guided us in going to the big falls and sumaguing cave and even served us pinikpikan for dinner!

[happidick]

Hi, hows the road going to sagada? di na ba rough road? how many hours from baguio? when is the best month to go there? Thanks in advance!

Canaway rest house was 1K per night for 4 beds with hot showers. 4 of us went up there and we averaged about 4K expenses including gas, food, lodging, and guides.

Depends on your route, the Baguio-Sagada road is about 5 hours drive (safely) and is pretty much well cemented except for a few spots. If you take the road from Banaue, then that's pretty much dirt roads. Best months to go there are from September to February in my opinion.

Ask ko lang..mas okay ba sumama sa group tour or mas ok din ang DIY?

The best is to go there with a group of friends that will enjoy the trekking and just hire guides locally (at the municipal hall). Packaged tours tend to rush you a bit.

 

Bring a nice warm blanket, or better yet, a nice warm body to snuggle with at night.

(Damn, TSB! If you can do cave connection, I'm confident I can do it too )

Cave connection is easy JotN, its the trek to the 3 Falls that's really bad. Guides average out to about 400 to 600 each (depending on your negotiating skills). Sorry I can't help with fare and souvenirs. Figure food out at roughly 250 per meal per person.

I want to try visiting this place but is it advisable to bring the kids along? their ages range from 6 to 12 years, will they likewise enjoy it here? and where would it be nice for a family to stay?
