This is on my bucket list when I go back to the Philippines next month! Any plans to go back?

In reply to Lillian. I have to say this seems pretty risky to me. You probably will be able to get to Batad the same day without issue but getting back in time for a night bus if you want to see anything of the area is going to be super tricky. Nothing much runs on time in the Philippines :) You'll thank yourself a million times over for adding in another day.

Hey! im going to banue and batad next month and we are arriving on the overnight bus and plan to go to batad the same day, stay 1 night and then go back to banue to get an overnight bus back to manila that night because we have a flight the next morning… do you think this is possible? we are both pretty fit and happy to hike but im just worried about timing… also how did you find the buses? did they run on time? thank you!! xx

In reply to Yaya. Sorry Yaya, it was a no-name place with no signage, phone number, or obviously, website. Just show up and ask around.

Hi Alex – if you don’t mind me asking what hotel did you guys stay in at Batad? I think you said it was $7.38 per night.

In reply to Marie.

Hey Marie, I left my stuff in my hotel rooms while out hiking. I recommend a Pacsafe or a Kensington laptop lock if you’re worried — check my obsessions page for more info! Enjoy 🙂

Thanks so much for all these useful informations ! The Philippines look incredible and I’m currently planning on visiting this magic country. Your blog is amazing, please keep travelling haha 🙂 Quick question for you; in Banaue, Batad or Sagada did you ever felt safe leaving your big backpack bag at the hostels you were seeping while leaving for the day to explore the area or did you always kept all your belongings with you ?
Thanks a lot you’re such an inspiring person!!!
