Nueva Ecija Tourist Spot

1. Mt. Kasahingan

It is the newest hiking destination in Nueva Ecija. Mt. Kasahingan became popular because of its breathtaking beauty, relaxing ambiance, easy-to-moderate trails, and gorgeous waterfalls, and it is pretty much accessible from Manila and other points in Luzon. Hiking this mountain can give you a rewarding experience and Instagrammable views.

Mt. Samat

It is a historical mountain in Bataan where the Shrine of Valor or Dambana ng Kagitingan was built on its summit. This shrine has a huge cross with a memorial shrine and museum built to honor the gallantry of the Filipino American soldiers who fought during World War 2. The shrine complex on Mount Samat includes a war museum with different memorabilia, paintings, and weapons used by the Filipino, American, and Japanese forces during the Battle of Bataan. These structures were commissioned by former President Ferdinand Marcos in 1966 for the 25th Anniversary of the Second World War. Also, please note that the province holds the record of the Battle of Bataan, including the controversial Death March.

Mt. Batulao

It is one of the most climbed mountains in Southern Luzon because of its beautiful landscape and cool and relaxing ambience. Plus, a two to three-hour land travel from Manila, Mt. Batulao, can reward you with a breathtaking and wide view of its green mountain slopes. Your trek can be tiring, but your tired muscles will be relaxed as the cool and refreshing wind blows. 

Tarak Ridge (Mt. Mariveles)

This mountain has a good combination of breathtaking beauty, an elegant skyline, cool and temperate weather, and abundant flora and fauna, making it one of the hiker's top destinations in Bataan. By the way, it was my first major hike, and after five years, I am here again. Our journey is totally different because last time, it was the wet season, and this time, it was super dry.

Mt. Talamitam

Though no trees are dancing and birds singing, the nude shape of Mt. Talamitam makes it one of the hiking destinations in the Province of Batangas. Considered a friendly mountain for beginners, this mountain can bring a remarkable hiking experience to seasoned hikers because of its soil type, which is slippery and muddy during the wet season and hot during summer. As you can see in the photo above, this mountain is covered with green, which brings a relaxing aura to the eyes.

Mt. Manalmon

It's a mountain in Bulacan that can give you a great experience. The trails are simple, there's a relaxing ambiance on the summit, there's a gorgeous landscape, and the rock formations are picture-perfect. Experience the extreme by hopping from one cave to another. There are other outdoor activities that you can try courtesy of the local government and the tourism office.

Mt. Tibig

This mountain offers a relaxing trek because of its trails and gorgeous picturesque on the summit. With reggae music in the background, the stunning mountain ranges, covered with greens, will definitely make your eyes relaxed while the fresh and cool wind will help your soared muscles recover - such a perfect place for bonding. Also, accessibility from Manila is super check because it is situated in Lobo, Batangas, a two to three hours land travel from the metro. Plus, hiking for one to two hours, you can easily reach the summit of Mt. Tibig.
