Our First Trip in Tanay , Rizal
In order to escape to the busy life in Manila , we manage to plan a trip to go in Treasure Mountain .
My partner Mich sends message to the Page for treasure mountain in order to book our spot in advance, we choose the tent for accomodation so we can fully feel the nature, ambiance of the place and just enjoy the view.
Around 2pm we decided to go in Ortigas because according to the guide we can ride a uv express there going to cogio, but when were there we found out that they already reroute it to Cubao, so we decided to ride taxi going to cubao amounting 300 pesos..
When were in cubao we luckily ride a small bus going to cogio Gate 2 . The fare is 45 pesos.
We're unfamiliar with the area so we told the driver to drop off us near the jeepney terminal bound to Sampaloc, Tanay. Travel time is 30 minutes. From there, we asked again a help to the driver to drop off us to Maysawa waiting shed or to the jump off point of Treasure Mountain. Travel time is 60 minutes due to heavy traffic since its almost rush hour and we paid 35 pesos each . At the waiting shed, we hired a tricycle going to the gate of Treasure Mountain, we paid 200 pesos Travel time is 30 minutes. Going up to Treasure Mountain is now easy for those who will bring their car. Some part of the road are now cemented. You can bring your car up to the main gate of Treasure Mountain..
For us this is our first trip together and the tent number #32 is our favorite spot
where we shared our random talks in the middle of the cold night, we are a little bit of scared that we couldn't witness the sea of clouds in the morning and the sun rising due to bad weather that night but we still manage to appreciate our first night in the small tent. There are small cafeteria near the treasure mountain which you can buy some foods ; price of the food is a little bit higher but the taste is delicious , you must try there tapsilog .
As early in the morning we decided to enjoy the cinematic view of the mountain. We witnessed the amazing sea of clouds and we manage to take some photos of it. The moment is surreal and satisfying so we just enjoy the beautiful view in front of us while holding each other hands. As we proceed to our next stuff, we tried to do the full course in which you can try 4 different rope obstacles for only P250 but if you just want the swing its just cost P50 only. You must try these one to complete your journey in the Treasure Mountain.
