A little treat of thrill in Mt. Batolusong is the rock climbing to reach the Rangyas Peak Summit For professional hikers, they might find it not so thrilling and would immediately dive going this way to reach the Rangyas Peak of Mt. Batolusong in Tanay, Rizal because it's not even hard as you see it in this photo, anyway you can always choose to go back door and not climb on these rocks to reach the summit, but I'd suggest you give it a try and it'll make your day in Mt. Batolusong. If you want more easier, yeah you can always take the exit trail but you'd miss half the experience without trying to reach the summit via the "entrance" if I may call it where you gotta try the rock climbing bare hands 😂 Also Read: How I mapped the Trail of Mt.

The thing that you should be looking forward to see when visiting Mt. Batolusong is the iconic sea of clouds view when you're at the Duhatan Ridge, the usual camp site of climbers.

Duhatan Ridge, from the name itself, I assume is that it came from the name of a fruit-bearing tree called Duhat, in Bisaya and Cebuano we call it lumboy. It's just about an hour and half or two hike from the jump off point of Barangay San Andres. The sea of clouds is spectacular and picturesque especially during rainy and cloudy seasons, and today we're lucky that the weather cooperated for us to witness this magnificent view from the Duhatan Ridge, our camp site. The Sea of Clouds from the Duhatan Ridge A lot of things you'd love to see there, as for me who's used to live in urban areas, seeing rice fields is a thing to miss since I rarely go home and w...

Plotting The Trail from Duhatan Ridge to Mt. Batolusong Summit, the Rangyas Peak in Google Mapmaker Satellite View When my workmates invited me for a Mountain Trekking to Mt. Batolusong, somewhere in Tanay, Rizal, I immediately search in Google to find more about the mountain we will be visiting.  There's a lot of blog posts about how to get there but I couldn't find where it was on earth. I went to Google Maps and search for it but I couldn't find it, I've found a point of interest with the same name "Mt. Batolusong" but why on earth it was located in the middle of Manila. Also Read: The Duhatan Ridge, where you can find the Impressive Sea of Clouds I read more articles and realize this trekking spot has been there quite some time but no one cared putting it on Google Maps so that when somebody search for it they'll be able to visualize where on earth is this Mt. Batolusong. So I got a plan during the hike, I'd like to map t...
