Скачать или смотреть Hiking Mt. Batulao | What to Expect? (Cinematic Vlog)

Twelve peaks. Blue skies. Open ridges.

This is Mt. Batulao in Nasugbu, Batangas — steep, scenic, and just the right kind of challenging.

It was our first open-trail hike, and it definitely won’t be the last.

💡 Trivia

Name Meaning:
The name Batulao likely comes from “bato sa ilaw” or “ilaw sa dalawang bato”, meaning “illuminated rocks,” referring to how sunlight shines between its two prominent peaks during sunrise and sunset.

Trail Options:
There are two main trails:
Old Trail: steeper, more rugged, with rope-assisted sections (~60–70° incline) near the summit
New Trail: wider, more scenic, with numbered peaks and views—often used for descent

Beginner Friendly:
It’s popular among first-timers because of its accessibility, but the summit’s narrow, exposed sections (especially on New Trail) can be tricky if you’re not prepared—proper shoes and caution are key.
