To get to Kandugaw Peak, I would recommend to ride the bus going to Mantalongon from Carbon market so you only have to ride habal2x once. It is actually just an easy hike because of the cemented stairs going up there. Still, you have to prepare some amount of money since they won't let you go up without a guide but don't worry, it's only up to you on how much you want to share or give. This is good for beginners and the view is surely amazing. Enjoy!

Chris guides this trek for 18yrs. very fit guy. knows the route inside out and the villagers along the trek. lots of knowledge. we chat everything under the sun. he is not pushy, followed my pace and gave me time for pictures. 2 routes available: route 1 (loop): start at casaroro falls entrance, twin falls, kaipohan sulphur vents, lake nailig, summit, back to lake nailig, lake yagumyum, sulphur vents, return to entrance of casaroro falls. route 2 (transverse): start at casaroro falls entrance, twin falls, kaipohan sulphur vents, lake nailig, summit, back to lake nailig, lake yagumyum, end at bidiao at dauin which is also at dauin geothermal exploration project. trek from casaroro falls to summit is 10km. from summit to bidiao is 7km. althou the 7km seems shorter, it is not easy getting down as most of the rocks were covered with green moss and slippery tree roots. trek is usually done in 2days where you camp at lake nailig. the temp at the lake can dip to 10degrees or lower. not wanting to subject myself to torture and bringing additional load, i opt for route 2, day hike, 2L water, packed lunch, wore a tshirt and shorts, trek shoes with good tracksion, good socks!, started at 6am. bring plaster in case of blisters or paste it over toes beforehand. wear long pants n long sleeves if you are afraid of getting cuts by tall grass or plants. there is no mosquito and buys but alot of spider webs. took me 4hrs from start to summit and 4hrs from summit to bidiao. i am a avid trekker, fit and my pace was fast with rest points while taking pics along the trek, the summit and a 15mins lunch. trekking permit is required for the trek and the route can be confusing for many as there were many routes on the mountain without signages. glad i hired a guide! if you are trekking this for the first time, start early and expect double the time required. the steps up are very high and requires you holding to the roots to pull urself up and some crawling on all fours to squeeze your way under fallen trees. His rates as of Feb 2019 (guide ratio 1:3): overnight trek p750/day (the guest bring food for themselves and for the guide. guest bring own camping equipments) p850/day (the guest pay the guide to bring his own food. guest bring own camping equipments) day trek p1500 (the guest bring food for themselves and for the guide) p1700 (the guest pay the guide to bring his own food) *note that if you select route 2, you have to pay for the guide transportation back to valencia town for p350 (habal habal hire) *note also you can rent camping equipments from chris at additional cost contact him via facebook messenger, glecerio chris d. gonzalez. there are other guides available and could be found on tripadvisor.

Went here a year but the flashbacks of coming here again is enticing indeed. Chill ride coming here. Relaxing view along the way, too. Short and fun hiking. And the view on the top is simply breathtaking. Best to go there just in time for the Sunrise or Sunset to capture the perfect photos to treasure the experience.
