Mountain Daraitan is very famous for Sunrise view as this is highest peak in this region. If you want to see the Sunrise, need to reach at the top by 6 AM, so that you can rest a while for 10 to 15 minutes and then enjoy the Sunrise. The Mountain is full of Rocks and thick jungle. We started from Makati city by Van - a group of 17 visitors at 11 PM and reached Daraitan town in Tanay at 2 AM. Last 1 hour drive was rough due to no real road. Towards end, you cross the river Tinipak over a narrow wooden bridge. We started to climb at 3:30 AM with a local guide with us. the Guide was carrying a Wireless Walkie Talkie. You must carry at Touch with Headband - so that your hands are free and need to wear hand gloves - as while going up or coming down, you have to take support of the Rocks (may have sharp edges) or Trees. Always follow your guide else you will be lost, the Path is muddy at some places. there are 3 stations (small rest area) where you get Coconut water or Coffee. We reached at the Sunrise Point at 6 AM however could not see the Sunrise due to Clouds and Fog, but the weather at the top (about 2700 Feet altitude) was pleasant. we had good photo shoot and then started to another peak called "Heart Peak" about 1 hour walk - passing through Rocks and caves. At Heart Peak Point you see splendid view of river Tinipak. Here you have facility to take some snacks and place to sit and relax. From there we walked down - thorough rocks and rocks at the base near river. Had lunch in Daraitan and returned back to Makati by evening. It is a good and slightly tough Trek but I am sure you will enjoy it.

MOUNT PURRO NATURE RESERVE is a family-run eco-park, tucked away in the foothills of the Sierra Madre Mountain Range, near Metro Manila, Philippines. It is a simple yet distinct sustainable travel destination. It advocates God, Nature and People as true measures of personal and community development. Furthermore, with its partner, MPNR Foundation, it pursues the dream of rehabilitating the Upper Marikina Watershed and empowering the communities living within, especially the indigenous Dumagat tribe. Mount Purro Nature Reserve. Pray. Discern. Commune with nature. Hike up the mountain or swim in the middle of greenery. Play. Share stories, while taking part of home-cooked meals or gathering around the bonfire. Appreciate the cool countryside breeze under a canopy of leaves and a blanket of stars. Unwind. Re-center. Disconnect to connect. Welcome to your home away from home!

The place offers a unique combination of a staycation and a nature getaway. Just outside the metro, it's a quick escape from the city. The resort itself is plush with trees and plants, and despite a fully booked weekend, provides plenty of quiet spaces to unwind. I love that the booking comes with free access to all activities, including a mountain hike. I have always loved the Sierra Madre mountain range sceneries, and this resort is atop one of its mountains. I enjoyed the home-cooked fashion of its buffet meals, and that I was able to feast on some of the options, being a vegan traveler. I advised the resort of my diet restriction before my stay.
