Mt. Manabu Revisited 2021

Image
I first hiked Mt. Manabu with my cousins last 2019 . For those unfamiliar with Mt. Manabu , it's a mountain located in Sto. Tomas Batangas. Once known as Pagligawan or a place to get lost, the name Manabu came from the abbreviated word MAtaas NA BUndok which means "tall mountain". The mountain stands 760 meters tall and can easily be hiked in a day. Mt. Manabu Mt. Manabu Details: Height: 760 MASL Jump-off point : Brgy. Sta. Cruz, Santo Tomas, Batangas Mt. Manabu is a perfect hiking destination for beginners and for those who are "complexion conscious" as the mountain's dense foliage offers shade throughout much of the hike. Aside from that, the ascent is gradual with several "stations" where hikers can rest, eat, and even drink the most expensive coffee in the market -civet coffee. Mt.

Hiking Mt. Inari

Located in Fushimi Ward, Kyoto City in Kyoto Prefecture, Mt. Inari is one of the most scenic pilgrimage mountains of the Kansai Region of Japan. Hiking Mt. Inari via the Bamboo Grove Course Mt. Inari Details: Mt. Inari or simply Inariyama , stands 233 meters tall and is a perfect day hike for those living in the city. Since the mountain is a pilgrimage mountain, there are several trails one can use to reach its peak. Some of these trails are made easier by the manmade steps which probably cater to the older pilgrims. These trails pass through several shrines and sub-shrines and not to mention the arcades of vermillion torii gates.  Arrived at Inari Station Going through the Great torii to reach Fushimi Inari Shrine Passing through Fushimi Inari 's famed torii gates The trail up Mt.
