Mt. Batulao Nasugbu, Batangas Day Hike

“You must give everything to make your life as beautiful as the dreams that dance in your imagination.”  ― Roman Payne

This is our first time to write a blog about our adventures and this will serve as our travel diary. To start our travel diary, here's our trip to Mt. Batulao Nasugbu, Batangas with our team (Gwatlo Happy Hikers). 

Mt. Batulao's trail difficulty is 3/10 which is good for beginners/newbies. Wear sleeves and leggings because it is an open trail and nothing would protect us from the sun's heat. The trail to the summit is not too exhausting but you need to bring extra water just in case.
