Mt Romelo Hike

Late posting for the Famy Laguna hike. It was last week of February that we went for hiking in Mt. Romelo, Famy Laguna. It was a 6 hour trek to the camp site. Most of us is new to this fun activity with only two out seven have experience in hiking. We arrived at the registration at 7:30pm and we started the trek at 8:00pm. The trail was muddy and dark with only three flash lights available. The muddy and dark trail was accompanied by rain which gets heavier when we reached the peak of the mountain. It was about 12 midnight when we reached the peak but the campsite isn't there yet. From the peak we still have to follow the muddy the trail that even get worst due to the heavy rain pour. Some of our things were taken ahead of us by the horseman. We only have few things with us and the bad news is we don't have enough water with us. With me is my camera while the others have some canned foods with them and water, but not enough for the group. Though we were all tired and arrived at the camp late all was paid off when we woke up in the morning and saw the beauty of the place. Right next to our tent is the free flowing river water of the river. And sarap matulog sa tabi ng ilog since all you can hear was the sound of the flowing water rushing down the river going into the water falls.



Picture above is the water fall. Other campers prefer to have their camp near the water. But it’s a bit dangerous especially when heavy rain pours there is a possibility of overflow of water. The water is so cold but you I’d say you haven’t gone to this place if you do not plunge into the freezing water of the fall.


Jackie? She’s from UP Pampanga unfortunately not able to get her number.


Above is the trail during the trek. You can imagine how difficult the trek was.
