For my 22nd birthday, I decided to spend it in the Mountain Province specifically in Sagada. Sagada is known for the hanging coffins, wonderful caves and falls. Since no one was available to join my planned tour, I embarked another solo travel. Minimum of 3 days is the recommended itinerary in visiting the place, but I compressed mine for just below 48 hours (excluding the trips going there). Check out my do-it-yourself Sagada itinerary for first timers. A separate travel guide to Sagada can also be found here.
THINGS TO DO IN SAGADA
1. Visit the Hanging Coffins and Calvary Hill in Echo Valley.
2. Survive the spelunking activities in Sumaging Cave.
3. Experience Sagada food by dining at Yoghurt House.

6. Trek to the magnificent Bomod-ok Falls.

Hi, were planning to go for a Baguio-Sagada trip. Is November a good time? I had read other blogs they say that there are times that the buses are fully booked. But not sure what months.
