Once cut-off from the outside world by the Sierra Madre and the Philippine Sea, Dingalan is now opens up to travelers and tourists with the construction of a very wide highway . It is now barely an hour away from Cabanatuan City.Dingalan is for nature-lovers. Good Hiking and sea-exploring opportunities exist for adventurous travellers. Those looking to get away from it all will have no problem doing so here.
Aurora is about five hours drive from Manila where the last couple of hours will be spent on the Sierra Madre Range. Genesis Bus Lines has early morning trips from Pasay. Alternately, you can travel first to Cabanatuan City and ride D'Liner going to Dingalan. There are also aircon vans for rent from Cabanatuan City Central Terminal.
I have taken this trip with my best travel bud Dong Ho. Check out his entry on Dingalan, Aurora as it is nestled by mountains here.
I would love to hike there
ReplyDeletehahaha... lagi akong nasa picture ah. ganda talaga sa taas. buti na lng sinama mo na ang details ng pagpunta doon. ganda ng kuha ng seascape.
ReplyDeletewow, para kayo nasa Sound of Music :) Saan ang next na adventure nyo ni Dong? I'm still waiting for your Camiguin posts ;)
ReplyDeletegood to know there's now a concrete highway going to dingalan. how about going to aurora? my trip to aurora a few years ago was very tiring because of the bad road condition. mukhang bibilhin ni dong ang mga bundok.:D
ReplyDeletewonderful world talaga! i never knew Philippines is that beautiful and talagang nature na nature talaga eh no ^^
ReplyDeletei like the 2nd picture where the mountains meet the seas. Ganda ng perpective ng shot mo.
ReplyDeleteAhh, so Dingalan faces the Pacific pala. Is this one of those areas recommended for wind electric-generating thingies? i hope the area is developed for its natural beauty.
ang sarap siguro mag mountain biking dyan/..
