For many Filipino families, no matter what religion they have, Holy Week is the time to pause, reflect and spend time with their families.
As for me,we took time to spend our Holy Thursday in taking a hike in Mt.Manabu. It’s just two hours to climb, and the peak area is like a beautiful garden. The highest point is marked with a white cross.
Grass, as if trimmed by a lawnmower, covers the summit area, and there are flowering plants and shrubs with blossoms of yellow, red, and pink. During summer months, wild berries called ‘sampinit’ grow on the trails near the peak. They are edible and sweet, like mini-strawberries. This image of an elegant park is exactly the image of Manabu Peak, probably the easiest, most accessible mountain from Manila. Add the beautiful views of the Malipunyo mountain range, as well as Mt.Maculot and Mt.Makiling, and it’s picture perfect!
Because of its easy access, short trail, and very beautiful environment, Manabu Peak is a great introduction to hiking for beginners. Even then, veteran hikers rank this mountain as one their favorite ‘fun climb’ destinations or as part of a more challenging traverse to Mt. Malipunyo.
The place is look beautiful..how many hours to get in top of the mountain?
