Heard so much about this destination. You think it’s possible to do it solo, without having to spend so much?
Hi Aleah. I tried playing around the budget and other details to fit solo travel. The following are what I did
- Adjusted food to P25 per meal (all will be cooked by you)
- Removed Kitchen Facilities Fee since assumption is you will be bringing your own stove and cookset
- You’ll be bringing your own tent; you’ll have to pay P250 for tent pitching and P50 for entrance fee.
- Extra money is P71.
This would make the budget go down to P1,100
im excited for my first cagbalete trip with some of our friends from ptb bagets.
Thank you so much for this! Will be using this for my Cagbalete trip with friends
You’re welcome so much Nathelle! Enjoy your trip in Cagbalete.
