Itinerary: Batad – Hungduan – Banaue, Ifugao

July 2, 2015 by Josiah 6 Comments

I have a feeling that my effort to layout all the expenses on our trip to Batad, Hungduan and Banaue will somehow make you confident on traveling to these places, but I also have a feeling that just laying them out there as a list is still not enough so I am also providing our somewhat real itinerary.

The itinerary below is very close to what we really did in our trip but I’ve modified it so that it would be easier to understand if you are also planning on a trip to these places.

To be specific, I adjusted the time to be closer to the nearest 10 minute of what really happened to us.

Check the itinerary below.

Hidden Beach – Tour C

I’ve written an El Nido budget and itinerary before. But thru time details have changed. Even the town of El Nido was not the same when I first visited it.

I thought about modifying the previous itinerary I’ve made but I thought that it’s great to look back at the past details so we could know the changes that we see in the present. So I decided not to delete or modify my previous post and here I am writing again a Do-It-Yourself (DIY) budget and itinerary that I hope would help you plan your trip in El Nido.

This time also the budget for food and accommodation is higher for a more comfortable travel. 🙂

Bataan 1,000 Pesos Overnight Budget and Itinerary

  • Summary
  • Itinerary
  • Budget for 2 pax
  • Things to Bring
  • Notes

Before we went to Bataan I had little money but I really wanted to hit the beach for an overnight trip. At first I was not confident in going for an overnight trip to Bataan with only 1,000 Pesos as budget. I went back to my notes, removed all the expensive tourist spots, tried to construct a new budget and itinerary for my trip to Bataan and that was when I realized that it was possible to go there with only 1,000 Pesos as budget. And with a lot of walking and by taking food from our houses we actually did it.
