REMINDERS AND TIPS
Please take note of the following:
- Pack light, bring only the stuffs you need.
- Make sure to bring clothes for hiking and something ok when wet.
- For people not used to walking, try conditioning yourselves. Its better to prepare your body.
- Always carry extra plastic bags, or water proof bags anywhere you go. Its for your gadgets during rain.
- Unless your camera is waterproof or your ready to dispose of it, don't bring it inside the caves.
- Make sure you have extra foods(cookies, energy foods) included in your pack.
- No vandalizing when you are at the caves please.
- If you want to get quality pictures, bring your tripod, it will be very helpful especially when you want to get a picture of the sunrise in Kiltepan.
- You will drastically lower your expenses when you cook on your own, know someone from Sagada to tour you and better yet if you know someone in Sagada which will offer his/her house.
