Mount Batulao, Nasugbu, Batangas (811 MASL), Day Hike
It is already our second time to climb Mount Batulao. The first one was a night trek and it was more relaxing, colder and a little shady than this climb. We agreed to wake up so early at around 4am and leave Amadeo, Cavite at around 5am because the trail is exposed to sun. We failed and we started trekking at the jump-off at 8am.
Jump-off point : Evercrest Golf Course, Nasugbu, Batangas
LLA : 14.0408 N 120.8011 E 811 MASL
Days required/Hours to summit : 1 day/2-4 hours
Specs : Minor climb
Difficulty : 3/9 - New Trail, 4/9 - Old Trail
Trail class 3 with 60-70 degrees assault

| The SAWI (Single At Walang Iniintindi) Group we've met at Camp 1 |
There's a registration fee of Php20 when you pass Camp 1, but if you will camp overnight, it is Php30. You can only reach Camp 1 if you will trek the Old trail. There is a comfort room at Camp 1 and you just need to pay a little amount for the water that you will be using to flush something, hehe =) The caretaker of the camp is also selling drinking water at Php15 per 1.5 liters.
