Mt. Daraitan sits near the border of Tanay, Rizal and General Nakar, Quezon. The popular mountain for seasoned and budding hikers offers a scenic view of lush forest trails, century old formation of stalagmite and stalactite rocks, caves, free-flowing rivers, the famous ‘sea of clouds’ and magnificent view of Sierra Madre mountain range from the summit.


Dayhike usually begins at dawn so bring a flashlight – nope, not the one on your mobile phone but a lightweight flashlight or headlamp. I forgot to bring mine thus ended up renting one in the station (P30). I struggled after a few minutes of hike and my heart beat nonstop because of the sharp slopes and maybe, due to lack of physical preparation and sleep (and coffee!).


After approximately four hours of rough trail and steep climb, we reached Mt. Daraitan’s summit. Sea of clouds are real! The majestic view of Sierra Madre and Pililla Wind Farm is priceless.

Its proximity to Manila, refreshing mountain scenery, cooler climate and generally uncrowded destinations makes it a good alternative to Tagaytay on any given weekend. Parts of Tanay pass through portions of the Sierra Madre mountain range, making it a great motorcycling and biking destination. WHERE EXACTLY IS TANAY: Tanay is located 57 kilometers east of Manila in the Philippines. Tanay is bordered by Antipolo City in the northwest and the towns of Baras, Morong and Teresa in in the west, General Nakar (Quezon Province) in the east, and Pililla, Santa Maria (in the Laguna province) as well as the lake Laguna de Bay in the south. Tanay is a town east of Manila, in the Philippines. The late 18th-century Tanay Church, also called San Ildefonso de Toledo Church, has a Renaissance-style facade. Parola is a lighthouse with sweeping view...

Daranak Falls If Antipolo has the 12-meter high Hinulugang Taktak, Tanay has Daranak Falls, which thunders down to its catch basin from 2 meters higher. Hinulugang Taktak is sadly polluted, but is undergoing rehabilitation as a National Park. In the meantime, the less famous but more impressive Daranak Falls is a great alternative for both local and foreign nature lovers. It still revels in its unspoiled beauty at the foot of the Tanay mountains, which forms part of the Sierra Madre range, despite its growing popularity. It Is surrounded by lush vegetation, and numerous rivers and ponds.
