If you’re looking for an extreme yet satisfying adventure, this trail fits you. Nagpatong Rock Formations is located at Brgy. Cuyambay, Tanay Rizal and usually starts and ends near the Tablon Elementary School. Nagpatong Rock is known for its unique structure that looks like big rocks piled on top of one another, forming a tower

Beautiful place. An hour on average of hike plus climbing the rock. Be very careful as not much of safety nets around it. And the top is narrow and windy at times. But the view is amazing and you can take great photos from your guide who will climb the other rock to take your pics. So make sure to tip them as they will also ensure your safety and security.

It is a minor hike, you can get to the rock formation in 45 mins. Trail can be a bit challenging when it rained tho. There's a 90° rappelling to get to the top of the rock formation. Good for beginners.

Dear Nagpatong, Thank you for making my first hiking adventure memorable. The views, the challenges, the rock formation is unforgettable. See you again maybe next time? <3

Even if we had a hard time because of the muddy trail and slippery stones, We enjoyed our journey until we reached the top of the rock. View from top is so good that we've forget the difficulties we have experienced.

The place was great and will offer you an extra challenge adventure. However there is just an issue on the rope that is used to climb on the top of the rock. The lgu should create a well structured safety tools for the climbers and should have atleast medical personnel on the ground in case of emergency that may occur.

If you are looking for some adventure near Metro Manila,, this area is really a very nice placd to try!!! Thouh trail trekking is good,, but some areas are not for beginners, you will definitely challenged on the way hiking towards the peak area,, but surely worth it once already at the summit!!

I went here yesterday. Super fun and easy, really good for beginners. The trek is 1 hour but it will be based on your pacing. The hard part is going to the falls, a bit far and steep. Enjoy and have fun at the top! 😊✌

Place for moving-on! Hahaha Muddy trail must watch. Beautiful and lovely place, worth it buwis buhay na rock climb..

Sulit. The best!

Minor climb. Good for beginners, rope segments up and down the rock itself is the challenging part but even young-at-heart trekkers can conquer this. I suggest to start hiking before 5am so that you can be at the top just in time for sunrise and witness the sea of clouds.

Good for beginners 👍🏻 Wear your gloves 🧤 some stones are sharp, take extra careful when stepping stone. Best to go with your squads.

Amaze by the beautiful view when you are at the top of nagpatong,

the 30-minute trek is easy. the rock is a stunner. since the mountain is so popular and commercial, you won't surely enjoy when you visit there on weekends and holidays.

Very Nice to be on top but ofcourse Hard to go up and down . Local guide were very hands on as to safety and All .

Hiking trail can be a bit hard when it's rainy season. But enjoyed hiking here. Great for beginners, and great . Would like to commend the tour guide, They are accommodating.

Hiking and mountain climbing Is a perfect avenue to test your endurance and strength; and a good outlet to destress. I am a regular walker, but the trail to this place is intense especially when the ground is still dump due to a previous overnight rain. T’was my first time to join a group of climbers, and gee it was a grand experience. On beginners note, I will rate this 4 (5 being the most difficult).

Awesome to climb and hike with great views and scenery of Rizal mountains and georeserve and the billboard. Love this rock formation!!

Its an extreme hiking experience. If you reached the top of it, its all worth it to take the risk. I have so much fun here ! I wish i could go back again soon. I Love this place.

Easy climb, nice view. Avoid groups because they do full on photoshoots.

It's a super place to seek ur adventure

It made me breathless, literally and figuratively! Amazing hike and hikers and very warm guides.

Beautiful place and super nice tour guides ❤

Good place to shoutout your feelings

Certified scared of vertical heights.

Our usual trekking with Chill Team. A great place for extra challenging experience.

Nagpatong Rock is not for the faint hearted. At first the trail might seem to be easy but getting to the monolith is a different story. It's a heart pumping experience making your way through a cliff with just clinging to a rope and fitting yourself to a narrow and tricky rock side of a cliff. But all that fear conquered will be rewarded with a beautiful 360 degree view of the Sierra Madre Mountains afterwards.

Good for beginners. It's only 560masl. The trail going to the rock formation is also easy. Going up to the rock formation is the one that is challenging. But once you're in the top, you'll be greeted with beautiful view. It was raining during our hike but surprisingly became sunny when we are at the top hence with the beautiful rainbow. Just be careful with the rocks. Some are sharp. It is recommended to bring gloves. The local guide will assist you specially the difficult trail going down. Overall, it was a good hike.

Chill climb pero mahirap umakyat sa rock formation. The view on top is really amazing!

Only 5 of us (+tg) went on a hike that day. There's only six of us out there. Yeah! (ulit ulit😛) It's one of the best mountains I've ever visited. Thanks to our TG who took our amazing buwis-buhay shots. 😍😍😍😍

Very amazing view at the top..especially when the rainbows comes out😍.

Hiking was easy, climbing the rock formation and going down from it proves very challenging for my wife and 13 year old bunso. Good thing the guide will assist you on those parts where rope is the only thing holding you.

Close to Manila. Easy trek. Amazing view.

Elevation: 560 masl Distance: 3.3 km Difficulty Level: 4/9 Specs: Minor Climb, Trail Class Level 2, Rock Scrambling What do I know about rock climbing? Nada. So when I was told that this hike is safe for beginners, I gladly said yes to a Holy Thursday hike to the Nagpatong Rock Formation in Tanay, Rizal. The heavenly photos of climbers at the summit were irresistibly tempting, but I did not realize it was almost at the cost of our lives. I can now laugh about it because I've done it, not without the help of our master climber guides, Robert and Renald. We started the hike at 6:12 am, reaching the base of the vertical climb to the summit at 7:23 am. I had several near-miss slips because the rainfall from the previous night made the trail muddy and slippery. There was a point when we were instructed to wear gloves because we might have to hold on to sharp rock edges and spiny tree branches. The tricky part was the 90-degree vertical climb through sturdy bamboo ladders, interspersed with areas where the abrupt slope changes are sharp rocks with foot-deep crevices. Robert instructed me to hold on tight to the blue rope with my right hand, sink the left foot into the fissure, and use momentum, core, and shoulder strength to hurl myself up to the next step upward. At this point, I questioned myself why did I do this? What if my momentum and powers are not enough to make it further? Bakit walang harness? Nagpatong hike is scarier than sky-diving, I now realize. A misstep can easily lead me to heaven or hell, wherever my judgment leads me. When I finally reached the summit, the adventure was all worth the beauty of what I was experiencing. It turns out that Robert was not just a climbing guru. He was also a master photographer with camera tricks up his sleeve. The itinerary also included a refreshing dip at the Tungtong Falls. I thought it would be easier, but that's another story. It was just as tricky. Despite the near-misses, I went home without a scratch. My husband cannot even say the same.

Fulfilling

Very easy hike.

one of the beautiful rock formation ive ever been!

adventorous... nice view

Nice place for hike and photos

As all the mountain tops view, always refreshing and satisfying. Akyat na kayo! Wala pang 1 hr ang trek.

Amazing view. Amazing Experience 👌

It is advisable for beginners in the mountain community enthusiasts. Very easy trail going to the base of the rock formation. A bit tough for those who have fear of heights but don't worry 'cause the guides are very helpful to the guests. View at the top of the rock/summit is amazingly beautiful where you will see neighboring mountains around.

Nice place

Expect the unexpected super sayang ahon hahaha literal po na adrenalin rush 😅😆😀

Nice

Recommended for beginner hikers, but needs to be more careful in climbing this rock formation

amazing view of sea of clouds at 7 am. very refreshing :)

(Translated by Google) He just easy climb, the 60-90 mins hike to the foot when rock formation, but mejo hold the waiting game. I suggest you go early, about 4am ahead of the queue. (Original) Madali lang sya akyatin, mga 60-90 mins hike hanggang sa may paanan nung rock formation, pero mejo matagal ang waiting game. I suggest na pumunta kayo ng maaga, mga 4am para mauna sa pila.

(Translated by Google) Nice (Original) Ang ganda

Best to enjoy the 360° mountain view

(Translated by Google) There's a lot of rock formations and mejo difficult just to climb specially if you do not have gloves because it's super tile of stones. So i advise to bring gloves. It's not a long walk, so it's less than two hours. It's very fulfilling when you're up and you've reached sunrise and if there's a sea of ​​clouds. Wait a long time before you can shoot at her best. Especially if you have climbed super long pictures (Original) There's a lot of rock formations and mejo mahirap lang xa akyatin specially kung wala kang gloves kasi super talas ng mga bato. So i advise na magdala kayo ng gloves. Hindi ganun katagal na lakaran, kaya ng less than two hours. It's very fulfilling kapag nasa taas ka na at inabutan mo ung sunrise at kung merong sea of clouds. Mejo matagal lang na paghihintay bago ka maakapagpapicture sa pinakasummit nya. Lalo na kung meron mga umakyat na super tagal mag picture

Nice view nice place

Amazing beauty of nature 🤘🏆👌

Medyo risky yung paaakyat sa rock formation, but the view makes it all worth the hike up.

very good view here.. feels like on a highest hill of the world.. love the fug

Breathtaking view for a breathaking heights!

(Translated by Google) For those looking for adventure but do not want to be tired enough. Here for you. Just 45 mins trekking into the rocks. Beautiful view height. (Original) Para sa mga naghahanap ng adventure pero ayaw ng napapagod ng husto. Eto para sa inyo. 45 mins lang trekking papunta sa rocks. Ganda ng view sa taas.

Stunning summit

Easy trek, hard climb up the rock formation. But the view on top is truly rewarding!

It's a one of a kind place in the Philippines or in the world maybe. It's a fulfilling experience when you reach the top, especially when you happen to see the sea of clouds below which we did. Beauty and serenity in one. A true wonder of nature.
