In a nutshell
Go there while it still exist
Trek to the Tappiya Waterfalls
pres_16 Says: Secluded at the back of the high-rising Batad rice terraces, white waters of Tappiya cascades into a natural bathing pool. T reach the falls, visitors must hike a trail for about two hours from Batad Saddle. Its a difficult climb but the hike is worth the effort, however....
Walk Down to the Rice Terraces
Nhess Says: Getting to Batad is too tiresome so you need to rest for awhile before starting your trek. Seeing up close the amphitheater-shaped rice terraces is so great that you will certainly enjoy the long hike going down to the village.
Nhess Says: A Batad adventure won't be complete without going down to Tappia Falls, a 32-feet water falls hidden at the foot of the mountain. It's a 45-minute trek from the village and though it's quite an exhausting hike, you will be refreshed when you get to the place. Anyone can take...
mcpike Says: There are quite a few walks available using Batad as a base - but be sure to take a guide as the roads aren't well marked and only the locals know them well. In addition, it frequently rains and there may be mudslides or avalanches that they will know about. We went north...
Trekking through the rice terraces
JamesWtc Says: Hire a guide and take a challenge to trek the Batad rice terrace, to the top from bottom. It is a tiring journey but the rewards is another life enriching experience. Imagine how those people survive despite the adversity of landscape.
francis0927 Says: Hike to the remote villages of Cambulo and Pat-yay. Cambulo is about 3 hours hike from Batad. It has an amazing view of some well-preserved Rice Terraces. You could also see traditional Ifugao houses and way of life.Then if you want some more adventures, trek to the very...
Its a must: Walk on the terraces
arni_ph075 Says: Its a must that you walk on the rice terraces, its really an amazing experience, and also dangerous as the paddies are very small and you could easily slip.You will also be meeting the farmers of Batad, planting or harvesting rice, and the oldies, they all speak fluent...
Simon's View Inn and Restaurant: Food Fresh from the Kitchen
pres_16 Says: Has a terrace for good viewing of the rice terraces and the sorrounding mountains. Food is basic but nice.... Open 6AM to 10PM, order dinner before 8PM... I tried my favorite vegetable omelet with rice...
jayjayc Says: -There are jeepneys at Autobus terminal in Banaue waiting for passengers bound for Batad.-Once the bus arrives at the terminal, lots of locals offer transport from Banaue to Batad.-Jeepneys will not bring you to Batad Village but up to only where cars are allowed. Then,...
izsak02 Says: Purchase your bus ticket to Banaue in advance. Go to Autobus terminal (between University of Sto. Thomas and McD on Espana) or Florida bus station (corner of Espana and Lacson). Ticket was P464/p(April 2007), and buses leave every 10pm for a 9hr overnight bumpy ride. A/C on...
Nhess Says: From Manila, take the Victory Liner bus in Kamuning, Quezon City bound for Banaue, a single trip that leaves at 10:45 p.m. daily. it's an 8-9 hour bus ride with three short stop-overs for the passengers to eat, buy some foods or go to the comfort room. About 7:00 a.m. the...

While trekking to Tappiya Falls
thomyorke Says: there are private lands that you have to use along the way to the falls. so make sure you say 'excuse me' or 'makikiraan' in tagalog. i use the dialect which sounds like Lu-me-u-a-mi [sorry don't know the spelling. but when i speak, they seem to understand.
yeyet Says: we went to batad last weekend. we tried asking for information from the tourist center in banaue. they were charging us P2100 for the guide and the transportation to and from banaue. fortunately we decided to go to sagada first and met some really nice people who taught us...
Not a very good practice at Pat-yay
francis0927 Says: Recently I learned that the local council at Pat-yay decided to charge "Tourists Fee" to strangers even just passing by their village. The cost is about P100 ($2) or so PER PERSON. It may not be much for foreigners - but this is not a very good practice that visitors should...
Nhess Says: If you plan to stay overnight or more, bring a lightweight backpack that is just enough for your clothes and other important things. You can wear sneakers or rubber sandals, jacket, light clothes and light pants so it won't be heavy to carry on your bag. If possible don't...

Batad Village and the Tappiya Falls
Batad Village is one of my favorite destinations in the Philippines. It's very quiet place. But you have to trek at least an hour and a half to get to the village.
