📜✏️ Tips/Reminders:

📌Mt. 387 is also known as Batong Amat.

📌The hike to the summit takes about 1.5 – 2 hours depending on your pace. It will take another 2 – 3 hours to traverse this mountain to reach Aloha Falls.

📌Doing the backtrail is advisable for beginners but traversing Mt. 387 to get to the falls is not recommended for first-timers.

📌Bring enough hydration since most of the trail is exposed to the sun. The only water source could be found near Aloha Falls.

📌Always check the weather first before scaling Batong Amat. Expect rain during monsoon season (June-February).

📌Contact Sir Roy Manuzon in advance if you will be hiking Mt. 387 so he could arrange the guide/s for you.
