Hello Steemit friends! This travel blog is all about Benguet
Benguet is a mountainous province in the northern part of the Philippines. It has many tourist-friendly towns and one cannot run out of things to do here. From trekking to spelunking, and from studying culture to simply being an ol' foodie, Benguet has a lot to offer. As I have mentioned in my past post, our destination to Benguet was the less traveled part Kabayan town, which in its own right have many unique things to offer. Going there, we were greeted with breath-taking scenery, which is why I decided to dedicate this travel blog to provide some justice.^^
In the relatively low-altitude parts of Benguet, you will be greeted with picturesque view of mountain valleys with large swath of river basins, like this view in Bokol, Benguet (see also the photo above):
Travelling up further, the temperature becomes colder, the mountains become bigger and the fog becomes thicker.
Aside from tourism, the main source of living is producing various root crops and vegetables. It is common to see terrace-type fields here.
There's really a certain charm that only mountainous regions can provide. The rustic charm, cold breeze, rugged terrains and unique plants. Perfect!
And at night, it really makes you feel that you are in a plane wherein you can soar to the skies without taking away the sensation of being able to walk the earth at the same time.
What do you love about the mountains? Let me know! :)
