aEMY'S WANDERLUST
"the gladdest moment in human life is the departure to unknown lands"
14/7/2016 0 Comments My Kapangan SideTripAs per wikipedia, Kapangangan is the fourth class municipality in the province of Benguet in Cordillera. According to 2010 census, it only has 20. 084 locals. My side trip in Kapangan was only out of nosiness when I have tasted a very strong Kapangan coffee in one of a newly opened coffee shop in Baguio City. I thought the coffee was named from a particular person only to find out from a friend that Kapangan is actually one of the town in the Cordillera province. From there, a day trip was planned hoping that there will be a beautiful scenery I would see myself. Though Kapangan is not as developed as La Trinidad and Baguio City, I recommend this place to those who loves riding a big bike or simply to those who are nature lovers because of its scenic view. I remember visiting the place the time I almost gave up my Dent school; and somehow, it enlightened me when I went home after I reached a certain view deck that I literally almost touched the clouds. Yes, I "almost" touched the sky which uplifted somehow my spirit that I shouldn't give up on my dreams. That like my Kapangan journey, it may take a long and bumpy ride to reach a certain destination but in the end, it's all worth it. HOW TO GET IN KAPANGAN:
From Baguio City: 1. Go in Dangwa Station, look for the public utility jeep going to Kapangan. The fare cost is Php40. I highly suggest to take the first trip because ideally, you can reach Kapangan (by private ride) for only 30minutes but because of the 2 jeepney stops, it will take 2 hours before you arrived. 2. There are no ATMs in the area so if you are planning an overnight, better bring some cash and the only transient house where you can stay in Kapangan would be in the Avong House (Php200/head/night ) 3.Last trip of the jeep is at 3PM if you are planning a day trip 4.Once you are already in the Kapangan town, you may hire a tricycle going to the viewdeck, the place where I almost "touched" the sky. Trike fee ranges from Php120 to Php200. Happy Viewing beautiful people :)
