I have once said to my female travel mate: "let us find the lifestyle of our indigenous individuals and have a laidback end of the week in the mountain". Never did we expect that a large portion of the voyagers going to Batad are Europeans! An absolutely "nose drain" situation for the two us. This term is a filipino slang which implies it's difficult for us to talk straight english discussion with our kindred voyagers for two back to back days amid our end of the week trip! Regardless of the difficulties, we mingled a ton and gain some new useful knowledge about their way of life and their nations
Philippine social books never neglect to specify the well known rice patios of Cordillera. In different travel blog locales, Batad is frequently adulated for its lofty perspective of "green staircases", worked along the mountain extend by the indigenous individuals a great many years back.

I have picked Batad as my neighborhood schedule for the end of the week to split far from my standard shoreline get-away. Site photographs of Batad rice patios preceding my visit persuaded that one could without much of a stretch go first floor and upstairs of the rice porches. In any case, when I set foot in Batad, the stairs were around 10 feet high and the divider establishments were made of enormous stones! The photos may cheat you; it's anything but a simple trek on the rice field.

The trek to Tappiya Falls is the most energizing action amid our stay in Batad.
