Surviving Philippines MOST EXTREME Mountains! Rocky Rice Terraces (Tacadang, Benguet)
HTML-код

- SURVIVING PHILIPPINES MOST EXTREME MOUNTAINS IS NOT EASY.
But these amazing humans have managed it.
Atop the rocky mounds of Tacadang, part of Kibungan in Benguet, in a landscape that reminds me of Machu Picchu, are rice terraces built over 100 years ago.
The road getting here is new and rough (but better than trekking a steep uphill for 6 hours!) and the view phenomenal.
Visiting the rice terraces, I was amazed by the hard work that goes into repairing them, the hospitable culture, and the final steep climb to a burial cave...
What an adventure this was.

My dad grew up there in Kibungan and I heard him before talking about Tacadang and never thought it was really a majestic place. I lived here in the US for over two decades and wanting to visit there when I get back because I’ve Never visited my dad’s birthplace. Thank you for sharing this awesome travel videos.
Truly majestic!
Sumaa ka madam sir ta engka iliwen nan ili tako ya toton od mo
You have come a long way in your RUclips adventure. I have complimented you before, but your video's are like mini documentaries. I am so tired of the travel vlogger video's of the PI. It is really great seeing your off-the-beaten-path video's. Much more interesting, with a production that is more organic and appealing than a History, Discovery, or Nat Geo show. No BS, great job!
Salamat ti kaadam nga mang ie share ti pintas ti Probinsya ti Benguet. ,sapay kuma ta makaited met kenka ti ragsak ken salun-at ,talna ti puso ken panunot..,take care always and 'GOD bless..😃
Thanks for the shout out brother, ridesafe always. 🤜🤛
Love your adventures brother, ride safe!
J4 in the house😂😂😂😂 😆
A good life perspective from the local guy fixing the rice field..happiness depends on you, "if you make your life happy then you will be happy"
You never fail to amaze us with your superb documentary/video. Once again your aerial shots are outstanding. The mountains are breathtaking and majestic. I have to watch your vlog several times to appreciate the views. Thanks for showing the world the beauty of the Philippines and allowing us to appreciate our fellow Filipinos in Benguet who strive to preserve the culture and centuries old tradition of building and farming on terraces. This is one of your best vlog. More power to you. We appreciate and support you.
Majestic... Plus great musical scoring... Its a National Geographic and adventure movie
Filipinos are hardworking, hospitable, happy people and speak English fluently. The mountains are breathtaking. Thanks KD.
KD, you’ve brought us to a part of our great country that we have never been and know existed. Breath taking and enough to make you proud of being a Filipino. God bless you more as you bring us more information about our roots and culture as a nation. Safe travels to you
nothing beats brewed coffee 😁ayeeeee makapaawis 🤩Thank you for showing us these aerial views.... amazing amazing footage.... 😍
Watching this video gave me goobumps. I imagined the Cordillerans making these trraces in order to plant food for their survival. Gallons of blood , sweat and tears. More so when you mentioned macchu picchu. The builders were excellent engineers & architects .
Wowww!!Just woww! Salamat Kumander Daot for showing us the beauty of Tacadang. Honestly, even if Im from Kapangan,I have no idea how Tacadang looks like. All we know is that it's very far and the road is very difficult. It's indeed the Machu Picchu of Benguet. So grateful and much respect for you KD. Ingat as always👍😊 Matagutago ka!!
Truly one of the most amazing places I've ever been!
lucky for you kumander daot you visited tacadang I am from Kibungan but Afraid to go in that place because according to my classmates you must hike 8mountains before reaching the place but when I saw yor adventures in that place its like I also went there thanks a lot kumander I appreciate your adventure in tacadang
I just love the beauty of the Philippines, my country of birth. The people and culture are one of the best in the world.
Kumander Daot, you are a very good story teller. You describe your travels like as if I’m there too. You inspire me to go to the places you visited and experience the beauty of the place. I hope the tourism office will continue to hire you to show their community to the whole world. Padayon KD!!!
So beautiful... Heaven like
Inviting to visit more the outskirts of the country
Inspiring work of hands
And they are very articulate
❤❤❤
Kumander Daot raises the bar once again. Incredible! Incredible! Thank you.
Tough life but we are still happy enjoy life to the fullest God bless us all.
Breath taking scenery plus powerful telling stories about the community, it gives me goosebumps! I used to live in Kapangan when I was a kid but I’ve never known such amazing place. Thanks to your very informative vlogs KD!🤝🤝👏🏻👏🏻
"when you wake up, you're at peace" You had me there. Thats definitely what we want. 👉🏾No one really does it like you do KD. It's like the whole KD community is with you on each travel. the storytelling is just superb and IT'S REAL.
Thank you Crazy for taking us to a place where millions dream of going but only few actually do.
Thank you for going back to our igorot country.... Its as do you brought us to home... Take care always .. God bless..
The beginning of the Cordillera Hymn says:
Caddled by majestic mountains,
Blest with nature's flowing fountains
Blowing flow’rs and verdant hills
Is a region of murm’ring rills.
Cordillera, region of wonder hail.
Salute to you. Kumander you did an Amazing job for me. We Filipino are so happy that you did this for us to show how beautiful Philippines is. Thankyou for your efforts and waiting that our government in the Philippines recognize your work. ❤❤❤
Kummander delivers every time!
I have been there in Tacadang after a few days of hiking, aside from Banaue and Batad rice terraces, Tacadang has the most beautiful rice terraces. it's not easy to go there. good that they are making roads up there.
They have their own unique beauty, that's for sure 😁
Not just a regular travel vlog but a really excellent documentary. Spectacular drone shots with entertaining and informative narration.
damn, that place looks old, ancient even. hopefully more recognition will come so more support will pour in on protecting the area. it's gorgeous.
also surprisingly the older pips can converse in English well enough na very remote na nila. amazing
Kumander you are truly an explorer! Thats a scary place to go and its breathtaking!
Thanks KD for taking us to a remote and amazing place of my birth country that I never going to see it personally because of age (71) and residence distance. I was born in the Ilocos South China sea coastal area now resides in the US.
@LeslieAmdono Please try to learn your geography before you make a comment. Google map named the body of water west of Luzon, SOUTH CHINA SEA. PHILIPPINE SEA is the body of water east of Luzon. You can verify it yourself. Open your Google Map. Thank you.🤣🤣🤣
Wow, these highland farmers are hard workers - I think all farmers are - and they speak English. My students in the lowlands can't even complete one English sentence.
Wow beautiful Benguet. Thank you Kumander
You went to Crying Mountain high but it's El Nino so the mountain is not crying. I'm impressed that you're energy drink in hiking is a Kwatro Kantos.
I'm very proud of having an igorot wife. Very beautiful and hard working woman she's from mankayan and I'm from leyte. Through marriage i am igorot now. And proud to be one.
Thank you sir,,,welcome to igorot trbes
Very nice. I don’t see the old guys from the provincial tourism ( Brian and Felix). This is very powerful and very moving.
I saw Brian and Felix at the office! They're doing great too!
Kumander Daot, I have been enjoying your adventures here in Florida. I appreciate your sharing magnificent beauty of Philippines, quite amazing views of rice terraces and how risky to get to your destination with the terrain. Thank you for tourism crew who helped, too.
Kudos to great hospitality of people and sharing their livelihood. Be careful as always and stay safe!
Thank you for your great work! 👍👍🇵🇭👍🇵🇭
My goodness my country should reward you! You can be the Sir David Attenborough of the Philippines! Thank you for showcasing the Philippines! God bless you and family!
