Treasure Mountain in Tanay, Rizal is a perfect mountain destination for beginners. A breath taking view that would probably fascinates all the individuals who wants to witness the amazing sea of clouds. Just 2-3 hrs away from Metro Manila.
I suggest that you should spend your night at their camp site and wait for the sea of clouds to appear in the morning. Surely you won’t regret sacrificing for a day just to see how beautiful and relaxing view awaits you.
