[georgex]

hi all, I heard that Banaue Rice Terraces is a wonderful place and I've always wanted to visit it during my Philippines trip, but haven't done yet. my next trip is in November and this time i well planned to go to Banaue Rice Terraces, but wondering how to get into from Manila, my work is at Manila for 2 days, so does anyone know how to get into it from from Manila and how far is it? are there any public transportation available? any help would be appreciated:) - thanks.

Banaue rice terraces is quite far away from Manila, may be it would take around 8 to 9 hours travel, but it's worth to visit. Banaue rice terraces is an awesome place and no one should miss it during the Philippines tour. As far as I know, the most convenient way to reach Banaue rice terraces from Manila is by bus and buses run daily. They start at 10PM at Manila and reach Banaue at 6 or 7AM.The bus trip will pass by Nueva Vizcaya, Bayombong, Solano and Bambang. This amazing Banaue rice terraces are found in the Cordilleras mountains. hope this helps!
