The last time I did Tarak is back in 2011, back then it is in my head as one of my favorite hike. And, on my 3rd visit to Mt. Tarak, I reunited with my hiker cousins, Rodnie and Reynald.
We began the hike around 3:00 pm - and the sun is still out. The weather is pretty good, and the trail itself is well shaded. It starts out slow and kind of flat before you get to the actual base of the mountain which starts from Nanay Cording's house, and from there it gets steeper.
The advantage of hiking late in the afternoon was the temperature. It was still relatively warm at 4:30-5, but not unbearably hot. In total, it took us 4 hours to hike up to the summit.
The trail is not a peaceful getaway like I was hoping for, but it has some beautiful views. There were a lot of people at the ridge and it almost felt like there's a party. I enjoy hiking to get away from the buzz of the metro, so I would recommend some less traveled hikes if serenity is what you are looking for.
