I had a write-up about our hike in Mt. Naupa in 2017, but then that domain was deleted, so I am starting over.

This is my first hike in 2017 in Cebu, and I never thought that from here it birthed a beautiful start of friendship and a love for climbing. I went with Katkat Da Laag (KALAG) group during one of their thanksgiving events in Naupa. The event was in Brgy. Cantao-an, and it’s on the other side of the usual jump-off going to Naupa.
Anyway, the thanksgiving event went well, the group has fun & games for the kiddos and giving of relief goods to the adults. We had our boodle fight in the chapel and after which, we started our trek to Mt. Naupa.

My memory of KALAG’s Thanksgiving in 2017.

In the afternoon, after our outreach, we went to Mt. Naupa. It’s not the usual trail since we started in Cantao-an. Everyone was pretty excited to be in Naupa, however in the middle of the trail no on seemed to know which path to take. 🙂 In short, nawala mi kadali. 🙂 But in the end, we managed to guess the right trail. Fun as they say.
