Sagada, Mountain Province Part 3: Conquering the beautiful Bomod-ok Falls

Sagada has three main waterfalls attractions and they consist of the Bomod-Ok Falls, Pongas Falls, and Bokong Falls. Our limited time on the other hand only allowed us to visit Bomod-ok, which is two kilometers away from the primary assembly place.

We were told that going to Bomod-ok Falls is very easy, but this is also accompanied by a fair warning that returning will be quite the challenge. As it turns out, going to Bomod-ok is literally all downhill; of course, expect to take the same route going back, which is all... uphill (you got that right 😀)

[BELOW] Our tour guide explained that this rustic bridge is not just there to cross the river. It's actually an access to another small community on the otherside of the mountain. 




Most of the hills and mountains in Sagada are utilized as agricultural land, hence the cultivation of crops in its rice terraces.

Healthy suggestion:

No matter how hot the temperature is during your hike to Bomod-ok waterfalls, DO NOT immediately soak on the cold, chilly water. Allow yourself to cool down before taking the dip.

Even at high noon, the water's temperature is ridiculously cold. It's recommended to "test the waters" before indulging. (Don't say we didn't warn you).
