Great trekking experience! 10/10 would recommend visiting when you go to Sagada. There's quite a bit of stairs, but the path is clear and paved. You'll need a guide to be able to enter and walk to the coffins, but it is very worth it. It's interesting to learn about their culture and the story behind the hanging coffins.

Make sure to wear comfortable clothes and shoes when going here especially during rainy/cold season since the steps could get slippery. The steps are a bit hard. Not for people with mobility issues. The place is great and being immersed on the locals culture makes the hike worth it. The pathways could be improved though.

The impressive parts of this attraction are the hanging coffins themselves. They are creepy, but in a serene and peaceful way. But the more I think about it, the more I admire the process of how they actually implemented this. Wow. Truly a wonder.

It was soooo hard but refreshing to climb 😌 it took me an hour to reach the coffins but I think it is just because I lack exercise. It took us about 8 mins to enter as our tour guide was running a bit late.

A nice short walk at few distance of Sagada city center. Of course you need to have registrated before at the city. Then, with the local guide, you can enter. We presented an e copy and they accepted. The walk itself is rather easy except some big steps at the end. Worth seeing in the morning for a peace energy ☮

The hanging coffins provide a glimpse into the burial customs of the native people of Sagada. We first passed through the modern cemetery erected on top of the mountain. The view up top provided a view of the unique rock formations scattered atop the landscape. We eventually descended 200 meters down the stairs and walked to the edge of a cliff, coming face to face with the hanging coffins. The coffins were unusually small, as if it only contained half of the body. The local guide explained that the corpses were actually situated into a fetal position before being enclosed in the coffin. They believed that one should leave life the way they entered it. It was a very interesting look into the culture still present and thriving in this mountainous region.

Cool place to visit. But try to avoid the weekend as there are a lot of tourists Friday-sunday. You need to walk with a guide for a small fee. Possible to find at the entrance. Also small park fee. Guide job is mostly just taking you there and back as you are not allowed to walk independently. And to make sure tourists don't destroy & disrespect this place.
