Hello everyone here in the hive community! How have you been? I really feel so inspired everytime I look at your post and sharings about your life and travel journey! It really makes me feel that I really do need to pursue and come out my traveling skills personality (hahaha) I will keep on posting my life diaries as long as im seeing all your inspirational post!
I already tour all of you to some beach resort and restaurant, botanical gardens and now let me take you to a hidden river! Yes you heard it right a hidden river (it was considered as a hidden river since only a few people knew about the river before it was discovered by many ,only few residents near the place where trying to enjoy its beauty). But now Masaba river where already known and visited by many not just the locals near the area.
Some locals calls it “Mangasang Falls” (Pronunciation: Mang-Ga-Sang and others calls it “Managsanga” but it was famous for its name as “Masaba”
Masaba River is already known for its breathtaking view and its natural surroundings. Everything that you can see in the river are natural. The locals are still trying to maintain its natural surrounding, they did not build any man-made facilities.
The Masaba River is open for everyone. It’s like a public river where anyone can visit. They do not offer any fees for the visitors. Up until now the river is still own by the local barangay in Tagba-o.
Who can go there?:
The Masaba River is open for everyone. But all the visitors are advised to be responsible enough because this is not officially a tourist spot or destination for travelers. Most of the visitors who visited the river are the people who knows someone who lives near the area.
There are campers who visits Masaba River but as they said that they need to passed by in their barangay gym to register their visit if you are not a local resident in the area. The visitors who are not a resident are advised to bring with you a professional tour guide since the place has steep areas that needs proper guidance.
Do’s and don’ts in visiting the River:
The Masaba River is a natural area. There is no man-made built facilities for the visitors needs. The reason why all are advised to always be responsible and maintain its natural being. Always bring with you your trash and please do pick up any trash that you will see for the safety of everyone. There is no trash bins in the area.
If you are not a resident, or do not have any idea or knowledge about the place, you are advised to bring a professional tour guide to guide you all the way.
Always be mindful of your surrounding.
Wear an appropriate clothing like water shoes, waterproof bag and lightweight clothes. Bring any protection from the sun since its an open area.
The main activity there is trekking and some mountain climbing, so if you are not feeling well its better to be fit first before planning.
Have with you your appropriate gears.
Respect the local residents and the nature.
Just enjoy the view, the flowing water, the nature, forget all your problems and negativities.
The Masaba River is quite wide as you thought. To tell you honestly I visited it twice already but still haven’t explored its whole beauty because I guarantee you that you will enjoy every spot in the river and you will feel like you don’t want to go home anymore (that’s what I keep on telling on myself everytime I visit the river hahaha) 😅
You will be amazed of its beauty, the breathtaking view and sceneries and most especially the sounds of the flowing water will really calms you.
It’s the best place if you want to unwind and release all your problems.
As I do believe that “nature is my therapy”
Hope you enjoyed our little trip! Stay tuned for our next trip!
Always take care and just smile!
Love, from zel-diaries💜
