About Bangaan

---

Pronunciation
bahn-NAH-ahn

Setting
Bangaan, like Batad, has an amphitheater-shaped rice terrace slope, though on a less grand scale.

Easier to visit than Batad
I recommend Bangaan to travelers who are unable to visit Batad because of time or fitness limitations. Bangaan is also a must-see for those who have been to Batad.

Best photo vantage
It is from the road, just before you reach Bangaan (see my photo).

Final leg
It's an easy 15-minute hike from the road down to the Bangaan village.

Accommodations
Local, basic lodging is available. Or, you can visit Bangaan as a daytrip from Banaue.

The cold mountain-spring pool is a refreshing dip on hot-humid days.
