Sandari Forest Trekking Adventure for Summer
Sprawled near the famed Mount Batulao, the Sandari Forest Reserve is home to a variety of plant species, ranging from low-lying shrubs to gigantic, century-old trees. These include imposing and magnificent Balete trees and the very useful Banaba, which boasts numerous medicinal benefits, such as treatment for diabetes and weight management. Flowering plants and fruit-bearing trees are interspersed in the high-density growth of greens, providing color, diversity, and beauty to Sandari’s ecosystem.

Aside from its aesthetic merits, this lush forest also contributes to Sandari Batulao’s cool climate. This, coupled with the property’s proximity to Nasugbu Bay, assures that Sandari Batulao is blessed with a refreshing, gentle breeze the whole year round.
After the forest adventure, participants can also go on a food trip with authentic Asian flavors at Bawai’s Vietnamese Kusina, located inside Sandari Batulao. Or they may choose to have a cozy family picnic at the View Deck, where they can enjoy their hearty lunch under the picnic tents while gazing at the picturesque view of Mt. Batulao. Adventurous ones can sample the more economical home-cooked Batangas fare at the roadside eateries near the Evercrest Golf Course and along the Tagaytay-Nasugbu Tourism Highway.
