How to Go there
Going to Anawangin is easy, you can ride a Victory Liner bus at Edsa pasay going to Olongapo and from Olongapo you can then ride a non aircon bus going to San Antonio, Zambales.

Batulao is located in Batangas town of Nasugbu. Refreshments are available at camp 1 and camp 6. Halohalo and other refreshments are also available in some part of the trail.

Wear protective clothing, the hike in the open field would probably cause you sunburn, sunblock is a plus factor in this trek. Wear hiking shoes, the hike from camp 7 to 10 is the hardest part of this trek, in sunny day the trail from camp 7 - 8 is very slippery because of the unsettled soil and dirt.
