Ifugao Province is best known for the Banaue Rice Terraces, one of the most recognizable landmarks of the Philippines. Though, many seasoned travelers can attest that the best view of the ampitheatre-like rice terraces isn’t actually in Banaue town but in nearby Batad. It would be great to explore both areas to see which has a better view for yourself and also go on a hunt to find out the exact view where the Banaue Rice Terraces in the backside of the PHP1,000 bill was painted. Here’s a helpful list of links when planning on visiting Batad town in Ifugao, Philippines.

Ambot-ah is a blog about my life as a travel blogger, nurse, and freelance photographer. After my college graduation, I decided to make a living out of blogging and live out my many passions. Join me on my travels around the Philippines and South East Asia. Read my helpful backpacking journals, budget travel trips, do-it-yourself itineraries, blogging pursuits (making money online), and photography tips. 
yey! this is exciting! :)
just got back from a banaue-bontoc-sagada trip, it was tiring but fun. i used the links you published here by the way.
hope you’ll have fun yourself!
wow. good for you. I’ve only visited Banaue due to my limited time. I’m hoping I could do a Baguio – Sagada trip next time.
that’s cool.
sagada really is a must see place.
sulit na sulit ang gastos.
baguio to sagada is a good 4 hour trip.
there was a hailstorm when we left bomod-ok falls and i also got sunburn all on the same day.
hope you’ll have time to go there soon!
can’t say enough to thank you for your links here.
It’s so near pala. Same experience with us minus the hailstorm … it’s so hot outside, such a pain to be traveling this time of year. BTW, I’ve started to post about my trip to Banaue here: http://www.ambot-ah.com/2010/05/12/banaue-rice-terraces-still-breathtaking-as-ever/
saw your pictures.
hmmm. where are you keeping your other pictures?
:D
I upload and host most of my photos in my flickr account. You can check it our here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/iloilocity/
saw them pics.
love them.
if by any chance you’ll happen to visit Manila again, try to go to Salcedo Market in Makati.
it’s open every Saturday only, stalls selling veggies open as early as 4am and stalls selling food open as early as 6am, all stalls close at 2pm.
it’s a smörgåsbord of flavors.
there’s also one in Ortigas named Banchetto, but it opens from Friday 8pm until Saturday morning.
I noticed you appreciate good food.
:D
