Finding The LOST CITY Of Benguet?! Philippines Back Road Adventure (Cordilleras E11)

DID I JUST FIND A LOST CITY IN BENGUET?
It's the last day of my adventures in the exciting Philippine Cordilleras! And today we're taking a back road from Buguias all the way to La Trinidad and Baguio.
We don't spend long in Bakun, unfortunately, before moving on to the 10 minute mountain! Only legends know!

Now I come to realize that indeed the Philippines is a very beautiful country with its natural beauty like the mountain ranges, the thousands of islands, lots of caves and beaches and unrivaled hospitality of the people that you cannot experience anywhere in the world. Thanks KD for showing us even Filipinos and other people anywhere in the world these amazing wonders of the Philippines!!!

[@johnblenkiron5126]

You have virtually captured the mystical nature of the Benguet area with your awesome camera work and narration. It is a Shangri-La with the natural beauty of ancient volcanic peaks, sculpted hillside gardens that reflect centuries of communal labor, and villages on the ridges like eagles' nests or clustered in the deep valleys from times before the first roads snaked through this paradise. Another tour de force. Thank you.

[@philiprms]

Congratulations 👏 on your special citation in the Benguet social media influencers awards 2023 - well deserved.

[@vergellayao7689]

Congratulations! A well-deserved recognition

[@ohyeahtv4715]

Well done 🎉congratulations kumander daot 🎉🎉🎉

[@user-mz4ce2rm9z]

Was there a video about this special citation in Benguet, I am sorry that I missed it but congratulations, well deserved, KD deserves more recognition!!!!

[@Cow_Juice]

Thank you KD for taking the time to feature La Trinidad and the other municipalities of Benguet. I find that most vloggers either just skip by it or merely make mention of them while on their way to other places, without taking much time to present it in a cinematic way like you do. Glad you enjoyed your trip across the diverse, unique and unmatched places that comprise the Cordillera region; that you were able to present the rich culture and heritage of each of places you visited; and: that you got to experinece the warmth and hospitality of the Cordilleran people. May your travels be many and your journeys be blessed. More power and good health to you, good sir.

[@janicepacio156]

i saw you received recognition from the province of Benguet when i watched Battle of the bands via live on facebook. Too bad, i wasnt there to see u in person 🤗

[@Braven_Aj]

Wow, astonishing..amazing thanks for featuring Benguet-my home town-lovely and glad Twas sunny day-beautiful places indeed

[@alingisang179]

[@gaufrid1956]

Maganda talaga na ang mga bundok sa Benguet Kumander! Mahirap na ang bakas nga bundok!

[@christopherturco197]

So sad to see your visit to the Cordilleras come to an end, Kumander.😢 How did you not constantly stop every 100 meters with all those spectacular views? This series of vlogs has been a visual feast, especially with your drone shots and your excellent camera work. When I first read the sign for your "10 minute" hike I thought it said Mt. Kilikili! 4:45 Just imagine, Mt. Armpit! 😆🤪🤣 That hike would really stink.

[@bemcorrales5358]

Grabe! Ang ganda s Cordillera KD. Keep safe and God bless you 🙏 😊🙌🍀👍

[@famecuyahon]

There are 3 caves you passed by. 1 in Beleng-belis, Kapangan and 2 in Tublay. There is also a big coffee kettle in Ambassador, Tublay, Benguet you should have visited.

[@igorotananny5196]

Yayy! Tenkyo KD for showing the whole world the beauty of Cordillera, proud of Bakun Benguet here🙏❤

Amazing captures!!! Spectacular views of Benguet I've never seen before.

[@annabelleinfantado1624]

Great one, KD so nice....

[@AkilezNewEngland]

It's hard to comment on your vlogs when People who contradict their own Kababayans about Ifugao or Mountain Province history some young Filipinos never really research the history of Mountain Province. Don't mind me. Enjoy your Adventure. God Bless and Love You Man!❤

[@marivicbadua2791]

Ohhh our beloved Bakun ❤❤❤ thanks kumander Daot for visiting our promoting our place

[@wilinordumo7745]

Thank you for sharing this videos I get to see this part of my province I'm from Benguet but I've never been to those Municipalities so beautiful ❤

[@mertsbelmes3209]

Magnificent scenery but wondering why not many were inspired to paint them?! One of this days you might find me doing plein air painting or sketching in these majestic beauties, thanks Kumander for opening our jaded eyes.

[@josejrplaza8830]

Keep moving Kumander Daot.

[@Bomer-Bomer]

[@jenniferpitas3782]

Buguias the roots of my father. Proud Benguet girl here ❤

[@carolinekepes7953]

[@b-lopez394]

Don't worry Kumander, 5:41 You are being help by Philip Ahn as Master Kan in the Kung Fu TV series in the US back in the '70🙂.

[@fredsvocal]

Stunning view!!

[@cathyjones1989]

Wow! Stunning views on top of the mountain! Keep doing what you love!! Thank you for sharing Kumander.

[@willgada8790]

Felix still looks young. Nice.

[@jinggeorpames3273]

Hope all mountainous area in the Philippines have that kind of roads for transporting agricultural pdts so accessible to the market. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@marclopez9834]

Wow, my place Kumander. Thank you.

[@BongiePilapilMacas]

Thank you KD❤

[@binca4439]

The incomparable & stunning Mt.Province!!! The unmatched & unrivalled presentation of KD is above and beyond vlogging… Thanks KD ..

[@Cow_Juice]

Just a slight correction, this part of his series is in Benguet Province which is a separate and distinct from the Mountain Province. But you are definitely correct. The sights, sounds and cultural diversity, throughout the Cordillera Administrative Region and it's constituent provinces of Abra, Apayao, Benguet, Ifugao, Kalinga and the Mountain Province are incomparable and each have their own equally distinctive charm. 😃👍

[@ntpalasi7202]

It's Benguet. A separate province from Mt. Province.

[@floranteguron3513]

Awesome docuvlog, KD. The lost city, the crying mountain side, the locals, and the food that looks delicious are unparalleled, to say the least. The 10-minute hike was hilarious... u were running out of breath, lol. See u in the low lands, sir Anselm!...

[@azph4105]

I suggest you make use of youtube shorts and upload less than a minute video clips of your videos then links to the full version. Just the highlights. Your subscribers will increase faster.

[@kevinnashskitchen3517]

Glad you enjoyed the mountains.. We enjoyed your views too.✌

[@user-mz4ce2rm9z]

One of your best vlog so far with beautiful drone shots, you really captured the magnificent landscape and and the green terraces!!! Wow, KD, you are simply the Best,❤❤❤❤❤🤪🤪🤪🥲🤪🤪🤪💕💕💕💕💕🤟

[@gg_Javier]

Because of your vlogs, Anselm/KD, I've seen places I would never have ventured otherwise. In my beloved Motherland. ❤ Your Tour Guide Felix was an excellent travel partner for you -- humor and all. Thank you to you both! ... btw: Shipping less necessary items back to Davao via LBC is a very smart move and a good tip for travelers. It lightens the bike load on the way back home, plus no excuses for skimping on pasalubongs and souvenirs. 😁 😍

[@MikeZee83]

Looks like you really love the mountain province kumander..I can’t blame you it is really gorgeous there❤

[@sonbeke3764]

he just wanted cool air maybe,or just to escape the heat from the lowlands for a moment.

[@Cow_Juice]

Just a little bit of a correction. This part of the series is in Benguet Province. The Mountain Province is a separate and distinct province. But like I mentioned in one of my comments, each one of the provinces he has traversed, throughout the Cordillera Administrative Region, are equally captivating and stunning in their own right. 😃👍

[@kevinnashskitchen3517]

Man.. You better keep an eye on those brake pads brother😂

[@corazonbatonan2025]

Kumander Daot ,Thank So Much for the documentary of the cordillera Particulary Buguias and Bakun.

[@kevinnashskitchen3517]

Really a good time to be there. It could rain so much more. Very cool trip. I'm so jealous

[@minervatolentino1368]

fantastic views! thanka to thanks to your local guide.

[@acquisitium]

and everytime you fall for it. they say 10 minute hike and u go along with it.....

[@tinaraphael9783]

I'm surprise you're able to climb those mountains KD fantastic you've made it to the top.

[@DallasCarr-1]

Minute man meets his fate on the 20 minute workout...

[@hildleotan]

have a road trip also in Itogon Benguet.

[@BabycakesTravels]

I am in total awe of my own country that I didn't get to explore I wish I can just go ride a motorcycle and travel around the Philippines 🥰 Thank you Kumander D for taking me with you

[@yllen6152]

REALY BEAUTIFUL BENGUET, BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE, THERE IS PEACE.

[@sharonlingalingyoutubechan2167]

Try to visit also Kibungan Municipality. maybe you see the beauty on it,the mountains maybe you cannot do it,because the mountains is rocky😊😊😊

[@drunkenmaster124]

Watching your vlog and the way you narrate things is like watching wild life by Sir David Attenborough it’s so relaxing 😉 keep up the good work lad..🙌

[@baitristan]

Nice vlog kumander.

[@roseacang7298]

Woww beautiful place❤❤

[@sonrhose833]

As of now, i'm now on tour just like you. From la union to baguio, sagada, bontoc, tabuk, isabela.

[@PeteEvangelista]

Amazing travels, Kumander. You are enjoying the time of your life. Congratulations.

[@gerardpadua1980]

Stunning Benguet Province, thanks Kumander🙏 Thanks for pointing it down below🤙

[@Cow_Juice]

A little bit of correction, this part of the series is in Benguet Province. The Mountain Province is a totally different province. Agreed though that every part of the places he has visited, throughout the Cordillera Administrative Region, has its own charm and are all equally stunning. 😃👍

[@arnoldeveretteguay5320]

Benguet province hndi mt. Province.

[@arnoldeveretteguay5320]

Igorot region or the cordillera region is composed of 6 provinces with 2 cities. The Mt province, Ifugao, Benguet, Abra, kalinga, Apayao. With Baguio city in benguet and Tabuk city in Kalinga.

[@maeshandicrafts7543]

My hometown bakun

[@akotosonimoto9592]

3:47 Like US's Mount Rushmore. I wonder whose face they gonna carve into those rocks in the future. Kumander's😛

[@diDaN75]

Wow! The roads are pretty tight and narrow, with hairpin curves that are very challenging to maneuver. Going uphill is tough; I don't think I can manage it for only 10 minutes rest and continue. Hahaha

[@BongiePilapilMacas]

You are so blessed to have the energy to drive and climb ❤😂❤

[@enricolegados8386]

Philippines is the most beautiful country in the world when it come's to natural views, very important to tourist experience the outer place of Manila so you feel the real paradise.

[@arnoldeveretteguay5320]

Igorot region or the cordillera is amazing and spectacular to tour.

[@OurSimpleCreation]

I have been watching you and Kulas and Jandee's😀 new vlog.👍

[@gericornista8133]

A place we never knew existed indeed! A lost city like the Lost Horizon!

[@darrellbrixey5341]

Awesome video Kumander

[@sansui0621]

[@mariadakila]

Thank you so much for showcasing the beauty of my hometown Bakun.

[@BongiePilapilMacas]

Hahaha Danao paltiks😂

[@furiousrose1011]

Its a trick people from the provinces usually "tricks" us city dwellers 😄 I never trust them whenever I ask for direction and they say "malapit lang" "dyan lang"

[@genadefrancisco611]

😂😂😂

[@clydeseaside345]

And once again fantastic----I must admit I may have had a mild heart attack on that 10 minute hike, but it was worth it------what a smart idea to unload with LBC and send it home-----now for the lowlands and your next adventure-----stay safe

[@damelovelyawingawing3516]

Cordillera is loving nature because of mountainus region

[@rencs8038]

Wonderful adventure, thx 👍

[@victoriacavero829]

Amping dong kd

[@famecuyahon]

You gotta slow down so you will get to explore each place you pass by Kumander D 😄

[@KumanderDaot]

Gonna go back there soon 😁 I was with tourism office so on their schedule hehe

[@mylahbarreto5265]

Fantastic road trip!

[@ShowUp991]

looks like a place in a movie or a city of hidden tribes 😄

[@diDaN75]

The best experience you can imagine is trying authentic local foods that originate and become the identity of a place. 😁

[@jun-rodgragasin5693]

You need to service that sensor dust Kumander D. Enjoy your journey and ride safe

[@KumanderDaot]

Unfortunately that dust has got inside the lens! Wish it was just sensor dust, could blow it out! Well spotted as I didn't until you mentioned!
