NESTLED deep within the Cordillera mountains of the Philippines, Sagada offers a driving experience like no other. With rugged landscapes, breathtaking mountain views, and refreshing cool air, it's the ideal destination for those craving adventure and tranquility.
And what better way to navigate this challenging terrain than with an Isuzu D-MAX, paired with a luxury camping setup by Overlanding Kings? With gourmet meals prepared by professional chefs, this trip perfectly blends outdoor excitement and refined comfort.
In Sagada, the journey is as significant as the destination. The D-MAX, known for its durability, power and off-road prowess, is the perfect vehicle for this adventure. Its reliable engine and rugged build make easy work of steep climbs, sharp curves, and occasionally rough roads.
The route to Sagada begins in the lowlands and winds up into the mountains, presenting stunning scenery along with challenging roads. One of the most dramatic stretches is the Halsema Highway, often hailed as one of the country's most scenic and difficult roads. Its hairpin turns, narrow passages, and sheer drops make it a true test for any driver. However, the Isuzu D-MAX, with its high ground clearance and 4x4 capabilities, ensures a smooth and secure ride across these formidable mountain roads.
Upon reaching Sagada, the mountain's majestic views unfold. After a thrilling drive, it's time to relax and indulge. Thanks to Overlanding Kings, an outfitter owned by Joel Pedro, camping in Sagada becomes a luxurious experience. With top-tier camping equipment and stylish setups, they ensure your adventure is comfortable without losing any of its excitement.
Gone are the days of struggling with outdated tents. Overlanding Kings offers pre-pitched glamping tents, making setup hassle-free. These spacious tents come with comfortable beds, soft linens, and even solar-powered lighting for a cozy ambiance. The full glamping package includes eco-friendly amenities like portable showers and lounging spaces with plush seating for added comfort.
The thoughtful setup by Overlanding Kings transforms your camp into an elegant outdoor living room. Furnished with comfortable chairs, tables and rugs, you can relax under the open sky. A fire pit adds warmth as the mountain air cools in the evening, providing the perfect spot to gather, share stories, and marvel at the stars — a rare treat away from the city lights.
One of the trip's highlights is an early morning excursion to Kiltepan Peak, where you can witness the awe-inspiring sea of clouds at sunrise. Riding in your Isuzu D-MAX, whose off-road capabilities are ideal for the rugged path, you reach the peak in time to watch the valleys below fill with a dense layer of clouds. The sunrise brings the sky to life, and the tranquil atmosphere, enhanced by the cool mountain breeze, creates an unforgettable experience. Savoring a freshly brewed cup of coffee prepared by the Overlanding Kings team only adds to the magic of the moment.
The luxury of this camping adventure extends to the dining experience, with meals crafted from Sagada's local produce. Fresh vegetables, organic meats, and mountain coffee are the cornerstones of gourmet dishes prepared by professional chefs accompanying the trip.
Leave behind freeze-dried meals and instant noodles — this adventure features a feast fit for a king. Expertly prepared dishes such as fresh salads, grilled meats, and handmade pasta are cooked over an open fire or modern portable stoves. For breakfast, enjoy freshly brewed Sagada coffee alongside local sausages, eggs and freshly baked bread.
With the D-MAX's rugged strength, Overlanding Kings' luxury camping setups, and gourmet meals, this trip strikes the perfect balance between adventure and relaxation.

After a day of adventure, return to camp for a hot shower, a gourmet meal, and a quiet evening around the fire.
