After a Saturday road trip to the northern part of Nueva Ecija going to Nueva Vizcaya, Dong Ho, Orlan and I, now head to the eastern part of Nueva Ecija going to Aurora.From Cabanatuan, where Dong Ho, Orlan and I spent the night, we woke-up early to catch the early morning mountain-mist of Sierra Madre Mountain Range. Our itinerary for this Sunday is to see much of what we can in this road trip from Cabanatuan to Dingalan, Aurora. I must admit, although I am from this area and have passed through this route several times, still, the prospect of discovering new things thrill me.
The landscape in Cabanatuan City and Palayan City is very plain but once you enter the towns of Laur and Gabaldon, you will be awed by the mighty presence of the Sierra Madre Mountain Range in the roadside. The gentle rain showers also added to the misty effect of the place as fogs envelope the tips of the mountain.
To go to Laur, you need to go first to Cabanatuan City Central Transport Terminal where there are passenger jeeps that departs (when passengers have filled the jeepneys)heading to Laur. Alternately, you can ride a bus going to Dingalan and asked the driver to drop you to Laur. There are also lots of private vehicles for hire in Cabanatuan City that will take you to Laur.
Please check also my travel buddy Dong Ho's post about Scarp Slopes of Laur here.
