Sagada is about 400 kilometers north of the Philippine capital of Manila. It is in the middle of the Luzon landmass and is nestled in a valley along the Cordillera Mountain Range. There are two major routes to Sagada – one on the western and more developed side via Baguio City and the other along the east via Banaue.
Manila to Baguio
Victory Liner is the bus line of choice to Baguio City. The company offers almost eighty trips a day from its five bus stations in Metro Manila. The two biggest stations are the ones in Pasay (convenient for those in the Pasay-Manila-Makati area) and Cubao (convenient for those from Quezon City). A bus leaves every hour on the hour. You can call 02-833-5019 to 20 (Pasay) and 02-727-4534 (Cubao) for ticket inquiries and reservations. Unless its peak season (April – May), it’s very likely that you won’t need a reservation. You may simply go to the station and buy the tickets there for the next bus.
Price: 460 Php ~12 USD
Schedule: Every hour
Duration: 6-8 hours. If you leave Manila late at night (around 10 PM, you can arrive in Baguio before 5 AM). Traffic jams in Manila and other cities along the way can dramatically change your time of arrival.
Stops: The bus stops twice at provincial stations for restroom breaks. The stations also have concessionaire stands for light snacks and drinks.
Tips
- To maximize your time, leave Manila during late night. This allows you to evade the heavy rush hour traffic and ensures that you’ll get the first trip out of Baguio to Sagada.
- Instead of buying food and drinks from the concessionaires, stock up on snacks before boarding the bus. The prices are a bit jacked up so you’ll end up saving more if you come prepared.
From Baguio To Sagada
Upon arriving at Baguio, you may take a cab to the Dangwa Bus Station. The cab fare will cost about 40-50 Php (~1+ USD). Locate the Lizardo Transit station – facing the station, it’s on the LEFT side. They have a small ticket booth where you could buy tickets minutes before the bus leaves. The first trip
Price: 220 Php ~ 5.50 USD
Schedule: First bus leaves at 630AM. The last bus leaves at 1 PM.
Trip Duration: 6-7 hours (The roads are pretty rough)
Stops: The bus makes two stops. There are restrooms and food stalls in the vicinity as well.
SAGADA – BAGUIO (for the way back)
Schedule: First bus leaves at 5 AM. Last bus leaves at 1 PM. One bus every hour, on the hours.
Tips
- Be prepared. Take medication for motion sickness if necessary.
- The buses are not air-conditioned and even if the region is known for cold weather, the sun could prove to be quite an adversary at mid-day. Don’t forget to apply sunblock.

Hi jB Cionelo, thanks for droppin’ by our site. There is no direct Manila-Sagada bus. Yes there is Manila-Bontoc-Sagada, but it is still two rides (Manila to Bontoc via bus and Bontoc-Sagada via jeep) see latest entry by Benj, Travel:Going to Sagada From Bontoc. Almost the same travel time.

hi!
We are planning to take a side trip in Sagada 1st week of May after our convention in Baguio. Is there a route from Sagada to Mla without going back to Baguio again? And how many hours is the travel time? thanks
Comment by Ching — April 2, 2008 @ 12:50 pm
Yup.
Via Bontoc/Banaue. The trip will be around 10-11 hours. That’s still roughly the same amount of time you’ll need to go down via the other side. I emailed you.
Comment by Benj — April 2, 2008 @ 1:28 pm
Thanks Benj! I got the mail already. In that case, we will do as advised.
Thanks to this site! It’s a great help. We look forward for the upcoming Sagada adventure especially the cave exploration. The photos are very inviting. At least, we will be able to touch (i suppose!) the stalactites and stalagmites unlike in the underground river in Palawan that we can only look at them. In fairness though, the underground river is a breathtaking site!
Comment by Ching — April 2, 2008 @ 2:09 pm
If you want to check out the Banaue Rice Terraces, you could opt to take the other route.

how much ang total na magagastos pag punta sagada from manila at balikan??? kasama na ung accomodation at fare at fud?? mga magno roughly?
Comment by rodee — April 9, 2008 @ 1:14 pm
Transportation – 1200/head
accommodation – 200/head/night
Food – 100-150/meal; or just bring your own stocks.
Tours – very variable. Please read the other parts of this site. Most often, you will find the answers there
3500 is a doable amount. Just bring canned food and cook it at the hotel.
Comment by Benj — April 9, 2008 @ 1:31 pm
Hi Benj!
Yes, we’ve decided to take the Banaue/Bontoc route going back to Manila so we could have a glimpse of the Banaue Rice Terraces. We believe the site would be worth the rough and long travel.

Lizzy, Yes.
If you read the article, it actually says that there are 7 trips a day.
Mavi, figure in the amount of time it takes to get to Sagada.
24 hours will be your travel time To-and-from Sagada. The schedule of buses also means that your “last” day in Sagada can’t extend to past 1PM. Your first day also can’t start earlier than 11AM if you’re going via Baguio.
With that schedule, YOU WILL ONLY HAVE 1 full day in Sagada. Gets?

Hi,
Im planning to go Sagada with my family this holy week. My dad really prefers to go with our own transpo but I read in one of the comments here that it’s not advisable to do that? We attempted to go Sagada from banaue 2 years ago but we had to turn back midway because there was a landslide. The roads then were ok for a revo. No improvement since then?
In any case, if we take the bauio route, is there parking in the Dangwa Bus Station or any nearby parking lot we can leave our car? Also, would you have the contact number of Lizardo Transit? I can’t find them on the web, we would like to book the tickets in advance.
Kindly email me your feedback, really appreciate this. Thanks so much for your help! I’m sure you’re a blessing for a lot of first timers like our family
Comment by Raine Romero — March 2, 2009 @ 1:54 pm
Heard that the road from Baguio to Sagada has greatly improved. We used both routes mid of last year, the road from Banuae – Sagada was much bumpier and at one point, the road was almost completely washed out.
Not to say that the road from Sagada to Baguio wasn’t heart-stopping either, but you will manage to drive parts of the way on very good road as compared to the other wherein it’s just ONE BIG bumpy ride.
You also get to passby the highest point in Luzon (via Baguio-Sagada), so I guess it’s worth the long travel. One can see rice terraces littered along the way from from Sagada to Baguio.

Hi. My wife and I and kids are set to go to Sagada via Baguio from May 18-21 and we’ll stay at the Rock Inn. We prefer to take our Starex van for the trip, encouraged by third party inputs that the van will endure the trip and that the roads from Baguio to Sagada are very much well-paved/maintained (about 90% daw). Since this is the first time we’re doing this, I’d appreciate if you could just help me out with the following:
1 – What road/s do I take from Baguio to Sagada? Are there guideposts/signs along the way?
2 – Our daughters are aged 15, 10 and 5. Would it be safe for the younger ones to take the treks, cave visits, etc.?
Hope to hear from you soon.

We’re planning to go there on Sept 6-8. Safe po ba pumunta ng days na to in terms of weather condition? Roughly how much po ang budget for accom and food. Yung places na pupuntahan depende na lang kung may budget pa kami. Impt lang ung tutuluyan. Tnx

Hi, I will go up to Sagada next week. This may be a stupid question, hehe, but I’d like to ask: do I need to settle for guides for various spots? I hope to meet people there because I am traveling alone. Maybe we could share expenses. Thanks.

How is the halsema highway now? I heard that it’s 90% paved, is this true? I’ve been to Sagada twice driving a toyota revo without any problems. Now I will be driving a honda civic with 5 pax inside. Kaya na ba or may sections na talagang for high clearance vehicles pa din? Pa advice naman anyone. Thanks.

Now I will be driving a honda civic with 5 pax inside. Kaya na ba or may areas pa rin ng halsema that are for high clearance vehicles only? Pls advice. Thanks
Comment by Mike — September 23, 2009 @ 4:05 pm
There are still pretty rough spots, Im afraid. I wouldn’t say 90% – more like 80% (i.e. only one hour is rough driving out of the six hours from Baguio). I wouldnt be too confident driving a car like a Civic in those roads. I havent seen a car of that model on the road ever since I went to Sagada. Cheers.

Hello there,

Thanks

Comment by arnold — January 30, 2010 @ 6:50 pm
Manila to Baguio is 440 (victory Pasay) less than ten pesos i think if you will come from cubao which is closer…plus pay 5.00 for insurance which is optional…i go home to baguio regularly…
Comment by ami — February 2, 2010 @ 10:05 am

Sagada is one of the best place to go for a vacation. Tita mary’s residential lodge is a perfect place to stay. then pag nagutom may mga kainan sa market instead of going sa mga restaurant na exensive. Tita mary Your the best. babalik ako ulit jan… thanks. God Bless!!!
