Luzon in Jun-Aug

End of May usually is the start of the rainy season. On average, we usually have 2 typhoons per month with monsoons. Mountain ranges during heavy rains are usually affected by landslides. It is very tricky to ride during this season as it's hard to predict rains and landslides. It can also be brutally hot especially in the lowlands. The rainy season can extend through to September.

Summer Road Conditions

Road conditions during the rainy season usually have some mud and landslides. It can also be slippery especially if it rains for a couple of days as the road has a tendency to build moulds along the road. It is highly advisable to speak with local guides before travelling to the mountain ranges because road closures are possible due to mud and landslides. Some routes include wide open roads with farm lands on both sides which makes it vulnerable to headwinds, crosswinds and tailwinds.

Travelling in Summer

This season is also considered the off peak season, even through to September. Hotels are usually easy to book and transportations is easy to arrange as well. But we still highly recommend that you book in advance.
