Mt. Irid via Sta. Ines Trail: 2D1N itinerary

From Tanay · Overnight via Sitio Sadlac

Hours to the summit
6.5 hours to the summit

The usual two-day plan: trek from Sta. Ines across the river crossings to Kinabuan Falls and Sitio Sadlac, camp near the base, then make the summit push early on day two. The summit is about 6.5 hours away in all, and a dayhike is possible but long. A guide and prior arrangements with the barangay are expected.
