HILLSVIEW MOUNTAIN VILLA

Traveling is one of the most beautiful thing human being discovered in his/her life.

Whazzup Everybody! a DIY Travel with Shutter-Up Studio - A Photo Phactory Team, KT Travel and Tours with Mom and Pop to Hillsview Mountian Villa at Marilog District, Davao City to experience the breath taking view of the villa as well as the famous sea of clouds. Sad to say we were not able to catch the sea of clouds due to our late travel time but the place is so magnificent and relaxing. No air pollution compared to city life. 

If you want to catch the famous sea of clouds, be sure to travel at dawn like 3 AM if you are in Davao City already. There are lots of Travel Tour packages you can find on Facebook or just Do It Your own (DIY) travel.

The place is so picture perfect. Great for photo shoots, pre-nuptial shoots, for your social media like Facebook and Instagram because, damn, nature is perfectly beautiful.

Since the place is so picturesque, we took the opportunity of taking and making some photos.

With my sister and my Shutter Up Studio Team!

These folks are awesomely good!

I remember our sky-lab driver told us about an overnight stay if we want to, therefore, "overnight stay" at hillsview is available, so I made a researched on this matter and here's what I found:

Lower- 10,000 pesos good for up to 20 persons, in excess 200 per head

Package Lower and Upper 18,000 pesos good for up to 35 persons. In excess 200 per head..

- Don't travel alone or without proper vehicle during nightfall, zero visibility! I don't recommend riding a habal-habal during this time.
