Sagada in July

November through May offers the best weather, with clear skies and minimal rain. December and January bring the coolest temperatures — pack layers because it drops to 10°C at night. March and April are ideal for hiking with warm days and cool evenings. The rainy season (June-October) turns trails muddy and dangerous, plus many cave tours get cancelled. But here's the thing — the mist and clouds during wet season create an otherworldly atmosphere if you don't mind getting soaked. Peak season is December-February when Filipino families escape the heat, so book accommodations early. Avoid Holy Week (March/April) when crowds triple and prices spike.
