Over the past several years, Sagada has emerged as a popular destination, especially among adventurers and soul searchers. It is most famous for Sumaguing Cave, Blue soil Hill, Bomod-ok Falls, and the Hanging Coffins, a traditional way of honoring the dead, which is still practiced to this day. but when the film That thing Called Tadhana featured it in its most iconic scenes, this quiet town made a permanent mark on pop culture as a romantic destination.
But Sagada isn’t the easiest to reach. From Manila, it is quite a long drive. For the longest time, the most common way to get there is by first going to Baguio and catching another bus to Sagada. but more options have been made available over the past couple of years. the most convenient is the direct BUS, which can take you from Quezon City (in Metro Manila) straight to Sagada overnight.
In this post, we’ll discuss these two options in detail: by direct bus and by making a stop in Baguio.

Manila to Sagada via Baguio
It is also possible to reach Sagada via Baguio. This involves a change of bus and terminal in Baguio City. A number of companies offer bus services to Baguio, but two of the most popular are victory liner and joy Bus. These are also the only two we have tried, so we’ll be focusing on them.
1. ride a bus to Baguio City.
Victory liner has terminals in:
Pasay
Cubao
Caloocan
Sampaloc
JoyBus has terminals in:
Cubao
Pasay
Avenida
To see the full schedule and fares of JoyBus and victory liner buses, check out: MANILA TO BAGUIO BUS SCHEDULE.
If you can, choose a late night bus so you’ll arrive in Baguio in the early morning because the last Sagada-bound bus leaves Baguio at either 11:30am or 01:00pm.
2. Take a taxi to GL Trans Terminal.
GL Trans and Lizardo Trans are the two bus companies that offer the Baguio-Sagada route. between the two, GL Trans is more recommended by our local friends.
From victory Liner/JoyBus station, take a taxi to GL Trans Terminal.
Fare: P80.
Travel time: 10 minutes.
3. catch a bus to Sagada.
At the GL Trans Terminal, approach the counter and purchase a ticket to Sagada, which costs P220.
As of writing, here are the schedule and routes:
05:30 am – Sagada > Besau
08:30 am – Sagada Ambasing
09:30 am – Sagada > Besau
10:30 am – Sagada > Besau
11:30 am – Sagada Ambasing
01:00 pm (last trip) – Sagada > Besau
Notice that the latest departure time is at 1:00 PM. If you are coming from Manila, make sure to be in Baguio before the last bus departs. It’s better to arrive early in the morning to guarantee the transfer to Sagada from Baguio to give you time allowance and save you from the hassle and stress. note that the seats can sell out fast, especially on weekends, that even when you arrive at 10:00 AM, the bus departing at 11:30 AM is already full.
Travel time: 6 hours.
Fare: P220.
IMPORTANT REMINDERS:
Be alert. Don’t fallSpí, pretože samotné mesto Sagada nie je miestom, kde sa výlet končí. Možno vám bude chýbať a skončiť v Besau, čo je obvyklá záverečná zastávka trasy.
Žiadne rezervácie a predbežné rezervácie. Opäť tu musíte byť skoro, pretože vydávajú lístky autobusov na tento deň iba na základe prvého príchodu, na základe základne najskočia.
Predaj lístkov sa začína o 5:00.
Hladný pri čakaní na váš autobus? Populárna miestna reštaurácia spoločnosti Baguio, Good Taste, má pobočku v blízkosti terminálu.
Autobus urobí najmenej dve zastávky.
