Toril Hill - A Walk In A Green Slope

A week without a hike is a torture for me, and a long stay at home doing no 'advenature' makes me weak. Luckily, with a quick glimpse of my list of beautiful mountains in Villaba, Toril hill was a top choice.

This hill had been visibly calling me for years every time I'm on my way home from Palompon. Its summit is enticing from afar, particularly in the Lingganay area, evoking surges of longing to set foot and be engulfed above.

And this year alone, I am living my dream for the fourth time already to constantly praise its natural beauty and the vista that surrounds her.

Going for a hike in the mountain is my chosen mode of exercise to surface out from stress. It contributed a lot of benefits to my well-being and health. So I encourage everyone to try the calming effect only nature can offer.

"The beat of every step, the rustle of leaves, the musk of mountain air, the impeccable songs of the birds are enough things that can rejuvenate oneself to be happy and alive.

The happiness it can offer is an absolute gem. Everything out here is real. No filters, just nature."

Captivated. Contented.
