African proverb
What is Akyat

Akyat is where Filipino hikers find each other. Pick a peak, join an open group, and let the trail do the introductions no barkada required.

The why

Hiking shouldn't be hard to plan for anyone.It's a culture, where lifelong friends are just waiting to be met on the trail.

How it works

Search

Every documented trail in the country in one place: filter by peak, grade, date or jump-off point.

Connect

See exactly who's going before you commit. Pace, climb count and the group chat that opens days early.

Join

Take a slot, connect with a tour guide, meet at the trailhead. No barkada, no planning spreadsheet, no guesswork.

Then allow our design architecture to adapt and optimize to find the best hike group for you.

Trust

Strangers at 4am. Friends by lunch.

Meeting people on a mountain should feel considered, not risky. Four things are true of every hike on Akyat.

Verified tour guides

Every guide is vetted, rated after each climb, and accountable for the group's plan.

See who's going first

Full roster, pace and experience level visible before you take a slot.

Group chat before the trail

Gear lists, meet-up points and small talk start days ahead of the climb.

ID verified users

Government ID checked once, so nobody on the van is a complete unknown.

So you can focus on the hike,not the unknown.

Community

Meet New People. Make New Memories.

Every hike is a small group of people who wanted the same summit on the same day. Lobbies are public, all trail information is clearly stated, and nobody is a stranger on Akyat.

Guides

Hikes come with a local guide

Led by someone from the community that keeps the trail, vetted once, rated after every climb, paid properly.

You don't have a guide's number.You've never walked this trail.You're coming on your own.Don't worry, We'll Handle the Connecting.
What we're fixing

Most guides are still booked the morning of the climb. Rates and schedules live in a Facebook page that stopped posting two years ago, or with someone who knows someone who might reply by lunch.

Akyat puts guides, dates and users in one place, so connecting and planning can happen all in one place.

Early access

No spam. One email when the first hikes open.
