it's summer season in Batanes!
June to August is actually the best time to visit because it is summer there during this period :). Learned recently that Batanes is the only province in the Philippines that has 4 seasons. (The only airlines flying there has daily flights during the summer season....and seats are on sale!) ;)

Planning to visit!!!
Great pics! I've been planning to visit Batanes for a long time now, I hope to come after storm season though. Batanes would be a delightful break from work *winks! This blog is really helpful, coz i'll be going there with just a backpack and on a shoestring budget :)

It was nothing compared to what most people here at travel blog had done ;). Anyway, as much as we wanted to give a large tip, we only had very little cash left -- gave them each RMB30 (for the entire trip). When are you planning to go there? Good luck and enjoy the trip!

Hello: i read your blog with great interest and excitement. If it's not too much trouble, may i know what is the name of the local travel agency in Manila who assisted you with your itinerary/tibetan permit ? Was the permit mailed to you from China to Manila ? Hope u dont mind. Have a nice day !

wow, your trip's annotation made me feel like I were in Lhasa too. I am glad you realized your dream, despite the misadventure. I hope you are well now. Where next??

Dream ko rin to..
I was hoping sana may mga taong gusto rin pumunta ng batanes, just to roam around and enjoy the place, pero mga backpackers lang, kasi I am planning to go there, but in a tight budget, i like this blog, kasi ang ganda ng mga pictures, kaka inggit.. anyway to those interested to go in batanes, na backpackers lang, email me.. thanks...

You've got great pictures. Hope you can post some of them here. That's one hell of a story you have there. But in the end, what matters is that you've SURVIVED! lol

Hi Rio, Budget will depend on where you're coming from. If from Manila, roundtrip fare is about P10,000, depending on when you booked your ticket. Expenses once in Batanes is minimal. You can stay at Ivatan Lodge instead of the more expensive accommodations. It's a fine place to stay. You can hire a guide or just roam around by yourself :)
