From Balintawak take NLEX going to STA. INES EXIT (end part of NLEX). From Sta. Ines, go straight to MABALACAT TOWN PROPER, upon reaching the intersection TURN RIGHT and drive straight along Mc-Arthur Highway going to Bamban until you reach the “Our Lady of Lourdes Shrine” or was fondly known as BAMBAN GROTTO.
NOTE: It is located right after the bridge that has post (WELCOME TO BAMBAN).
Upon reaching the street pointing to LOURDES GROTTO, TURN LEFT AND GO STRAIGHT the paved road, you will be guided by the signages from the street or if you overlooked the signages, asked bystanders or people around and they will help you through. As you reach a narrow street, (TAKE NOTE: a little sari-sari store is the landmark) TURN RIGHT and drive straight. From that narrow street, a minute or two, you will reach Goshen Resort.
