Mt. Pulag Protected Landscape

My second major hike of the Philippines mountain.. it's cold here during cold seasons. Very nice and interesting landscape. It's nice inside mossy forest. I'll love to comeback other trial next time

We took the ambangeng trail going to mount Pulag.. luckily on that day, there was a clearing and it did not rain. Going up to the mountain has different elevations which causes different species of plants to be seen.. first one is the pine trees, then you will see the mossy forest or the rain forest. Then you will see small bamboo trees. Lastly, the grassland. Then the summit of mount Pulag. We hiked starting at 1 am. We reached the summit at 5 am. So going up and down would take 8 hours but it can also take longer or shorter depending on your speed, strength and endurance.
P.S - there are many trails. The trail we took is said to be the easiest trail but it was tiring. Akiki trail takes about 10-12 hours.

I will always love to come home to witness this majestic view.

Mt. Pulag via Ambangeg trail is advisable for beginners but still need preparation prior to the hike. Keep your body warm as the temperature may drop during midnight.

Secure your reservation at DENR office. Bring your own medical certificate, strictly no medical certificate, no hike. Camping in campsite 2 is not allowed on weekends.

Nature has always had a captivating allure, and for those seeking to immerse themselves in its breathtaking beauty, Mt. Pulag stands as a magnificent testament to the wonders of the natural world. Located in the Cordillera mountain range of the Philippines, this majestic peak offers a truly extraordinary experience for adventurers, nature enthusiasts, and wanderers alike. With its pristine landscapes, awe-inspiring vistas, and unique ecological features, Mt. Pulag promises an unforgettable journey into the heart of nature's grandeur.

its amazing how God created such an amazing and wonderful view, i really enjoy it

This is my imaginary place I draw when I was grade 1 and Im so very happy for visiting this place. The mountains , clouds , plants , river , animals , hanging bridge, and the sounds of river , Very relaxing so it's far away but worth going for site scenery. I'm in loved with this place I shall buy lot and build house here someday or maybe I can marry here hahaha 😂 joke only ,thats all peace out.

Went last April 23, 2023 as a joiner and the experience was worth the hike. Just have your own phase in climbing to avoid any injury. Stay hydrated the day before the climb.

If you are looking for a group to join which does hiking I recommend "Lakbay Oragon Adventures". You can look them up via Facebook.

Major or minor hike as experts would debate, the experience of being there is surreal. SURREAL! They call it the "Playground of the Gods" and true to its beauty, only dieties are worthy to play its grounds. Mt Pulag's beauty is something worth seeing!

Via Ambangeg trail is 4 to 5 hours of hike up to the summit and another on your descent depending on pacing. We started the trek at 1am to be able to see the beautiful sunrise! Up the summit was naughty foggy so we didn't see the more beautiful sea of clouds. Peak 2, though, showed us a very wonderful sight! It is an experience worth sharing! See pics for Mt. Pulag's majestic beauty!

This is my "mother mountain", and since my first hike in 2016, I scale Mt. Pulag yearly every month of January for its famous - Sea of Clouds, and oh boy, it never failed to amaze me.

The best view so far of all the mountains I've climb. It was a perfect weather when we went there, no rain and there was sea of clouds. We used the beginners trail since we were traveling from province, the trail was easy. It was so cold on top but not much when walking. I had to remove my multiple clothing while hiking. Better bring extra shirt as it gets colder on top since wet from sweating.

We started the trek at 1am. Ideally, you have to spend a night in the summit or where there's a flat place. We spent 12 & a half hours hiking to the summit & back to our homestay. It's a very good experience. Wear your very trusted hiking boots. Get Ryan! He's a very good hike guide & he can repair destroyed boots even while you're on the trek! We stayed at Me An homestay. Hot Meal is php 150 per. Owner & staff are very accommodating!

I've been here when we were in 5th or 6th grade through our GSP outing. I can only remember watching the beautiful sunrise. This time though, I just realized it wasn't really hard to climb this(kasi we used the easiest trail 😆) but still, it was okay for me na almost whole day nakaupo lang. wala masyado cardio. And was able to appreciate Pulag's beautiful sceneries, and the mossy forest pagbaba namin. Took lots of photos. We started trekking at 0130am and reached the summit before sunrise. (I wasnt able to check the time). Overall, it felt great to be able to climb it again.

Started hike at 1:45am, it rained during the trek. We were able to go down before lunch time.

So cold!! We joined an group tour and stayed in a transient.

Started hike at 2am, stranded at Station 2 for 2 hours due to bad weather... arrived at the sea of clouds viewing by 7am. Reached the summit at around 10am. Descent at 1 or 2pm.

Soooo muddy at the trail that my shoes were destroyed after we departed station 2 going to the summit. I had to continue almost barefoot. 😄😄

Best hike so far and will definitely come back via Akiki trail!

Breathtaking view on top of summit. Dense of sea cloud and a vast view of grassland.

Things to improve:
1. Homestay to be upgraded for foreign friendly, better stay and more comfortable
2. Toilet at camp 2 need to have more decent cubicle, proper water supply. Camp 1 also to provide the same

The most amazing experience of God's amazing creation. My eyes are full and my heart is happy to reach the summit. So many wonderful scenery on the way up and it is such wonderful feeling walking to this cold mountain and enjoying every step of ny journey. So blessed to be able to experience this trip. Thank you ❤

This is my 4th climb, and it was zero visibility in the summit at sunrise. It was bitterly cold and tiring, but the experience is still unforgettable. Visitors just need to expect that the weather at the summit is always a gamble.

Still closed for tourists as of now but will open soon. Visited Mt. Pulag National Park few days ago to attend the 21km Mt. Pulag Trail run by Philtra. The 12km and 21km trail race is part of the Altitude OCR World Series-Asia presented by the Philippine Sports Commission and organized by the Pilipinas Obstacle Sports Federation.

First stepped on the playground of the gods year 2017, a 12-hour dayhike via Akiki-Ambangeg trail. A year after, visited the mountain again by joining Pulag 100km trail race from Kayapa, Nueva Vizcaya passing through various towns (dirt roads, trails, mountains) going to Mt. Pulag and back to Kayapa. Now, after four years, I get to experience the wonderful feeling of racing in Pulag again. God blessed us with a wonderful weather during the race day. We had a beautiful clearing and sea of clouds.

Mount Pulag is Luzon's highest peak at 2,928 metres above sea level, third-highest mountain in the Philippines, and the 26th-highest peak of an island on Earth. It is second-most prominent mountain in the Philippines, it is a dormant volcano. Wikipedia

Very beautiful , love the experience , did the beginners trail but still challenging enough I'm definitely gonna conquer this mountain again. Too bad we didn't see much up there because it rained on us lol but it's ok. Worth it. Till we meet again Mt. Pulag

Total of 10 hours of hiking going back and forth, easiest trail for beginners. We started walking at 1:00 AM and went back down at around 12:30 ish noon.
Trail was easy to medium difficulty, expect that it will be steeper as you go.

You will go through the mossy forest and grassland before reaching the summit.

There's a comfort room in the middle of the hike but it's just a room with a hole in it. Wear light winter clothes and use lip balms and moisturizer.
It's around 3°C - 8°C up there.

Check out the view.
