I've been to countless mountains here in the PH and Mt. Pulag is the most beautiful, stunning and worth it mountain to hike. The homestay nights are quite special because you can just stargaze from where you're staying and see the milky way even without a camera.

[@TheTravellingFoxes]

The sky is amazing isn’t it? I’ve seen it in many hikes away from the city where the smog covers the skyline.

[@jacksparrow9496]

Nice vlog. Brings me back the memories when I climbed Mt. Pulag some 3 decades ago. No cellphones pa that time. Lesson: Enjoy life and nature while still young. I envy seeing you guys. I wish I still have the strength pero ala na. Ingat lang kayo lagi.

[@TheTravellingFoxes]

Hi Jack! Thanks for your comment. I hope you can still get to enjoy the other mountains - it doesn't have to be the big ones.. maybe in Rizal or batangas:)

[@jacksparrow9496]

​@@TheTravellingFoxes Thanks. Before Mt. Pulag i also climbed Mt. Mayon, Bulusan, and Isarog. Had the time and honor of climbing together with the UP mountaineers back then. I brought my son with me up to Mt. Isarog. Time flies.

Hi! Different tour guide for both hikes. The first hike I joined a Facebook group. This hike was organized privately.

Thank you for checking out our beginner's guide for Mount Pulag! Hope you get to see the sea of clouds, it is beautiful

[@natasha.villaroman]

Amazing! It does look pretty doable for beginners as it's not so steep...the clouds look so cool during sunrise 😍

[@TheTravellingFoxes]

Natasha Villaroman yeah! He’s the perfect mountain foe beginners. First day hike is only 3hrs, then after camping at 4:30am it’s 1.5hrs to the summit. So it’s not physically strenuous. :)

[@matthewstorm5188]

@The Travelling Foxes If it’s only three hours to camp and another 1.5 to the summit, why not just do the whole thing in one shot? You could probably summit in even LESS than 4.5 hours because you wouldn’t be hobbled by a heavy overnight pack for the hike up to camp.

[@inkedmom_hikes4655]

​@@matthewstorm5188 that i wonder too..as I've seen alot of blogs and its mostly with overnight camping..Miss. Nat any reason po?

Are tents available to rent at the ranger hut or defenitely need to bring your own? any possibility for hammock overnight in that area alcohol stove an OK option to boil water there?

[@TheTravellingFoxes]

Hi! Tents are available at the ranger station but I am not sure if you can reserve, it might be first come first served basis. Yes there are trees and also the ranger station to hang a hammock. Might be cold though! The structure you saw at the end is where all the cooking is done, its not far from the campsite, maybe less than 200 meters.

[@kellymckline5126]

phillipines is the best hiking spot talaga and every hiking dont forget essential like water, casino ethyl alcohol active and more

[@TheTravellingFoxes]

Yes indeed, so many mountains to explore in the Philippines. Mt Pulag is still on my top list :)

[@junreymoyon6355]

Hello, may I know if you can rent kitchen utensils at the ranger's station? Or did you bring your own?

Maam gudpm magkano ang registration fee sa mt pulag kabayan benguet

[@matthewstorm5188]

Please don’t take this the wrong way. But I just have to ask. Why did you do this hike as an overnight? It seems like a hike of this distance and elevation gain could be done as a relatively easy day hike. Plus, you wouldn’t have to carry a heavy overnight pack. Also, is it required that you do this hike as an organized group hike? Or can you just show up at the trailhead alone and start hiking whenever you want?

[@TheTravellingFoxes]

Hi Mathew, the reason for that is mostly because I was with beginner/ first time hikers. The overnight camping is for the experience, and to ensure that the newbie hikers can experience the view at sunrise. Yes it can be done really easy, but for a beginner hiker to start hiking at 12 midnight to catch the sunrise isn’t as fun :) As for hiking, you’ll need a guide who will provide all the necessary permits. It’s not a hike you can just go to as it is a protected area.

[@matthewstorm5188]

One thing I’ve found is that sunset is at least as nice as sunrise, but without the crowds and effort. You don’t have to get up early and can go much more at your own pace. Then again, if you are limited to scheduled guided trips, this is probably not an option.

[@wavemaker2077]

Some trivia about Mt. Pulag. The mountain was named after Peleg, the brother of Joktan, in whose time the world was divided into the 3 sons of Noah. In a way, it is proof that Joktan indeed settled in the Philippines. One of his descendants, Sheba, the Queen of the South, became famous for meeting with King Solomon. That is where Cebu, the Queen City of he South, got its name.
