It is the 3rd highest mountain in the Philippines. I wasn’t able to see its beauty at its finest because of the weather but I’ll surely be back sooner or later. I wanted to see the famous “sea of clouds” but unfortunately I just saw a glimpse of it. This is an amazing place and one of the reasons why I climb mountains. Inspiringly and spectacularly beautiful plus the amazing bunch of people I got to climb with.
Mt. Pulag I’ll see you again later 🙂
These are the magnificent rice terraces you can see at the beginning of the climb. It can surely ease your shortness of breath before starting the upward trail.
The summit with these two amazing people 🙂
And yes! It’s a rainbow up there, it’s like a dreamlike scenario. Quite pleasing to the eye and uplifting to a weary soul.
Climbing Mt. Pulag wouldn’t be complete without trying to ride on top of the jeepney, worth the risk. You can see amazing landscapes along the way.

I got to climb with these tough girls, how amazing 🙂
As Mt Pulag constantly gains its popularity, the number of tourists and climbers are also increasing. This is actually an alarming scenario, years from now I wonder how this place would look like if people wouldn’t start taking action to protect this lovely gem of Cordillera.

Beautiful! Sweetie and I will be climbing Mt. Pulag via Akiki trail this week for our Valentines Day celebration. Seeing your pictures makes us more excited!
Wow! How was your Pulag climb? I replied very late.:p
It was definitely awesome! But we didn’t experience the Sea of Clouds coz the weather was bad.
It’s okay; that gives us a reason to visit the mountain again. Hehehe!
Exactly! That was the same thing I experienced so I’ll definitely go back 🙂
Beautiful images. And I appreciate the wonderful perspective of your blog’s tagline: “It’s not about my existence, It’s about the big world I’m living in.” Nice!
