Mt. Pulag : The 3rd Highest Peak in the Philippines
When my friends and I decided to hike Mount Pulag, we made the wise choice of hiring a tour agency to handle the organization, ensuring a hassle-free experience. The tour package offered by the agency included the following:
Transportation: RT van transfers to and from Mt. Pulag Side trip to Jang Jang Bridge
Accommodations: 1 night homestay arrangements made comfortable stay during the trip
Meals : Dinner and breakfast included
Trek Guide & Registration
How long is the hike?
We started hiking at 2am and arrived at Camp 2 at around 5:30am. We stayed there for a couple of minutes while waiting for the sunrise at Tower Peak. This is around 6 hours of hiking to and from the Ranger Station.
What to expect from the hike
Ambangeg Trail is fairly easy. It's good for beginners, some of us are even first time hikers. Please make sure to wear warm clothes because it gets very cold in this area especially at the peak where there are no trees. Best months to go is from December to May. (January - early March the coldest)
What to bring
- Dry fit shirt
- Fleece Jacket
- Waterproof Jacket
- Headlamp
- Hiking shoes ( please make sure to break in if it's new)
- Emergency Blanket
- Gloves
- Water
- Snacks ( it’s more than 6 hours of trek so you need the energy)
- Medications and First aid kit
- Thick socks
- Warmers ( if you get cold easily)

If you're looking for a challenging but rewarding hike, I highly recommend the Ambangeg Trail.
