Do It Yourself Mt. Pulag

The view that welcomed my birthday

To celebrate my 26th year, I wanted to have a birthday climb at Mt. Pulag with my family and relatives.

This is my second time to climb Mt. Pulag and I decided to have a do-it-yourself trip. First step was to contact DENR to reserve slots for the summit on our travel date. Their most recent contact person is Sir Ray (0929 166 8864). Next was to contact a jeepney for this trip. For our trip, we asked a Holyghost bound jeepney to bring us to Pulag. But any jeepney would do as long as the driver would be willing to wait out in the ranger's station overnight.

Here is a copy of the expenses for those who would like to try:



Detailed expenses

So for a pax of 20, the expense could be as low as Php730.00 per head. So cheap for an experience of a lifetime!

Note:

• Bus from Manila to Baguio costs around Php 455.00. Bus lines that have Baguio trips from Manila are Victory Liner, Genesis, and Dagupan Bus.
• Bring thick jackets and bonnets to help fight the cold weather.
• Flashlight is a must since you will be trekking to the summit at around 3AM in the morning.
• Don't forget the trail foods!
