Title: The Road to the Playground of
Gods
(This is a recount of my first encounter with the sea of clouds and surreal slopes that Mt. Pulag has become synonymous with.
The cringe, exhaustion, extreme heat, thin air, dropping temp, breathtaking sunrise and soap-opera worthy experience
are the bits and pieces of memories I have with this mountain.)

~ These heights bring delights... that sky stretches wide... Rolling blues, shimmering bright... ...passing by below our weary eyes. On a soulful plight, our breaths hold tight Oh that peaceful clouds, behold thy light! ~ (the early morning scene at Mt. Pulag ) |
In the heart of imposing Cordilleras,
lies a playground fit for the gods. Defined by its distinctive slopes, dwarf
bamboos and sea of clouds, Mt. Pulag in Kabayan, Benguet, dubbed as the
country’s third highest peak, stands proud and enigmatic at 2,922 MASL,
welcoming trekkers with picture-framed panoramas and one-of-kind mountain
experience.
