our trail was the most easy of all the trails to Mt Pulag

Ambangeg Trail – located in Kabayan, Benguet.

It's a 8km trek with a gradual incline to the summit, which would take around 4-5 hours.

2am Start of trail

energetic pa :D

it was dark, quiet, muddy, slippery and amazing.

the first hour super lamig ng hangin

but as we walk papalayo sa aming homestay

parang umiinit na den.

i think pinakamahirap na trail is from station 1 to Station 2

all you can see is the muddy way na lahat pataas!

reached station 2 @ 0444AM

pahinga for 30mins

then off to the Summit

kasi mas maganda daw ung Sunrise.

shot from my phone

kita ung star <3

reached the Summit before the Sunrise

PHOTOS OVERLOAD !!

Sun out  0619AM

SUPER LAMIG!
6 degrees celcuis !
namamanhid ung mga kamay namin
while taking photos.
lahat gusto nakatago ung kamay.

DRONE SHOT!

after seeing the sunrise
Off we go to the Summit

Worth it every lakad

sa ganda ng view <3

even encounter a rainbow

di nga lang makulay 

Tips
you might want to quit on the way
kasi nakikita mo ung destination kung ilang bundok pa
 and masasabi mo nalang
ANG LAYO!
but its NOT! mukha lang malayo
REST if you need to.
then walk forward again. ganun lang
WAG SUSUKO! haha.

the Challenge is?
Ung pabalik ganung lakad ulit!
HAHAHHAHA.
yes kung pwede lang gumulong pababa
why not ?!
pero sabi nga nila
mas mabilis na ung pabalik ng di mo napapansin ung oras

YES! in less than 3 hours nakabalik kami sa homestay.
yes nagmotor na kame Pabalik AHAHHA.
P100 per ride.

view while riding back home.
umakyat pa summit may sea of clouds pala dito
