INTRODUCTION
Mount Pulag is Luzon’s highest peak towering at 2,926 meters above sea level. It is standing along the borders of the provinces of Benguet, Ifugao and Nueva Vizcaya. The mountain’s unique environment of pine forest, mossy forest and grassland offers not only trekkers but also landscape photographers scenic playgrounds to enjoy and capture. The temperate climate is also a big factor why this mountain is so popular among adventure and nature seekers. If we will be lucky, we can be given a chance to photograph the majestic sun rising above a sea of clouds and distant mountain ranges. We will be camping for two nights in the mountain and will do two early morning treks to the summit. This must be a fun photography adventure to do in 2025 summer season. |
