Mount Pulag – A Day Above the Clouds
Even just a day on Mount Pulag is enough to feel like you’ve touched the sky. Rolling trails, endless views, and that famous sea of clouds — it’s the kind of place that fills your lungs and your soul.
You don’t need to camp overnight to feel the magic. Come for the hike, stay for the feeling.
