Mount Pulag, located in Kabayan, Philippines, is the third highest peak in the country and a must-visit for nature enthusiasts and hikers. Best accessed via Baguio City, it requires an organized climb facilitated by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), so booking through a tour provider is highly recommended to handle the permits and guide requirements. Typically, the trek can be completed in 1-2 days, with camping being a popular option to witness the breathtaking sunrise. The cost varies but averages around $50-$100, inclusive of permits and guiding fees. Visits are best planned during the dry season from November to April, as the trails become very challenging during the rainy season. Be prepared for cold weather, especially at higher altitudes, and bring appropriate gear.
