Luzon highest summit
It is essential to have the right gears and clothes when you want to climb Mt. Pulag. Temperature can go close to the freezing point and it rains almost everyday in the mountain. Without proper equipment, the cold combined with the rain could leave you with hypothermia.
We will provide a list of things to bring when you book.
Meals
You can either buy some simple meals at ranger station or you can cook your own meal at the homestay's kitchen.
❶ Do we need a medical certificate? Yes. Without this medical certificate the National Park won't let you enter the site. You can either secure it from your doctor or simply get it on site from the local clinic.
❷ Is it easy or difficult? This trek is a moderate one. On Tripinas scale we would put it at 2.5/5. The trail is easy and never very steep but the weather can be really cold and wet. If you have the right gears/clothes it will be manageable.
❸ Tent or homestay? It is your call but we strongly suggest you chose the homestay to maximize your chance of summiting.
❹ Do we need to reserve? Yes, the national park does not allow visitors without a reservation. TRIPinas will take care of this if you book with us.
❺ Is it true that a foreigner will have to pay more? Unfortunately yes, the national park charges an additional fee for non-Filipino (unless they have an ACR card). This extra fee won't get you any additional service.
❻ Which time of the year is the best? Basically during the dry season, from November to May. During the rainy season hikes are often cancelled, trail muddy and no visibility.
