Mt. Pulag Adventure : This is the Way to the Playground of the Gods

Wazzup Pilipinas !

Towering at a height of 2922 meters (9587 feet) above sea level, Mt. Pulag is the highest peak in Luzon (and the third highest in the Philippines). No wonder it is dubbed as the "playground of the gods".

When you reach the summit of the mountain, you just can't help but get mesmerized of the amazing view. Watching a very heavenly view of a sea of clouds was just too incredible. You won't believe you're practically higher than the clouds on top of a mountain that you painstakingly had to trek and climb for several hours.

I took no time to waste and just quickly grabbed my camera to take photos of the scenery. I can still feel the pain of my body because of the long hours of hiking but every bit of pain was not a very big deal compared to the magnificence of what was in front of me.

I then waited for the rise of the sun as I watched it rise above the sea of clouds and slowly rolled into the horizon to make way for the glorious sunrise. It was a glorious sight to behold.
