This is a three day long pulag hike starting from ambaguio nueva vizcaya and ends at tawangan benguet. Thanks to jun aflred asan III (of iclimbmountain) for organizing the event. Day 0 meet up was around 8-10pm in quezon ave and greenfield. Arrived at around 8am in ambaguio and started the hike at around 9. The first day composed of a few kilometers of descending a concrete road before going off road. From there the ascent was relatively tolerable up to napo village. We ended the first day after the 8hour hike at lower napo high school and spent the night in one of the classroom.
The 2nd day hike for pulag camp 2 started past 8 after a good breakfast. A kilometer in, our guide followed the old trail that got swallowed by the greenery. We still made our way with ample amount of difficulty. Got a little nervous when the guide asked if we can check google 😂😭. We eventually got back to the trail and spent lunchtime at one of the kubo. Went back to the trail afterwards and met with pouring rain. Some if us decided not t wear raincoats because it gets hot inside. Eventually made it at camp 2 at around 6pm but got very cold from the rain and the elevation (~2800masl). I tried experimenting with my insta360 doing some starlapse while waiting for dinner.
We started our 3rd day at dawn going to the radio tower and shot a sunrise timelapse. Afterwhich we ate breakfast and prepped for the tawangan descent. I was very wary of the infamouse limatik trail because i dont wanr to get bitten and get an infection. So after entering the mossy forest, we had to check for limatik everytime. I almost ignored the unli cliffs but its hard since the pathway usually fits only one foot. Encountered about 10-20 limatiks up until the small stream of river. We descended that path along with some unstable rocks, slippery plants, and fallen trunks. After another 8hrs of walking and 50kms, we arrived at the ranger station to freshen up and had coffee. Waited for about 1-2hrs (around 8pm)before the other group arrive. They successfully conquered that river path without the sun. We were able eat our dinner back in pugo, la union at around 2am 😅 and back in manila by 6am.
