Postcard Perfect - Mt. Pulag
Over the Fence 10 Comments »Others have told me how dangerous climbing a mountain can be. But I just don't see it that way. I love how the sun bathes me in it's full glory, the splutter of rain when it overtakes us in our trek, the little things on the way that catches my attention every now and then, the pure will of heaving my body to make that next step, and make it to the final stop-the final destination.
Last March 30-April 2, 2007 we went to conquer Mt. Pulag. I never thought that such a mountain trek at Mt. Pulag would be as tough as it seemed. Mt. Pulag is considered the second highest mountain in the Philippines (9,645 feet above sea level. It is located in the island of Luzon, covering 11,500 hectares and lies along the Grand Cordillera Central Mountain Ranges.
Considered as one of the most beautiful National Parks in the Cordillera Area, the ranges cover portions of the provinces of Benguet, Ifugao and Nueva Vizcaya. Mt. Pulag is naturally different from the rainforest peaks in the Philippines because of its open area where the summit of Mt. Pulag is covered with grass and dwarf bamboo plants. At lower altitudes, the mountainside has a mossy forest cloaked with fog, and covered with ferns, lichens and moss. The mountain is said to be comparable to the Chocolate Hills of Bohol during the dry season, while during the rainy monsoon season, it is camouflaged with all sorts of shades of green just like a typical golf-course. Locals of Benguet believed this to be a playing ground of their gods.
Mountain climbing is also one of my favorite past time. It gives me the recharge of my life especially when I'm in my lowest. It gives you this sense of awe and admiration to God's creation. the deafening silence on the mountain peakis the majestic roar of God's voice speaking in your heart.
Thanks for the nice message you dropped there in OTWOMD. Your blog is not senseless. in fact it is sensible. you just have to update it every once in a while and you also have to include the link to your site everytime you leave a comment. hahaha
I had a hard time looking for this blog of yours kasi wala ito sa feed reader ko, kasi din, dahil di ko makita RSS Feed ng blog mo. most of the blogs I visit is nasa feed reader kaya I don't anymore go blog hopping in browsers. hindi ko makita kung nasan RSS moeh. but anyhow I have already bookmarked your blog in my browser.

I love the view, my kind of thing,the way human sees a wide perspective, reflects inside his mind's eye.
Unbelievable! I read on the news that there was this Filipina from Nueva Viscaya ba yon? who went up to Mt. Everest which is why, they are making this buzz to drum up tourism in this area para daw mamundok na lang sila.
Pero di ba nakakatakot here with so many NPA's?
