Mt. Pulag Via the Akiki Trail - May 2023
Рет қаралды 8,009
Жыл бұрынLet's revisit Mt. Pulag this 2023 but let's challenge ourselves by going the Akiki Trail route again! In this video we will humbly try to show you a nearly start to finish climb of Mt. Pulag, Luzon's highest peak and the Philippines' third highest, via an Akiki-Ambangeg traverse. This experience was different from our first climb because the itinerary is different and we got to see in the daytime some parts that we only hiked in the dark last time.
We weren't able to include all the tips we wanted to talk about in the video, so if you have questions about this route, please feel free to leave them in the comments and we'll try to get back to you.
Please like, comment, share and subscribe if you'd like to see more of our adventures.

Amazing! I love your narration --- I'm excited! I want to do this trail as well after a couple of minor climbs and some cardio prep :D I have a question about the actual hiking trail --- are they any dangerous parts? Or is the challenge because it's very steep? I don't see a lot of info on why it's really called the "killer trail" and my anxious trait wants to confirm I can do it :D

Thank you 💗💗💗 We are so humbled by your comment. It's the greatest pleasure when someone is able to connect with our work. Yes, it's a mixed bag of emotions going down--you're exhilarated and recharged from seeing the sunrise up there, and yet you feel lonely having to say goodbye to the mountain. But anyhow, it's a touching experience that you could only hope will sustain you for a good long while when you go back to the cares of the world. 😀🥰

Wow, Tawangan! But sorry to hear you ran into bad weather. Wondering if it's as bloody as they say, especially since it was raining 😬 so the leeches wouldve been having a fiesta! 🥲😵 I didn't mention in the vid how truly lucky we were to see the sea of clouds and blue skies (though the sea of clouds eventually blanketed the summit so the latecomers would have missed what we saw). When we got to Ambangeg jump off, someone who did the hike the previous day was like, "Was there a sea of clouds? We didn't get to see one!" 😅😊

How were you able to camp at the saddle? Are they allowing camping there already? Nice vlog. Thanks!

Hi! Yes, they now allow hikers to camp at Saddle. As far as we know, it's only been allowed this April (er, someone from the other hiking group told me we were the first this year but I don't think so, wink wink) 🙂 Thanks for watching and leaving us a comment! 🥰

Yes! A stair mill would be perfect if there are no hills around 😄. And yes, we highly recommend doing Mt Pulag at least once. 🥰 Ambangeg Trail is also an option if short on time, but Akiki would be epic!

@FogandCoffeeAdventures Жыл бұрын
Hi, here was our itinerary: • Saturday afternoon -- Travel to DENR Visitor's Center Bokod then to Akiki Ranger Station. Spent the night at the homestay due to bad weather. • Sunday morning-- 6:40 AM Start of hike Sunday afternoon -- 4:30 Arrival at the Saddle Campsite This meant a 10-hour hike for us, but pace varies. We had to ask to pass many people along the way and we were NOT even fast. (Some from the other groups arrived at Saddle around 5,6,7 and even after 8pm. Mentioning this to show how big of a variance there could be.) • Monday morning -- Summit and then descent via Ambangeg Wishing you great conditions for your hike, but the rain will kinda complete the experience, so don't forget rain gear. ^^ 🥰

Hi! May i ask which part of the trail has limatiks or leeches?
@FogandCoffeeAdventures Жыл бұрын
Hi! The Akiki Trail is not known to have leeches, and none of us had that experience either, even when it was raining. It's the Tawangan Trail that's known as the "Bloody Trail" because of those bloodsuckers. We haven't done that trail yet. Scared of leeches too but hoping to be able to do Tawangan one day. 😀😁 Thanks for being here! ♥
