Camping

Hikers and their tents at Mt. Pulag

There are a few campsites to choose from: Camp 1 is still within the mossy forest area; in Camp 2 the grassland is just beginning (2600+ MASL). There is also another campsite which goes beyond the summit, on the way to the Akiki trail. This is the saddle campsite and is preferred by those who want close proximity to the summit. Camp 2 is the most advisable campsite, with a close water source, latrines (work in progress), nice views, and more manageable weather conditions. However, the saddle campsite, being very the near the summit, takes you as close to the sky as possible. Either way, temperatures can plummet to near-freezing levels.

All climbers are advised to bring their own supplies for the duration of their stay at the Park. Most supplies may be purchased at reasonable prices in Baguio City’s public market, numerous shops and convenience stores. Food and drinks, cold weather clothing, first aid, cooking needs are all available in Baguio. Mt. Pulag souvenirs are available at the Ranger station where climbers are required to register prior to their unforgettable adventures at the Mt. Pulag National Park.
