🏔️ Mt. Ulap Day Hike: The Iconic Eco-Trail
Hosted by Northern Cruisers
Step into the sky where the grass waves in gold and the mountains breathe in white. More than just a trek, Mt. Ulap is a walk through the clouds—where the crisp Cordillera air meets the jagged edges of Gungal Rock and the ancient spirits of the pine forests. Whether you're chasing the legendary "Sea of Clouds" or simply seeking a ridge-line escape from the city heat, we’ve paved the way. We handle the logistics; you handle the views.
