Practical notes for walking in the north: what to pack, when to go, how to be a good guest.
What to pack for a night climb on Mt Pulag
The summit is near freezing before sunrise, even when Baguio is mild. Layers, not one big coat, are what keep you warm and dry.
Walking the terrace walls: how to be a good guest
The terraces are working farms. The walls are paths because there is nowhere else to walk, and the people farming them are your hosts.
Travelling in the rainy season
From June to October the north gets most of its rain and the typhoons. The terraces are greenest then, but the roads and trails need care.
Getting to Baguio for your trip
Most of our trips start in Baguio at 6 am, so plan to arrive the day before.
