Unfortunately this is not a DIY trip, we joined some backpacker group "Campers and Backpackers" (check their fb) for only 999pesos inclusive of car service, registration fee, tourist guide fee and driver's meal. Mt. Ulap is one of my bucket list this 2017 and I'm sooo happy we finally booked our trip. As they say, Mt. Ulap is not that hard to hike unlike pico and daraitan that we already experienced. But scenic view was soooo amazing! Beautiful! Even we are walking for about 4 hours you will not feel the tiredness because of this view. You may want to take picture every minute. Haha! Though this year Mt. Ulap had so many tourist everyday unlike last year. We took an hour to take a picture at Gungal Rock because it's crowded.

Mt. Ulap has 3 peaks:
1. Ambanaw Paway - 1788 mASL; 3.6km
2. Gungal Rock - 1814 mASL; 5.4km
3. Mt. Ulap - 1846 mASL; 6.5km

We start at around 6am and we reached the exit point around 4pm.
