Mt. Ulap Eco-Trail

About

Mt. Ulap Eco-Trail is a roughly 9-km point-to-point ridge trail in the Ampucao-Santa Fe mountain range of Itogon, Benguet, popular for its grassland ridges, pine forests, sea-of-clouds views, and the iconic Gungal Rock photo spot (summit ~1,846 MASL). Hikers register at the Ampucao Barangay Hall/Elementary School gymnasium, where a local guide is mandatory; it is done as a half-day day hike or an overnight camp at the grassland campsite. Facilities are basic (pit toilets, a small store), in keeping with a community-managed eco-tourism trail.
