I can’t shake the magic of my trip to Sagada, especially the unforgettable adventure to Kiltepan Peak. If you're planning a visit, I highly recommend going during off-peak times for a more serene experience with the stunning sea of clouds. Waking up at 4 a.m. was a small price to pay for what awaited us. Our jeepney topload ride was a thrilling start to the day—just 50 pesos for a round trip, and it felt like we were on top of the world as we made our way up.

When we finally reached Kiltepan Peak, the feeling was indescribable. As I stood there, gazing at the breathtaking sea of clouds, I couldn’t help but whisper, “Wow.” The tour guide was right; catching the sunrise here is a must. As the sun began to rise, it painted the sky with colors I’ll never forget. The whole scene was perfectly scenic, and I felt incredibly lucky to witness it on such a clear day. This experience was truly one of the highlights of my time in Sagada, and it was absolutely worth every moment.
