January 15, 2017 - the start of something new, something unexpected from two people who knew each other before then but it didn't occur that something might come up and turn our worlds closer until we no longer can keep up with the emotions. We finished the trail together and hopefully, not just this mountain but the world out there.
Started off Brgy. Ampucao and a few minutes of our start saw this little house.

I just find the place amazing! I never knew such place existed until I was brought here. A monastery situated on top of the mountain that has a great panoramic view of Tarlac. It is a place closer to nature, closer to God.
Also known as Mt. Jumbo
-Famously known as the little mount Pulag of La Trinidad. A top was a grassland and a grand view of the whole valley, a perfect place for camping, picnic and the likes. Trek, relax and be awed.
There no need for a guide, its a find-your-own-way kind of hike but there's an environmental fee collected by the Barangay. It's just about or less than an hour hike from the cemented road but depends on your pace of course.
