Of course, this varies according to each person's physical capacity. One should try to pace the trip accordingly as eating amidst an awesome view of Batangas is a great experience. Reaching the top by early noon also gives ample time to set up camp, take a nap and prepare dinner. Gulugod is witness to a beautiful sunset and it would be best to get these chores over with. So, one could just sit and relish the colors of dusk.
Evenings are usually cold.
A sweatshirt and two more layers underneath are sometimes necessary. However, the cold also provides an excellent atmosphere for a few rounds of drinks and good conversation. Likewise, the surrounding blackness suggests the mystic of secrecy. Like the sunset, dawns at Gulugod are spectacular. Its sight can make one forget to prepare breakfast.
