(This is the third part in a series of five entries for Tanay – Daraitan)
The Moon
At the western side of the camp, while waiting for the Sun to come up, the Full Moon shines brightly and illuminates the other side of the mountain range. The moon also highlights the clouds covering the river valleys.
The Sun
One of my favorite activities when climbing mountains is waking up early and patiently waiting for the Sun to slowly brighten up the horizon and then cast its piercing rays to energize our body. It is like vividly watching a painter color the sky with hues of reds, oranges and yellows.

oh my god! stunning! I’ve been here but I haven’t witness such beauty.. spectacular!
Thanks for liking. I highly recommend that you camp at the summit next time and also visit Tinipak / Daraitan River and cave during descent… The guides told us that there is also a waterfall within the area but it will take us half of a day to go there…
part of the itinerary is to visit Tinipak River and cave but we ran out of time. hopefully we can visit there again someday 🙂
I just checked your blog and found out that you went to Mount Daraitan last May… We went there last May 26, maybe we climbed on the same week. Hehe.
yeah it might be 🙂
Stunning photos! Can I chase the sunrise? Please. 😛
nice sea of clouds… na witness din namin ang sea of clouds
