Kiltepan Viewpoint
Kiltepan Peak
The top spot in Sagada for sunrise and sea of clouds, where the valley fills with churning cloud and terraces appear below, and visitors gather before dawn.
Kiltepan Viewpoint sits on a ridge about 3 km northeast of Sagada town and is the most famous place locally to watch sunrise over the clouds. At dawn, clouds fill the valley, distant ridges rise like islands, and as the sun comes up the clouds turn gold. On clear days you can also see the terraces below. Most people set off between 4 and 5 a.m., by hired van or on foot, which takes about an hour from town. Crowds are heavy in peak season. It is cold on the mountain at dawn, so bring a jacket. There is a simple coffee stall at the top.
