Khao Hua Mok trekking near Bangkok, amazing view
This post will take you to trek near Bangkok, but the view is guaranteed to be amazing.
#Khao Hua Mok, Ban Na District, Nakhon Nayok Province
The signature of this trail is a large rock that stands on the cliff, challenging the sun and wind. There is a small rock on top, looking like a hat, which is the origin of the name Khao Hua Mok.
- Pin and park at #Ka Ang Water fall and start everything from here.
- Ka Ang Waterfall is a community area with a stream flowing through it. There are shops, restaurants, and restrooms. In fact, there are many trails in this area. Trail runners call it #Chicken Feet Valley because there are 3 main routes in the shape of a chicken's foot. The route to Khao Hua Mok is one of the three routes.
- The route to Khao Hua Mok is about 3.9 km long. From the Ka Ang Waterfall parking lot, ask the locals or look for the sign for the starting point of the Khao Hua Mok trail. The first part is a concrete road that walks through the community. Continued with dirt road (if you don't want to walk the first two sections, you can hire a car) and a forest path.
- Climbing up the hill from the beginning, the last 1/4 of the way is steep, but it is not necessary to use climbing equipment.
- The path is clear. Once you pass the community, there is shade all the way. There are signs and markers.
- If you come during the rainy season, it is muddy and slippery. Some sections have to walk through water.
- We walked up alone on a weekday morning. We only met one pair of tourists walking past.
The view from the top is very beautiful. Khao Hua Mok is also amazing in its location.
- On the side of the rock, there are ancient paintings that the Fine Arts Department has surveyed and found to be painted 1,500 - 3,500 years ago. I think this is a very underrated tourist attraction. It is so close and beautiful. More people should talk about it.
It can be a one-day trip. It takes about two hours to drive from Bangkok.
