Huap Tad Valley, Uthai Thani

Huap Pa Tad is located in Thung Na Ngam Sub-district, Lan Sak District, Uthai Thani Province. It is under the care of Tham Phra Thun Wildlife Sanctuary. It is a place full of beautiful and unusual nature. Huap Pa Tad has been declared a conservation area by the National Park Department due to its unique geographical conditions with many rare plant species such as the turtle, the cedar, the small khat khao, and the ground jackfruit. Huap Pa Tad is a large cave with a forest full of cedar trees and strange ancient plants. Huap Pa Tad Cave was discovered by Phra Khru Santitham Koson (Luang Pho Thong Yot), the abbot of Tham Thong Temple in 1979. At that time, the monk climbed down into the valley and found many cedar trees. The cedar trees are ancient trees in the same family as palm trees. So he dug a cave to be the entrance to Huai Pa Tad in 1984. The distance for the nature walk is 700 meters round trip and takes about 30 minutes. It is a nature walk that is easy and enjoyable. You will see the Tad trees densely covering the cliffs full of stalactites and stalagmites in strange shapes. Start by walking through the stairs that have been made to go to the first point, which is a completely dark cave hall. The end is a large shaft with light shining down. There is a viewpoint that reveals the amazing image of the Tad forest. Palm trees have wide, serrated leaves that grow well in the cool, moist, dense rainforest. They cover the entire path as if you are in the ancient world. For anyone who wants to experience the feeling of being in the world of ancient plants, come and see the wonders at #HuiPaTad #DriveAwayIfTiredThenTakeABreak #mind_madge #MissNature #CentralRegionTeam #VisitUthai
