Tour Overview & Description
Challenging 3.7 km Rainforest Trek, 565m Summit Overlook, Legendary Hanging Rock & 360° Panorama
Khao Ngon Nak (Dragon Crest Mountain) is heralded by international travelers and outdoor photographers as having the single most spectacular panoramic viewpoint in all of Southern Thailand. Located within Than Bok Khorani National Park, the trailhead begins in peaceful Tubkaek Beach.
Ascend a 3.7-kilometer jungle trail through pristine virgin rainforest, passing small cascades and ancient fig trees. Upon reaching the 565-meter summit plateau, you will be rewarded with a mind-blowing 360-degree panorama: the emerald Andaman Sea, Phang Nga Bay islands, and dramatic karst mountains stretching all the way to the horizon.
