Suggested Route in Khao Yai National Park

Haew Narok Waterfall

Haew Narok Waterfall is the largest waterfall in Khao Yai National Park, located at the south side of the park in Prachinburi Province, consisting of 3 levels with total altitude of 150 metres.

The trail starts off at the parking lot which is about 1 kilometre away to reach the view point of the first level. You will find beautiful nature along the trail. Also, there is a 50-metre-long stairway which is quite steep and narrow. However, when you reach the view point, the view of the waterfall will worth every struggles, especially during October-November.

* The second and third levels are quite dangerous and not open to public.

Sai Sorn Reservoir

Sai Sorn Reservoir is located between Khao Yai Visitor Center and Pha Kluay Mai. This is the main water resource for all Khao Yai National Park’s activities as well as wild animals.

Sai Sorn Reservoir is known for its beautiful sunset and you can get closer to some wild animals when they come out and drink some water around the area as well.

Kong Kaew Nature Trail

Located near Khao Yai Visitor Center, this 1,200-metre-trail is surrounded by a fertile evergreen forest and will take about 45 minutes of walking.

You will find some stops along the route where the nature’s story is told and explained.

We highly recommend this route for those who want to soak up the breeze of a tropical forest in short period of time. Also, don’t forget to stay hydrated and bring your favourite walking shoes with you as it has some uphill walking and you could get sweaty.

Haew Suwat Waterfall

With the beauty of 20-meter-high streams of water falling and easy access, Heaw Suwat Waterfall is one of the most popular landmarks in Khao Yai National Park.

At the bottom of the waterfall, there is a basin and streams that you can take a dip in the water, relax, and enjoy the nature surroundings.

During rainy season, the water current is quite strong and cold. The streams will be even more beautiful but it is too dangerous to get into the water during that time.
