Khao Khitchakut National Park

Khao Khitchakut is a national park in the Soi Dao Mountains with dense forests, multiple waterfalls, and rocky formations spread across different elevations. The landscape shifts between steep hillsides, forest plateaus, and open viewpoints where surrounding mountain ridges are visible.

The government protected this place in 1977, making it Thailand's fourteenth national park. The designation safeguarded the natural resources and wilderness for future generations.

Buddhist pilgrims visit this place during religious celebrations, coming to pray at sacred sites and connect with the natural surroundings. The trails link these spiritual locations with the landscape, creating a space where faith and nature meet.

Trails at higher elevations require vehicles, and trucks are available for hire to navigate the challenging mountain terrain. Visitors should prepare for strenuous conditions and bring suitable footwear.

The Krathing Falls cascade in thirteen separate levels throughout the park, with each drop revealing a different forest type and view. This stepped arrangement lets visitors experience multiple ecosystems in a single walk.
