Nam Phong Trek

We begin the trek atop Phu Phan Kham Take in the scenic views.mountain, exploring many giant, bizarrely eroded sandstone outcrops – including the iconic Hin Chang Si ("Elephant Rubbing Stone") – and crawling into a couple of interesting small caves; one with a natural skylight. We'll also take in some vast views of the lake and surrounding countryside from several viewpoints. We then walk through the forest along the top of the mountain to another viewpoint above a long vertical cliff, passing – and in one case passing through – many more giant rock outcrops along the way. We'll cross over to the other side of the mountain for a look down into a forested valley and then head back to our starting point for lunch.

       There's a little free time to further explore the biggest outcrops before we begin our descent down to the lake passing even more beautiful stone scenery. This route is rarely used and the park ranger will probably need to break out his machete out at some points. After visiting a very devout forest temple, where many of the monk's quarters are built atop tall outcrops, we finish the trek with a steep rocky scramble to the bottom of the mountain.
