So… you might be wondering what it was like.
Well, it was really tough to be honest! The first section – which is about an hour or so into the hike – was fairly steep and quite challenging because of the mud and roots that often blocked the pathway.
But we persisted and kept climbing (sometimes on all fours), until we reached a viewpoint where we could catch our breath. That concluded the hardest part of the climb.
Big, dark clouds were rolling in, and we silently prayed that it would not rain on the way back…
WOW, this is a view like you’ve never seen before! From the Khao Ngon Nak Viewpoint you can enjoy a 360 degree view of the green, hilly landscape and idyllic islands – for which the Krabi province is so famous. Join us on the climb to the top of Ngon Nak Mountain and be amazed!
