Soi Dao Waterfalls

The most popular tourist attraction is Khao Soi Dao Waterfall, which comprises of 16 tiers: the highest one near the peak and the lowest one at the starting point of the climb.

It is a kind of challenge and reward to get to the 1,556 meter peak of Khao Soi Dao Nua mountain (and hence the highest tier of the fall). The starting point (near the 1st level of the waterfall) is located 3 km behind the visitor center of the wildlife sanctuary. From here you walk through the evergreen forest for about 1.2km (about 1 hr or more) to the sixth level. You will see abundance of local vegetation, birds and butterflies. From this spot you can look up the stunning view of the levels 9 and 10.

The 800 meters trek from the sixth level to the ninth might be one of the toughest sections. You walk along a narrow trail that takes you up and down. There are leeches on the wet ground. This part may take about 40 minutes. The ninth level of the fall is said to be more beautiful than the sixth. It is relaxing to sit beside the fall admiring the beauty of the nature.
