If so, a half-day Rafflesia trek may be the answer. Or perhaps a steep hike up to the world’s largest bamboo! Maybe you are a waterfalls lover looking for a refreshing swim in a wild jungle pool. Contact Riverside Cottages team and we will arrange it for you!
Khao Sok National Park is home to a wide variety of waterfalls and caves. The best time to visit waterfalls like Bang Hua Rat and Wing Hin is during the rainy season. However some of them, such as the beautiful one-level waterfall Ton Kloi located 7km from the headquarters or Tharn Sawan, can be very dangerous when the Sok River is at full force and the jungle can be flooded.
Many mysterious caves are hiding in this virgin jungle. Thousands of bats are living in the dark along with beautiful stalactites and stalagmites growing below. An abundance of choices guarantees your hiking route will make your experience in Khao Sok unique and unforgettable!
