Home Nai Harn Walkways Cape Krathing
4,7 (589)
Tourist attraction Nai Harn

It is a long and difficult path, which is worth overcoming for the sake of beautiful views. This cape can only be reached on foot and you should prepare for the hike beforehand. Wear comfortable shoes, as you will have to walk on rocks and in some places on slippery paths.

Take a short walk of about 45 minutes or a small circular hike of about 2 hours.

The most adventurous make their way to the cape from Nai Harn Beach. The path first follows the rocks along the shore, then uphill along barely visible paths overgrown with grass. The paths are slippery, so trekking poles may come in handy. The descent back to the sea will require more effort than the ascent. Be careful and assess your ability to descend the sometimes slippery gradient.

A safer route starts from the stunning Black Rock. It can be reached by vehicle and then hiked on a gravel road. Orient yourself on the maps to Dragon camping, once you reach it, the views will start to be magnificent. During this long trek you will visit two beautiful viewpoints and encounter rubber plantations along the way.

The most impressive views you will encounter are at sunset. If you decide to do the walk in the evening, try to return before dark, the road is not the easiest and will be easier to navigate with lights. For safety, you can bring flashlights with you.
