The trail to the Big Buddha Temple is one way to reach the island’s main attraction. Hikers can choose this path and combine a walk with a visit to the temple.
The trail is not too difficult, but it is better to walk at a measured pace so that the uphill climb does not seem exhausting. Even an unprepared person can do it.
When approaching the trail from Kata Beach, you will encounter a few steep ascents, so the further path will be easier. Further up the mountain there will be a few difficult places, but in the dry season they can be overcome without much effort.
The path passes through picturesque jungle where beautiful butterflies and birds fly. You will come across many beautiful landscapes that you will definitely want to capture. If you’re lucky, you’ll catch a rubber harvest.
On the way back, don’t lose concentration. There are some difficult sections where you have to hold on to ropes, so be a bit more careful.
It is recommended to do the hike in the morning before the heat. Ascent and descent will take about an hour. It is also worth setting aside time for sightseeing, especially if you are visiting it for the first time. Only clothes that cover your knees and shoulders will be allowed into the temple.
Wear comfortable shoes, cover your head from the sun, bring enough water and a change of clothes in case it gets too hot. A walk to Phuket’s sacred site will definitely give you a pleasant experience.
