Koh Phangan, one of the most exotic and heavenly tropical paradise islands in Thailand, is considered to be among the most beautiful destinations in the world. Attracting thousands of tourists, Koh Phangan has a wide range of leisure activities that are both fun and exhilarating and which make it such an ideal holiday location.
Koh Phangan is known for its glorious beaches, azure ocean waters, awe-inspiring scenery, exciting water sports and vast areas of untouched natural landscapes. Those looking for some adventure can try hiking and trekking along the island’s high and steep peaks. There are several mountains which are ideal for such activities set amidst lush greenery and magnificent views of the island and the ocean.
When it comes to trekking, the towering Khao Ra Mountain sets the ultimate challenge. With its steep slopes and winding paths, Khao Ra offers a rush of adrenaline and is bound to test your strength and stamina. Standing 627 metres above sea level, it is the tallest mountain on the island. The trek to the top of Khao Ra starts at Ban Madue Wan and usually takes over two hours. Along the way you will be able to enjoy the verdant and beautiful fauna on this mountain which provides ample shade along the way to the peak. Due to the time it takes to complete this trek and the extremely rugged and steep surface, it is highly recommended that a guide accompanies every trekker. This is not an issue since they can be found at the Phaeng Waterfall National Park. The summit of Khao Ra offers the most spectacular view of the island and the surrounding ocean and it is almost as if you have reached the peak of paradise!
