2 Days 1 Night trip
San Nok Wua is among one of the highest mountains in Kanchanaburi at 1,767 meters above sea level. Located in Khao Laem National Park, Sangkhlaburi District, it lies to the West of Khao Laem National Park stretching across the Thung Yai Naresuan Wildlife Sanctuary. So, there’s no doubt that it’s full of lush and thick vegetation. Literally translated as ‘San Nok Wua’ (Khao = mountain / San = ridge / Nok = hump / Wua = Bull), or so-called the Bulls’ Horn, the mountain peak resembles the cow ridge, from which the name ‘San Nok Wua’ is coined.
Distance from starting point to camp 9 km / Hike Level Intermediate
