Hin Lad Waterfall

The Hin Lad Waterfall Trek is a beautiful and not too strenuous trek. We will follow a jungle trail uphill for about 30-40 minutes (3-4 kilometer). The trail follows the river uphill trough a dense evergreen rainforest setting with palms and creepers. The forest offers lots of shade and somewhat coolness. After our rest we will be walking the same trail down, again in a relaxed pace taking time to enjoy the views and forest. Depending on the time spend at the waterfall the tour will take 1 up to 2 hours.

Duration 120 minutes
