overview

Khao Sok National Park comprises 60,000 sq kms (about 140,000 acres) of spectacular limestone cliffs, rainforest, and bamboo jungle. Located in the central mountainous spine of southern Thailand, this natural oasis is home to emerald green lakes and rivers, towering limestone cliffs and lush tropical rainforest and is home to a wide variety of animals, plants and birds. Elephants, tigers, tapirs, hornbills, Asiatic black bear and wild deer still exist in harmony with nature in this pristine natural wilderness.

The animals most often seen in the park include gibbons, with their haunting mating call; long-tailed macaque and sleek black languor monkeys; wild boar and wild elephant. In addition, at certain times of the year, it is possible to view the giant Rafflesia flower, which is unique to the area and can grow up to 80cm in diameter.

This trip is not for the faint hearted, but travellers with a thirst for adventure and discovery will love this place! Accommodation is very basic but what it lacks in creature comforts, is more than made up for by the stunning scenery and tranquil setting. Choose from a selection of jungle hikes, elephant treks, caving, canoeing, boating, in treehouse & floating rafthouse accommodation.Trips can be tailored to suit your interests, budget, dates and other requirements as necessary and are suitable for individuals, families or groups.
