Si Nakharin National Park
National Park
Si Nakharin National Park in Kanchanaburi surrounds the reservoir formed by Si Nakharin Dam; visitors hike forest trails, see waterfalls and camp along the reservoir shore.
Tips for Visiting Si Nakharin National Park #
- Aim for late afternoon at the Si Nakharin Dam viewpoint - the reservoir and surrounding forested ridges are at their most photogenic near sunset, and the dam road has several pullouts for views.
- Enter the park via the main access road by the dam where park signage and the visitor area are located; the dam itself is the easiest way to orient yourself and find short trails and viewpoints.
- Avoid busy holiday weekends when locals use the reservoir for day trips; midweek visits are quieter and let you explore smaller waterfalls and trails up the valley without crowds.
Best Time to Visit Si Nakharin National Park #
