Sarika Waterfall is one of the most famous waterfalls in Nakhon Nayok province and is located within the Khao Yai National Park area, similar to Nang Rong Waterfall. It is notable for its cascading flow which totals 9 tiers, each offering different height_s and beauty. The tier most popular for swimming and photography is Tier 1, which features a wide pool and rocky platforms for relaxation.

What makes Sarika Waterfall uniquely special is Sarika Cave, located near the waterfall. This cave was once used as a place of spiritual retreat by Phra Ajahn Man Bhuridatta, a renowned Vipassana meditation master, lending a sacred and spiritual significance to the location. Furthermore, rare flora and small wildlife can be observed, indicating the rich biodiversity of the forest in the Khao Yai region.

The best time to visit is during the rainy season, as the waterfall will have the highest volume of water, allowing visitors to fully appreciate the flow of all 9 tiers, which is the most beautiful and impressive sight. However, visiting during the dry season still offers cool comfort and easier access for those who wish to trek to the higher tiers.

Sarika Waterfall is a place that merges natural beauty with religious devotion. It is suitable for those seeking inner peace and wishing to connect with Thai Buddhist history. Besides being an excellent spot for adventurers and hikers interested in exploring the upper tiers, it is also a fantastic location for beautiful waterfall landscape photography.
