Doi Phu Kha National Park is the source of numerous streams and holds an ancient history tied to the legends of Nan’s people. Situated at an altitude of 1,980 meters above sea level, it covers an area of approximately 1,050,000 rai, spanning Pua, Chiang Klang, Thung Chang, Mae Charim, Tha Wang Pha, Santi Suk, and Bo Kluea Districts.

The terrain consists of steep, rugged mountains with stunning scenery. The park boasts a variety of forests, including evergreen, moist evergreen, dry evergreen, pine, mixed deciduous, dry dipterocarp, and rich palm forests. It also features caves, waterfalls, and spectacular natural landscapes.

One of the main attractions is the Chompoo Phu Kha tree, one of the rarest species of its kind, once believed to be extinct but rediscovered in the forests of Doi Phu Kha. From February to March, the tree blossoms in full bloom, creating a breathtaking sight.

Doi Phu Wae offers vast grasslands and rocky plains, perfect for viewing the sea of mist and sunrise.

Pha Khong Cave is a large cave filled with stalactites and stalagmites, divided into many chambers, though it is inaccessible during the rainy season.

Sila Phet Waterfall is a large and shady waterfall where visitors can safely swim.

Additionally, the park offers nature trails to explore rare plants and diverse wildlife.
