“Ka-ang Waterfall, a small waterfall characterized by a wide stone courtyard. There is a waterfall flowing through the stone channel.”
Ka-Ang Waterfall is a famous and well-known natural attraction in Nakhon Nayok Province, located within the jurisdiction of Khao Yai National Park, which spans several provinces. The waterfall is characterized by its stream flowing down gentle tiers of low-lying rocks. Its main feature is the large rock platform situated near the cascade, which has become a popular spot for resting and picnicking. The shady and cool atmosphere persists throughout the year, maintained by the dense canopy of large trees and various plants, making it ideal for escaping urban hustle to embrace the tranquility of nature. Access is relatively convenient, making it an easy day trip destination and suitable for families and groups of friends looking to swim and picnic.
What makes Ka-Ang Waterfall special is its natural beauty, which retains the pristine quality of the forest environment. There are short, nature study trails around the waterfall area, allowing visitors to appreciate the biodiversity. The sound of the water flow and the fresh, clean air truly help visitors relax. Additionally, basic amenities and small shops are available nearby, making a visit here quite comfortable. Ka-Ang Waterfall is therefore an unmissable destination for those visiting Nakhon Nayok, especially during the season when the water level is high (after the rainy season), when the water is particularly clear and runs beautifully.
