Phu Chanadai is a high and striking cliff within Pha Taem National Park, located in Khong Chiam District, Ubon Ratchathani. The cliff rises approximately 300–400 meters above sea level, providing clear views of the Mekong River and neighboring countries.

The area is rich in dry evergreen forest and native plant species, home to various wildlife and bird species. The trail to the summit has been developed for visitor safety, although it has some steep sections, and covers a distance of about 1–2 kilometers.
