Phu Lom Lo, Phu Chi Fa

In the Kok Sathon sub-subdistrict, part of the Phu Hin Rong Kla National Park, the peak reaches 1,600 metres above sea level. Between mid-December and January, the mountainside and valley is covered in Wild Himalayan Cherry trees in full bloom. The summit can be reached from Ban Rong Kla in Phitsanulok as well as from Kok Sathon, Dan Sai, Loei. The park doesn’t permit visitors to spend the night here and it’s recommended that tourists seek out accommodation close to the foot of the mountain, like the campsite at Phu Hin Rong Kla National Park or any of the accommodation options in Dan Sai district, Loei. To ascend Phu Lom Lo and admire the Himalayan Cherry Trees in bloom, a 4wd drive pick-up vehicle is recommended. Visitors who don’t own a 4wd vehicle can contact Kok Sathon Tourist Association on Tel. : 06 2557 0912 as they organize transport during the season when the trees are in bloom. The price is around 1,500 baht for a return trip.
