Khao Ngon Nak (Dragon Crest) Trail
เขางอนนาค
Krabi's most popular hiking trail. At the summit you can stand on the cliff-edge rock formation known as the "Dragon Crest" and look out over the Andaman Sea and the islands.
Khao Ngon Nak (Dragon Crest) lies within Nopparat Thara national park. The trail is about 3.8 km one way, climbs to around 500 metres, and passes through tropical rainforest. The final section is steep, requiring you to clamber over tree roots and rocks. The climb usually takes 2 to 3 hours. The "Dragon Crest" rock juts out over the cliff edge, offering views over the Ao Nang coast, Railay and the Four Islands. It is Krabi's signature photo spot. The national park entry fee is about 200 baht. Start early in the morning, bring at least 2 litres of water and wear shoes with good grip. The trail is generally closed to hikers after 2 pm, and be careful after rain when the path is slippery.
