Have lunch at a restaurant near the headquarters. We will have a short study of the national park, its plants and wildlife in the park office.
We will hike the trail along the Huay Yang waterfall amids lush forest. The fall has 10 levels but tourists are allowed to visit only 7 levels.
The first level (bottom level) is 400 meters walk from the head quarters. The levels of the fall are not far from each other, and there are pools of clear water good for swimming.
The trail up to the level five is not difficult, and is a popular trail and we could meet other visitors. After the level five the trail is steep and we may be climbing alone.
