Baan Pong Scenic Loop

Dogs Leashed

Features Lake · Views

The loop is almost entirely on trails, it starts at a beautiful temple and passes by a stone quarry. From there it is a relatively long climb on a doubletrack, but there are great views along the way. The second part is mostly down on a shady, comfortable doubletrack.

The climb at the beginning is quite long, so make sure to pace yourself.

You'll start at the parking lot of a beautiful temple. From there you take a concrete road for a short moment before turning onto a doubletrack dirt road. The views from hereon out can be really impressive, especially during sunrise or sunset times. The doubletrack keeps climbing steadily until you'll have to turn onto a singletrack. This part can be slightly overgrown but the section is not long. Then it is mostly downhill on a comfortable road, making for a nice and relaxed second part of the route. Just be careful to follow the route as there are many intersections with other trails.

The area is quite well developed, so wildlife is limited. Nonetheless you may spot some beautiful butterflies, snakes or even eagles.
