Doi Pha Klong

Posted on oktober 15, 2011 ved admin

A geological feast

PHRAE PROVINCE. Doi Pha Klong National Park kan ikke være den grønneste sted at besøge. De, der gør, vil ikke være beskyttet mod solen af ​​en frodig baldakin, og deres hud bliver klistret mod fugt. The geography here is comprised mostly of limestone and dry evergreen forests of thorny trees with small leaves. They combine to create a curiously beautiful landscape, the charm of Doi Pha Klong.

 

On arrival at the park headquarters, especially in the early morning or late afternoon, visitors will be greeted by a cacophony of bird calls. There is a 1.2-km nature trail along which to explore the flora and fauna of the dry evergreen forest. The beginning of the trail, paved with concrete blocks, boasts oddly, but naturally, sculpted trees with entangling vines. Along the trail as a whole, the most predominant plant species is the firework-shaped Dracaena sp.

 

Although the trail is short, trekkers are mercilessly exposed to the sun. Det
informative and friendly rangers therefore warn visitors to take lots of water
before setting out on the trek. The climb can be tough at some points, with
sharp-edged rocks, but the path is well-defined, including intervals of wooden steps. After a good measure of sweating, one finally arrives at Hin Pakarang, a large, wondrously-shaped limestone hill peppered with bright green shrubs.

The Park encompasses an area of 125 km2, covering a diverse range of
geography and activities. About 60 km from the headquarters lies Kaeng
Luang, a series of rapids in the Yom River. These provide a 10-km
rafting route, though the river is best experienced in November or December.

 

Visitors can also stop over at Erawan Cave to enjoy the stalagmites and
stalactites, including those resembling a mythical three-headed elephant,
from which the cave takes its name. Opportunities also exist to rappel down
a 70-m cliff. To arrange an adventure trip, contact the Park headquarters

Doi Phu Kha

Posted on oktober 15, 2011 ved admin

Botanist’s paradise

NAN PROVINCE. Doi Phu Kha National Park is a great
destination for those wanting to combine laid-back relaxation
with moderate exploration of nature. Visitors will notice that the
landscape has been groomed and altered to receive guests. That
said, det betyder ikke, at de ikke vil få en høj dosis af naturen indenfor
the Park.

 

Beginning with the journey up the mountain from Pua district,
visitors will see that large patches of forest on the slope of the hills
have been turned into fruit orchards, namely for lychee. The sight
may not be the best introduction, but on arrival in the Park area, it is
a relief to find that most of its forest remains intact.
Take time to view the exhibition in the Visitor Centre. Here, guests
will learn that besides the star attraction, Chomphu Phu Kha
flowers, there is also a chance to see a living fossil, Caryota gigas.
Also known as Hahn ex Hodel, or Tao Rang Yak in Thai, this giant
palm has a height of 40 m and is endemic to the area. The Park also
offers the possibility of spotting a myriad of wild animals, ranging from
rare birds (the most remarkable one being Sitta formosa) deer, og
gibbons to bears, wild elephants, or even tigers.


Something for Everyone
For those content with lovely strolls through the woods, there are two nature trails near the Park headquarters to enjoy. The small trail is 2 km long; the longer one is 4 km, both winding through a forest of Kesiya, or three-needled, pine, whose fallen needles provide a soft brown carpet over the paths as they lead to Chomphu Phu Kha and Tao Rang Yak groves. The trails are sufficiently well-defined, but the Park recommends visitors be accompanied by a ranger. Trekking should be avoided during the rainy season, as leeches are quite brutal.


Doi Phu Kha offers other activities the whole year round. From August
to December, the river Nam Wa, with its 20 rapids, provides good
rafting (contact the Visitor Centre to arrange a trip). Bird and butterfly
lovers should visit between November and June. During February and
March, the forest will be tinted with the pink blossoms of Chomphu
Phu Kha. There are also a number of caves and waterfalls that can be
explored from October to May.


For more sedentary travellers, the Park provides comfortable and
aesthetically pleasing accommodation. The smallest options are
made from old carts and bamboo, with thatched roofs. Bigger
bungalows perch on a small hill to enjoy a panoramic view of
the mountain range. Alternatively, a tent can be pitched in the
campground to enjoy stargazing. To wrap up the day, the Park also
provides a pavilion to observe the sunset over the hill-lined horizon.

Doi Chiang Dao

Posted on oktober 15, 2011 ved admin

Værgen ånder Chiang

Chiang Mai Province. Chiang Dao var i medierne
rampelyset under 2003, da regeringen kom op med
en plan om at builzd en svævebane til toppen for at øge turismen. Forslaget
mødt med hidtil uset og udbredt protest fra både lokale og
miljøaktivister. Heldigvis, planen blev ikke udført.
Doi Chiang Dao (under Chiang Dao Wildlife Sanctuary pleje) er
den tredje højeste bjerg, og det eneste sted, hvor en sub-alpine
økosystem kan findes i Thailand. Dens højde er 2,225 m ovenfor
havoverfladen, gør en dramatisk stigning i horisonten, når de ses på
ind i distriktet ved Highway 107. Det hesteskoformede
bjergkæde, som den er en del er hjemsted for mere end
340 arter af vilde dyr, hvoraf nogle 206 er fugle, herunder
nær-uddød Humes Pheasant (Symaticus PÅ JORDEN, findes kun
her og i Pai). Det er også det eneste hjem i verden til den nyligt
opdagede orkidé Sirindhornia pulchella, samt ca.
110 andre orkidéarter.

Doi Chiang Dao rummer også åndelig betydning for de mennesker,
af Chiang Mai. Bjerget menes at være bolig for Chao
Luang Kham Daeng, ånden æres af alle ånder og spøgelser. der
er to ruter at komme til toppen af ​​Doi Luang Chiang Dao – i
Wua trail og hulen Ya Khat spor.

The Mountain of the Gods
Udgangspunkterne for de to trailsare om 30 minutter og 1 time væk fra hovedkvarteret, henholdsvis. Der er campingpladser på begge stier, men den anden er længere, stejlere, og dermed mere eventyrlystne. De to stier konvergerer midt-bakke, og flere fire timers vandring vil føre til Mae Salung, den sidste campingpladsen før toppen. Fra Mae Salung campingpladsen, en endelig 45-minutters opstigning (225 m Rocky, kalksten spor) er forpligtet til at komme til den blæsende top, hvor der ikke er vand kilde, men masser af vilde blomster.

Trekkers normalt tilbringe to nætter før du følger den nedadgående
trail tilbage til hovedkvarteret, og skal give deres egne telte, mad,
og vand til hele turen.

 
Det skal understreges, at Chiang Dao Vildtreservat er helliget
strengt til bevaring; turisme er andet på dagsordenen. Det er
hvorfor helligdommen er åben for kun trekking fra 1. november
Marts 31, og er kun egnet til højt helliget karakter
entusiaster. For andre stadig ønsker at få et glimt af sin herlighed, der
er en 2-km natursti, ved foden af ​​bjerget, tilgængelig hele året
rund. Ingen vejledning er nødvendig, men i regntiden, stien er
ofte skjult af højt græs.
