We are back to backcountry Camping in the natural campsite at 1,600 meters above sea level. The trail is Challenge to Intermediate. The campsite is renowned for stargazing, as suggested by the name of the national park. We will traverse five hills over a distance of 6.5 kilometers to reach the site.
On this trip, we will also travel to the border between Thailand and Laos, where we will take a photograph. View the floral field surrounding the dragon sarcophagus.
