This is definitely NOT a stroll in the park, it’s a challenging hike up a Rocky Mountain track in possibly tropical conditions depending on time of year.
You will definitely need decent training shoes or better still hiking boots unlike some of the people I passed in flip flops!!!
Take plenty of water (at least 2 Ltr),sun cream, insect repellent and possibly a sugar snack as you will definitely be sweating!!!
All that said, after around 2 hours you should reach it’s peak you will definitely be rewarded with spectacular views.
Unfortunately it’s the descent after that and in my opinion a tougher walk back down than up but a great adventure if like me you get bored of sitting around a pool or beach.
Cost is 300 Bhat which seems to be normal for entering a National park.
Please don’t attempt this if you are not fairly fit, you have been warned 😂😂

The track can be hard for some people, especially if the weather is hot, it can take more than 2h getting to the top but the views are worth it.
Take water with you.

Dragon Crest Mountain (Khao Ngon Nak) Viewpoint is perfect for tropical adventurers & great for nature photography. It's Located in Nong Thale (30km northwest of Krabi Town & 18 km north of Ao Nang ), finding the departure point of the trail is not easy so it is recommended to catch a guide or a local driver. The trail begins with a small map at the entrance to introduce the general area and brief information about the trail and you can park your motorbike there. 3.7 Kilometers long Trail to the summit is nestled amongst the jungle. It takes about 2.5 hours to reach the highest viewpoint (565m asl). The climb is not very difficult. Along the way, hikers encounter a stream, two viewpoints, a waterfall, and last the panoramic summit. The trail to the summit is inconspicuous & a local’s secret hideout, so it's better to go there in the day light and because of krabi's tropical weather, it's better to start the trail early in the morning. You may have some difficulties to reach the peak but when you get to the summit, you will see spectacular view and you will attain superb feelings over there. Don’t hesitate! Hit the Summit.

The views at the top are fantastic, definitely worth the effort. The way to the top though is very tough. You see all types of individuals in different physical shapes that either gave up or turned back around. This place can really get the best put of you. Make sure to bring plenty of water!!

Even if it was a long and sometimes steep way up the hill, the view from the top made it worth it. It is free to enter but you can leave some money in the tip box at the entry.

Well
To be honest I would say no.That said I did see some children walking up there.There are some really tough spots up there,of which little legs might struggle.Also if you are thinking of taking the little one,make sure he has proper shoes.Hope this helps.

I really want to do this hike but unfortunately left my hiking trainers at home. Bit of a long shot but does anyone know if there is any shoe shoes nearby?
TIA

Hi mate
No shoes not that I know off.got a good pair of trainers that will do.
Don’t wear flip flops you’ll regret it.
Hope that helps.
Can you get in before the park officially opens at 8? We want to get there at 7am

Not sure whether the rangers will be there for you to sign in then, which is quite important for your own safety.

hi. we are thinking to go here tomorrow ! just wondered what is the path actually comprised of? is it forest floor path, or is it all steps, or is it all climbing up rocks etc. we did the 1237 steep steps to tiger cave temple and don't want to do something again that's just soley steps or completely steep the whole way

It is rough terrain, quite long stretches over small boulders, uphill over tree roots. Some parts are very steep. There are steps up some of the steep part. The last part is clambering over large rocks, which is where we gave up. It is a fairly strenuous walk, so it depends how young and fit you are!!

Hello guys !
I wish to hike Ngon Nak Mountain in August. Is it possible to hike solo ? Any recommendations for mountain guide.Will be great to have their Facebook or emails perhaps . Thank you in advance!

Please check the weather and avoid at all costs if its rainy because the trek is slippery at many spots. hiking solo is not a problem at all, it is a very short trek. do not forget to carry a few energy bars and a bottle of water as there is no provision of both at anywhere throughout the trek and also no such provisions at the top. A guide is not required at all as you will find many travellers coming back while you go up, they will provide ample guidance and cheer. Any communication with the park authority over facebook or email is not required at all. it is a very short trek but a bit demanding physically.

We are actually staying on Ko Phi Phi Don island. I've read that the taxis cant make it to trail head is this correct? Including ferry trip to the Krabi dock how long of a trip and hike with this be. What is elevation gain? We usually hike the white mtns in the U.S. Only about 4-5 thousand foot elevation gain and very steep rocky footing.

How could i get there if staying in Phuket or Phi Phi island? Do any of the boats dock by here?

Hi, the best option would be to take a ferry (from Phuket or Phi Phi) to Krabi dock and take a taxi from there - ferry is like 400 baht and taxi should be 500-700. If they offer higher prizes (what they probably would try, be tough and negotiate).
Or if you can drive a motorbike, renting one is the smartest option.
Another thing is, it would be better if you have a stay somewhere there because it might be tough to do it like a roundabout trip.
