Unmissable Sight: Rare Pink Snapdragons at Man Daeng Waterfall
Every August, a unique and captivating spectacle unfolds at the Man Daeng Waterfall within Phu Hin Rong Kla National Park. This year, visitors from far and wide are flocking to witness the once-a-year bloom of the rare pink snapdragon flowers[1][2][4].
Located in the heart of the national park, spanning across Phitsanulok, Phetchabun, and Loei provinces, the Man Daeng Waterfall is a hidden gem that attracts nature enthusiasts[3]. The pink snapdragons can be found growing on the rocks of the waterfall's fifth tier[4].
To reach this enchanting sight, tourists embark on a 3.5-kilometre hike through dense rainforest from the Man Daeng ranger station[5]. Along the way, they pass by the cascading waters of the Man Daeng Waterfall, which has nine tiers in total[6].
Park officials urge visitors to respect the fragile ecosystem and refrain from littering or stepping on the rocks where the pink snapdragons grow[2]. It is also recommended to bring rain gear, waterproof covers for cameras, trainers, and leech protection[7].
The pink snapdragons differ from the more common orange variety and are not found elsewhere within the park[8]. Their brief but striking burst of colour against the cascading waters of the Man Daeng Falls makes for a truly unforgettable experience.
