Amazing Pha Ngerb

Saturday hike turned out to be way more exciting than we expected. The sun is brutal during day time, so we left at 7:00. It was a bit nippy (13C), so we quickly passed Huay Kaew waterfall with just a brief pause to take a picture.

Huay Kaew Waterfall
The last rain was many weeks ago. During the dry season the waterfall is not really roaring

Chiang Mai inhabitants are not early risers, so if you want to do some sightseeing without crowds you have to wake up and get out with sunrise. We left the waterfall behind and ventured into the forest. The maps of that area are, for the lack of a better word, not very precise, so we just followed a twisted trail. We were in a national park just about 6 km outside of the city center, so, not surprisingly, we came upon this signPha Ngerb 100m
and discovered this amazing rocky formation

It’s hard to judge from this photo, but there is enough space underneath this rock to comfortably house a human (or 2-3)

I could not resist to through this pic here. It looks so… scifi-ish

It may look great on a photo, but this is the air quality in Chiang Mai. Lots of dust around.

We tried to make a video, but the sun was still quite low, and it was fairly dark under all vegetation and rocks. You can still get a better idea about the place, but the quality is subpar.
