Naka Cave, one of Thailand’s sacred and mysterious sites, is located in Phu Langka National Park, Bueng Kan Province. It is steeped in the legend of the Naga King Pu Sri Lue, who, as the story goes, is eternally bound to guard this cave due to a tragic love story. Naka Cave is famed for its intricate rock patterns resembling serpent scales, giving it an aura of the mythical Naka kingdom. Geologically, these patterns, known as “Sun Cracks,” are formed by daily temperature shifts causing the rocks to expand and contract, creating unique and captivating designs.
The trek to Naka Cave is a challenging 2-kilometer route that starts at Tad Wiman Thip Temple and winds through forests and unique rock formations such as Turtle Gate, Boat Head Rock, and various Naga head shapes. Hikers navigate soil paths, stairs, and occasional rope sections, with stationed staff providing guidance and assistance along the way, creating an adventurous journey filled with reverence for the Naga.
Visitors can book in advance via the QueQ application or walk in. The trail opens from 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., and all visitors must descend by 6:00 p.m. Naka Cave has become a top destination for both nature adventurers and those seeking to express their faith in the Naga spirit.
