DescriptionEdit

This mountain is the highest point of the Phetchabun Mountains and is in the western range of the massif. The peak rises 12 km west of Highway 203, between Loei town and Phetchabun town.

The Phu Hin Rong Kla National Park is in the area around the mountain. The park overlaps the borders of further two provinces, Phitsanulok and Phetchabun. Most of the mountain is covered in mixed evergreen forest and there are also some farms on its slopes where the climate conditions favor cabbage farming. The area around the mountain is part of the Luang Prabang montane rain forests ecoregion.

The mountain, originally home of Hmong people's settlements, has been overrun by allegedly illegal resorts and restaurants.
