This is one of the most beautiful climbs in the world. Definitely a bucket-list climb. A fantastic climb, but one that shouldn’t be underestimated—it’s tough. The climb consists of a never-ending succession of hairpin turns. The profile doesn’t suggest that there are two sections of the climb that are more than two kilometers long with gradients exceeding 15%, including stretches over 20%.

The climb and the Hmong villages at the summit are a popular tourist destination for Thais. The climb can get crowded on weekends in December and January.

Dit is een van de mooiste beklimmingen ter wereld. Absoluut een bucketlist klim. Fantastische klim, maar niet te onderschatten zwaar. De klim bestaat uit een niet ophoudende opeenvolging van haarspeldbochten. Het profiel doet niet vermoeden dat er twee secties in de klim zitten van meer dan twee kilometer boven de 15％ met stukken boven de 20％. Omdat deze berg in een verder slechts heuvelachtig gebied ligt, heb je de hele klim fantastische uitzichten.
De klim en toe Hmongh dorpjes op de top zijn een populaire toeristische bestemming voor de Thai. De klim kan druk zijn in maanden december en januari in de weekenden.

The Alpe d'Huez of Thailand!
A very hard and beautiful climb with lots of harpins.
The climb and mountain is famous amongst Thais due to the views and camping experience. When I was there the traffic were light and everyone were cheering.
It has many steep ramps of up to 20％, so also be careful if you are going down, though the road was perfect in 2022.
I stayed on the mountain for 1 night which were a great exprience.
