Pi Tu Gro waterfall

           Pi Tu Gro is the highest waterfall on the west of Um - Pang district of Tak in Thailand, flow from the top of Mamuang  Sammuen  mountain, which rivers flow from green mountains that we see clearly in all the rainy season. The views beside the way to the waterfall is the forest, the off road style and adventure.  This waterfall is called “ Pi  Tu Gro from a local name of a stream”

Getting started

Crossing

          Um - Phang during the rainy season it looks lonely. Very few tourists come. It is unusual for us here. The most will see the major holidays because it is heavy rain.  The roads are very difficult to travel.  Car or truck is uncomfortable to go there, only walking to the waterfall.

On the way

Water fall on the mountain

             The village hall “Kui Le Tor” is the center of travel to  Pi  Tu Gro waterfall. Go into wild through bamboo forests to tread into a mushy mud and the field of rice looks bright green cover on the hill. We have to cross streams, a bamboo bridge that makes the heart faint afraid to slip and fall in river, through the jungle and walking up follow the stream. We must walk cross the high 2-3 mountains. We can see the waterfalls flowing down from cliffs.

Rice field

Fog and water fall

            During the rain we have any chance to see extremely this beautiful waterfall.
The mist covered the top of mountain until we can not see it from the downstream. The waterfall that flows from the cliff on the left and right converge to a single way.

Camping

Cooking near the camp

          During the heavy rain you can make photography difficultly because there is a raindrop to float all the time, but it is a beautiful view point at  Pi Tu Gro waterfall. This is also the same location we have seen a ridge on the mountain. The high level of 529 meters in front of waterfall we head back to climb the ridge to rest on a ridge 1,100 meters from sea level. If all-weather day we will walk up the ridge to see the views throughout the long ridge of hills of the forest “Um – Pang” clearly. It is about 1,734 meters altitude.
