Nakee Cave is located in Phu Langka National Park in the Ban Phaeng district of Nakhon Phanom province. It belongs to the Nổi Bật caves and is characterized by rock formations resembling the scales of a mythical serpent (Naga), as well as rocks shaped like a Naga head.

Let's explore some of the hidden treasures of Phu Langka National Park, starting with Nakee Cave, a magical cave recently discovered in the Ban Phaeng district of Nakhon Phanom province. The cave's most striking feature is its cracked surface, a natural phenomenon called sun-fracture, which creates patterns reminiscent of the scales of a curled-up naga.

Arrival and route: Circular route approx. 3 kilometers (duration approx. 3-4 hours).

Difficulty level: Easier to hike than the Naka Cave. The path is not very steep, the forest provides shade, and no strenuous climbing sections are required.

The most important photo spots, which are equally popular with tourists and spiritual seekers, are the following:

1. Naga Cave (Naga Scales): Sandstone walls with winding patterns and cracks reminiscent of the scales of a giant snake or the body of a naga (mythical serpent). 1. Formed by geological processes (solar cracking).

2. Nagas Eyes: Natural pools of water on rocks that reflect light and clearly show their moisture content only during the rainy season.

3. Naga Heads (Heads 1, 2, 3): Rock formations in the shape of the head of a mythical snake (Naga), according to local belief.

4. Luang Pu Sao and Luang Pu Wang Pagodas: Places of worship and viewpoints overlooking the forest and the Mekong River on the Laotian side.

5. Luang Pu Wang Cave: A place to find peace and pay homage to sacred objects in the footsteps of revered monks.

6. Boat Head Rock and Turtle Gate: Uniquely shaped rocks located along the hiking trail to the summit.

7. Monkey Face Rock: A natural rock formation that resembles a monkey's face.

The tour takes approximately 4.5 hours (a tour guide or park employee is required).

The path is not very steep. Naga Cave: It is located in the Bueng Khong Long district of Bueng Kan province. The path is longer and steeper, so the climb requires more effort.
