Hup Pa Tat

Hup Pa Tat (Thai: หุบป่าตาด, pronounced [hùp pàː tàːt]) is a valley located in Uthai Thani Province in Thailand.

[1] During the visits, rare animals like elongated tortoises and pink dragon millipede might be found.

[2] Surrounding by limestone mountains, the sunlight is restrained from reaching the ground during any time than midday.

[4] The Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation recognized the uniqueness and importance of the valley and took place under its custody to make it well preserved.

The surrounding limestone mountain is layered with high cliffs that restrict sunlight from reaching the ground during any time other than midday.

It became a large pit inside the Huai Sok Mountain which the high of the edge is approximately 150 – 200 meters.

[4] The resulting humidity has contributed to a wealth of flora, featuring large shrubs of the genus Excoecaria that are similar to ancient trees.

[1] Walking along the 700 meters path, animal footprints like deer, bears, boars, or tigers claw marks on the trees can be seen.

There are a parking lot, bathroom, a kiosk offering coffee, and shops for snacks and drinks.
