Nathon - Mountain Ridge - Zong Ruave Waterfall 2-3 hours
The Nathon - Mountain Ridge to Zong Ruave Waterfall Trek is a rather strenuous trek of 8 km.
We will start at a dirt road about 200 meter above sea level, that will lead us uphill to the mountain pass from where we will continue our hike following the ridge of the mountain all the way to the top (450 meter), A sometimes rather steep and steady climb on a beautifull trail leading trough different forests of lush evergreen vegetation with views over both the north and the west side of Koh Samui.
Close to the top the trail becomes even smaller and provides a true jungle experience, leading us along the top going down on the other side. On this side we will follow a dirt road to go down, back to the paved road where once more we will be rewarded with a stunning view over the west side of Samui.
The last part we go down the mountainside to the Zong Ruave Waterfall, where we have one last but short climb to go before actually reaching the waterfall.
This trek is less strenguous than hiking to the Maenam side because in stead of climbing to the pass to reach the Maenam side we will go down to reach the waterfall.
We advise to wear shoes for this hike to prevent any injuries. The sand can be very slippery when dry so you need a good grip.
The tour will take 2 up to 3 hours depending on our pace and the lengths of our rests.
