It took me about 30 minutes to get to the top of the trail and another 10 minutes all the way to Big Bhudda. I did the ascent in the middle of the day and it got quite hot, so be prepared and bring some water. Did the descend just before sunset and that was a bit easier and quite a bit faster. Its slippery though.

Like other people mentioned, use decent shoes. Also there are some electrical wires which you should probably avoid.

All in all, nice little adventure.

Not an easy hike, but if you’re up for it it’s a nice and rewarding adventure. The climb is stiff. Bring close shoes for hiking and don’t forget water. The heat in the jungle during the day is harsh. Good luck.

Easy to find the starting point… where the climbing begings, and do note, it is climb all the way up. Route easy to follow. With good pace (and condition) it takes 25-30mins, resting once awhile 35-40mins. From end of the trail it is aprx. 10mins walk to Big Buddha.

Nice bars with great view along the way from trail to Big Buddha. Dont stop the first one, but walk a bit furrher to a smaller idyllic place if you want to enjoy some exceptional views and more cozy feeling.

It is a good challenging hike, ideal in the morning before it gets too hot. I start from Patak Rd Soi 12 and it is approximately 45 minutes to the top end of the trail. Add another 10 minutes if you want to walk from the top end of the trail to the Big Buddha. The trail itself is marked and there are ropes in place to assist in the steep parts.

Took a grab to the trailhead, began my climb and took about a litre of water. Total moving time was 28 mins to the main road, then a 10 min walk to the big Buddha. Even on a dry day the way up and down was slippery and sandy in my running shoes. A lovely jungle hike and the locals are nice and will help if you ask. You will be sweating buckets by the end. Bug spray is helpful. Don’t interact with the monkeys they are thugs

    Excellent trail. Decent level of fitness required. Take water and bug spray. We didn’t see any, but others mention seeing snakes. I wouldnt attempt after heavy rain or during hottest times of day. It’s short (about 1km) and steep (300m elevation gain). Pretty well maintained jungle path, ropes to assist on steepest parts. Arriving at Big Buddha for sunrise or sunset is stunning.

    Great trail, but quite demanding. Be ready to sweat and definitely have sure footing. Nice walking sticks available for the home
