Haew Narok Waterfall is a large 3-tiered waterfall located in Khao Yai National Park on the side of Nakhon Nayok Province. From the height of each level not less than 50 meters, it can be seen that the total height of this waterfall is definitely not less than 150 meters.
The origin of the name Haew Narok Waterfall ("Ravine hell waterfall") because of the nature of the enormous mass of water falling from a high cliff. Hiding in a ravine, it looks mysterious and terrifying at the same time, but it is one of the charms that makes people want to see the beauty of this waterfall.

The part that is open to the general public is only the first floor, while the 2nd and 3rd floors are not open to the general public because they are steeper and are the area of evergreen forest. Moreover, there are wild animals that are active all the time, so it is not suitable for tourists to enter, but even so, they should travel carefully when walking. Do not climb, make loud noises, or do anything that poses a risk of danger.
