Recently, the Department of Highways invited road users to experience traveling along the national highway route heading to Phu Phan National Park, an important conservation tourism site in the Northeast region covering areas in Sakon Nakhon and Kalasin provinces.

The weather is cool and comfortable with beautiful views along both sides of the road.
Phu Phan National Park features a blend of mountainous beauty, forest, and natural attractions such as Kham Hom Waterfall, especially spectacular when water flow is high, nature trails, and viewpoints along the Phu Phan mountain range. These offer visitors opportunities to relax, learn about ecosystems, and immerse themselves in the quiet natural atmosphere. Along the route, travelers can enjoy the charm of a road trip through winding mountain roads, notably the serpent-curling curve, a highlight surrounded by forest and mountain ridges, creating an impressive driving experience. Visitors can also appreciate views of rice fields, mountains, and local communities along the way. The park includes a camping ground for those wishing to stay overnight in nature and concludes with watching the sunset from a viewpoint on the mountain ridge, overlooking the complex forest and mountain landscape, reflecting the beautiful and warm allure of nature tourism along the highway.
