is made up of mountain ranges to the northwest of
town about 1174 metres above mean sea level covered in the
main by deciduous plants. Very cold during November-February,
it once was the base from which communist insurgents conducted
their struggles against the authorities during 1968-1982.
Today it is accessible via two routes; off Highway No.12
(Phitsanulok-Lom Sak) at Ban Camp Son with a further distance
of 30 kilometres of off highway No.21 at Ban Na Ngua, about
13 kilometres from town with a further distance of 30 kilometres.
Both routes wind through considerably steep terrain. Interesting
places include various viewing points, remains of communist
bases and buildings, containing Holy Relic and the Si
Dit waterfall.
