Tagong Grassland Ridgeline Hiking
In the morning, your guide will come to your hotel and start to walk from Tagong by a visit to the Buddhist school for around 30 minutes before hiking starts. The walk is difficult for the first bit when the terrain is steep up. After the first bit it gets easier with more gradual ascents and descents on the ridgeline. Views from the ridge are worth the hard walking. You will have the bird view of Tagong and Tagong Grassland, big mountains including Minya Konka Range, Lamoshe Mountains, and Yala Mountains. Total walking around 14-20km for around 7-8 hours. It's in general a hard walk in Tagong. By the end of the hiking you will drop down to a village and be picked up and send back to your hotel in Tagong. Please note you may also choose to do it the other way round which is normally less challenging by driving out first to higher place and then walk on the ridgeline descending for most of the time instead of walking up.
Remember to have a day pack with you to take necessary items for the day hiking, including packed lunch by yourself, drinking water recommended 1L minimum, sunglasses, rainproof, warm-keeping clothes and hat, sun block and lip oil, etc. Note the warm-clothing and rainproof (for both yourself and your pack) may not be used while hiking but since weather changes quickly and hard to predict in Tagong, it's wise to bring these items with you all the time.
