Kio Lom Cave in Nan Province is located within Doi Phu Kha National Park, near Ban Nam Pua Phatthana, Moo 12, Phu Kha Subdistrict, Pua District. The cave is part of the forest and mountain landscape of Doi Phu Kha, making it suitable for travelers who enjoy quiet nature routes, cave exploration, and highland scenery. The distance from Pua District Office to Kio Lom Cave is about 31.5 km.

 

Ban Nam Pua Phatthana is a highland community connected with trekking routes, waterfalls, and natural attractions within Doi Phu Kha National Park. Because of this setting, Kio Lom Cave is best visited as part of a broader nature route rather than as a casual roadside stop. Visitors can experience forest scenery, local community atmosphere, and the cool mountain environment of Nan Province.

 

The name “Kio Lom” suggests a windy mountain pass or narrow highland area where air moves through the terrain. This type of landscape is commonly associated with cool weather, forest humidity, and mountain scenery. The cave and its surroundings are therefore suitable for travelers who want to explore the natural side of Pua District.

 

Because detailed public information about the cave interior is limited, visitors should contact Doi Phu Kha National Park staff or the Ban Nam Pua Phatthana community before visiting. Local guidance is recommended to confirm the route, safety conditions, and access permission before entering the cave area.

 

The road from Pua District toward Phu Kha Subdistrict and Ban Nam Pua Phatthana passes through mountain terrain.
