Know before you go

Entry is free but donations are welcomed. Dress respectfully with shoulders and knees covered; sarongs are provided on loan at the entrance. The access road is steep and winding. Visit in the morning for clearer views and cooler temperatures.

How to reach

The Big Buddha sits atop the Nakkerd Hills, reached via a six-kilometre road climbing from Chalong. Hire a taxi, scooter or join a tour, as there is no public transport directly to the summit.
