Moon Mountain – Sacred Pilgrimage to the Dawn
Once a year, during March and April, pilgrims and travelers gather in Lopburi Province to ascend the Moon Mountain (Khao Wong Phrachan) — a sacred site known for its miraculous energy.
According to ancient belief, those who climb the 3,790 steps before sunrise will come under the auspices of the Moon, gaining wisdom, good fortune, and peace of mind for the year ahead.
The mountain rises 699 meters, and the ascent, though long, is gentle and scenic. Every few hundred steps, you can pause to rest, admire the view, and quench your thirst. The closer to the top, the higher the price of a bottle of water.
At the summit lies the imprint of the Buddha, a revered shrine nestled among the rocks. Monkeys inhabit the area, and from the top, you will enjoy breathtaking views of the Golden Buddha statue and the surrounding Lopburi landscape.
Watching the first light of dawn from this holy peak is a truly unforgettable and spiritual experience.
After the Ascent
Following a hearty breakfast, the group visits one of Thailand’s most significant sacred sites — Wat Phra Phutthabat, the Temple of the Buddha’s Footprint, one of the five in the world.
Buddhists believe that performing a ritual here brings forgiveness, success, and happiness.
