The Phu Hin Rong Kla National Park is in the area around the mountain.[3] The park overlaps the borders of further two provinces, Phitsanulok and Phetchabun.[4] Most of the mountain is covered in mixed evergreen forest and there are also some farms on its slopes where the climate conditions favor cabbage farming.[5] The area around the mountain is part of the Luang Prabang montane rain forests ecoregion.
