It is the highest rocky mountain in Phu Khiao forest and is 5th highest peak in the Northeast after Phu Luang, Phu Ruea, Khao Laem and Phu Kradueng respectively. There is a wide stone terrace protruding from the cliff, giving a view of the scenery as far as the eyes can see. There are various tourist spots, including savannah, orchid species and wild animals. It is the birthplace of insectivorous plants, Lae Hin Ngerb with overlapping stones like a shed, and Lae Hin Chong, with huge stones stacked on top of each other, starting with only a fist-sized small stone. Conquering the peak of Phu Khing fits an analogy saying that “Four Phu Kradueng is not equal to one Phu Khing.”
