The exodus begins around 30 minutes before sunset and continues for over an hour, with the bats pouring out in a continuous undulating ribbon that spirals thousands of meters into the sky in swirling columns visible for kilometers around. Resident bat hawks and other raptors dive repeatedly through the stream to pick off individual bats in dramatic aerial hunts. Visitors gather on the hillside road and in the fields below with binoculars and cameras.

The park shelters significant biodiversity including elephants, leopards, sun bears, gibbons, and hundreds of bird species across its montane forests. Key attractions include panoramic cliff-edge viewpoints over the Gulf of Thailand, Popokvil Waterfall, Black Lake, and the ruins of the abandoned French hill station.
