Darad Valley is in Muak Lek, a rural area of Khao Yai in Saraburi province, where hills, forest and waterfalls make up much of the landscape. It is a quiet base for visitors who want to be among the hills rather than in a town centre. Most visitors come here for the national park, the waterfalls and the open air, rather than for nightlife. The views from the property are of mountains or of gardens.

The most interesting nearby places are waterfalls, and they are the main reason to head out from the property. Muak Lek Waterfall is 4 km from the property, and the Chet Sao Noi Waterfall, which has several levels, is 5.7 km away. The Wat Ched Sao Noi pagoda is in the same area, and Muaklek railway station is 3 km away, which is useful if you travel by train.

Heo Suwat Waterfall is one of the next stops for a day out in the Khao Yai hills, and the Khao Yai Art Museum gives a different kind of day out from the waterfalls. From Bangkok, Don Mueang Airport is 105.3 km away, so a transfer by road is a longer trip, and the rest of the route is through the countryside around Khao Yai.
