Up to two-thirds of its area is occupied by mountains covered with manifold forests. while its districts (Amphoe) are located on narrow agricultural valleys. A sea of mountains encircles Loei on all but one side.
       A Sea of mountains encircles Loei on almost all sides. The Western Phetchabun range separates Loei from Phitsanulok and Phetchabun. from the western districts of Na Haeo and Dan Sai to the southern districts of Phu Luang and Phu Kradueng. Well-known peaks on this range are Phu Kradueng. Phu Ruea and Phu Luang. the first two of which have been designated national parks. while the latter is a wildlife sanctuary. The Loei River and The Man River are the major sources of water supply of the province. originate from this fertile range.
