A paradise that was once the playground of the social elites and the Royalties. Bokor Highland Resort is the only highland integrated resort in the Greater Mekong region! The impressive build-up of 60,388 square meters at 1075 meters above sea level is blessed with stunning views of the Gulf of Thailand.

A virgin rainforest with exotic and rich flora and fauna and with an all year round cooling mountain climate of just 20 degrees. The best time to visit is between November to February when it is the coolest as the temperature can drop to the mid tens in the evening.

It is essentially a cool, inviting and stunningly beautiful paradise in Cambodia! Bokor Mountain comes into full play when the mist descends and being able to touch the clouds is simply magical. Specially the waterfall there is so amazing.

Kirirom national park and Chambok waterfall in Cambodia.


Kirirom namely"Mountain of joy"by the King at the suggestion of a monk from Phnom Penh. A hill of 700m covers an area of 35,000 hectares. It is located 112 km from Phnom Penh off National Highway #4 on the road to Sihanoukville. The natural resort is decorated with many categories of pines imported from Japan. Park rangers charge foreigners a 20,000 riel (=$5) entrance fee.







The area is suitable for a day trip from Phnom Penh, but it is also possible to arrange accommodation. Near the main entrance is the rather expensive Kirirom Hillside Resort. A cheaper and friendlier option is the Chambok Ecotourism Site, a successful and sustainable community project.




Chambok Ecotourism site is just next to the Kirirom National Park. Be prepared for some exercise (4 km trek), interaction with local villagers, and discovery of Cambodia's unique natural biodiversity. It's good for hiking or bike rider to reach beautiful waterfall, Some peoples they bring there foods for eating at waterfall.

We can trek the highlands on elephant-back and beat a track on foot to visit local hill-tribe villages; watch miners dig up glittering gemstones from the ground; explore waterfalls and take a dip in a crystal clear lake.


People traveling from Phnom Penh can fly straight to the provincial capital Banlung or travel up the Mekong River by boat. The boat stops in the neighboring province of Stung Treng, where taxis and pick-up trucks are available for the drive to Banlung city of Rattanak Kiri.


Some of the minority Tompoun, Kreung and Charay tribes-people have moved to Banlung, the small town they share with the local Khmer people. Its people are generally very helpful and friendly - they've welcomed enough tourists in recent years to know that foreigners mean business and income. Hotel accommodation is relatively inexpensive, ranging from US$5 to US$15 a night. Banlung also has several good restaurants with extensive menus.


There are many tourist place to travel at Rattanak Kiri, Beung Konseng located North of Banlong city which is said to have several magic properties. And the stunning Yeak Loam volcanic lake also has a lot to offer. Veal Thmor Rom Phlong  is a popular open field about 3 km from the Ochom power station, where local people go to see and be seen in the evenings. The air is constantly cool here - it feels a little like being in a huge open-air auditorium.
