Mondulkiri
A cool plateau in eastern Cambodia, where rolling grasslands, waterfalls and elephant conservation projects attract eco-travelers.
Mondulkiri Province lies in eastern Cambodia, bordering Vietnam, and is one of the country's largest but most sparsely populated provinces. The plateau terrain makes the climate relatively cool, with hilly grasslands and forests interspersed, and the indigenous Bunong people have lived here for generations. Around the provincial capital, Sen Monorom, there are waterfalls such as Bou Sra, as well as conservation projects focused on observing and caring for elephants, making it good for hiking and ecotourism. The dry season from November to March is best. You can travel here by road from Phnom Penh.
