Kep National Park
ឧទ្យានជាតិកែប
A forest trail circling Kep's hill, about 8 km around, with views of Rabbit Island and Vietnam's Phu Quoc Island.
Kep National Park covers the small hill behind Kep town. An 8-kilometer loop trail circles the hill, with signposts and several viewpoints along the way. On clear days you can see Koh Tonsay (Rabbit Island), the Gulf of Thailand, and Phu Quoc Island across the water in Vietnam. Most of the trail is gentle, and the loop takes about 2 to 3 hours. Along the way you may spot macaques, butterflies, and many birds. The Sunset Viewpoint is a popular spot in the evening. The park entrance is on the north side of Kep town, and there is a small entry fee. The café near the entrance can give you a trail map. Wear running shoes and bring plenty of water. In the rainy season the paths get slippery and leeches are common. After the hike, you can walk down to the Crab Market for a meal.
