Detailed itinerary

This is a very large area, many acres, with big rocks jutting straight up out of the ground; a kind of microcosm of the Cambodian countryside. This immense national park in Kampot Province covers an area of 1,400 km² and incorporates mountains, ruins and old French colonial settlements

This large statue is easy to find as you make your way up the mountain. It's called ''Yeay Mao Monument'' and is great for a few snaps. I captured some beautiful shots as the sky turned blue.

Very very good atmosphere and environment here. You can enjoy the cool air here and fog everywhere in this area. This old casino was painted to another color, so it doesn't look original. You cannot have meals in this area. There are more available parking spaces. Free to entrance.

Had an amazing bike trip through Bokor Mountain to reach Sampov Pram Pagoda. What an amazing place! It's one place that should be visited if you have a hours or more to spare. Make sure you take a jacket because it can get chilly at the top.

Beautiful. Nice place to stop on the way up/down from Bokor Hill Station. Lots of abandoned buildings up there and temples. The waterfall is beautiful. We went mid week so was nice a quiet but apparently very busy spot on weekends.

Very beautiful especially with colder weather as the fogs will appear! Probably worth a visit!

Very interesting cave! I think entry has been formalized now, as there's a proper booth and some info boards too. A very old shrine inside the cave, pre-Angkor period. There are proper stairs, so everyone can get in. Nice views can be seen from the top

What's not included

During the tour, lunches are available at local restaurants with both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. Meals are at your own expense, with menu prices ranging from $3–$10 per dish.
