Nestled amongst rolling hills, green meadows and lush forests lies Sen Monorom, the tiny capital of Mondulkiri.
Life here takes on a slower pace than elsewhere in Cambodia and the small market in the centre of town is the bustling hub of the community.
Sen Monorom is an excellent starting point for numerous mini-adventures that explore the region.
Elephant trekking
Mondulkiri is most famous for elephant trekking and the small villages of Phulung and Putang, just outside Sen Monorom, are the starting point for treks that vary in length from two hours to two days. Shorter treks journey through small villages and into the fringes of theforest, whilst longer options venture deep into the jungle past refreshing waterfalls where few visitors go.
Bou Sraa Waterfalls
The mighty Bou Sraa Waterfalls are the largest and most famous in Cambodia, and are celebrated in song throughout the country, despite most Cambodians never having visited them.
Local culture
Many ethnic minority villages can be visited in Mondulkiri and this is an eye-opening experience. For example, the hill tribes of Mondulkiri enjoy a different culture to those in other provinces and this is evident in the unique architecture of their homes and communal lifestyle.
While accommodation options here are basic, new guesthouses are constantly opening. We recommend at least three nights in Sen Monorom to fully appreciate the hidden delights of this province.
