Mondulkiri

Mondulkiri is located to the east of Cambodia. It's bordered to the east by Vietnam Central Highlands, to the north by Ratanakiri and Stung Treng, and to the east by Kratie. Mondulkiri is a hilly and sparsely populated province. With an average elevation of 800m, Mondulkiri has a different climate compared to the other parts of Cambodia. It may gets warm in daytime while turns chilly at night time.

Much of the road system in Mondulkiri is in poor conditions, especially in the rainy season. Once the infrastructure here gets better, Mondulkiri may be the destination for the eco tourists and the adventure travellers alike. People can travel and discover the wild life in the remote parts of the province. There are potential for trekking tours and elephant-riding tours to explore the wild and learn about the life of the local minorities. Some may just want to come here and take some easy sightseeing tours.

Mondulkiri provincial capital is Sen Monorom which is set amid ranges of grass and pine hills. This fresh, quiet and picturesque town is definitely worth a few day trips, be it to visit the surrounding ethnic communities, to get relaxed at the many pleasant waterfalls to just to take in the fesh air of the surroundings. Sen Monrom is 370km from Phnom Penh, 250 km from Kampong Cham and 220km from Kratie.
