Welcome to MONDULKIRI
|
This province is chock full of natural
beauty, with thickly forested mountains, powerful waterfalls and the
lush green rolling hills of the western side. Add to that the
communities of hill tribe people who are not affected by
mass-tourism, as they are in neighboring Thailand, and you have an
area that is very attractive to the adventure traveler. The town of
Sen Monorom is the best base camp for travelers who want to explore
the surrounding areas. |
 |
A quiet but beautiful town nestled into the hills; it has a lot of potential
to develop into a center for non-intrusive eco-tourism. At present, it’s
very undeveloped, which gives you a feeling of going somewhere off the
beaten tourist trail. Also interesting is the variety of languages being
used: Khmer, hill tribe languages, Vietnamese and Laos.
