Waterfall sights in Koh Kong Conservation Corridor

  1. Stung Phong Roul Waterfall

    Although well off the beaten path, this is one of Cambodia's most spectacular waterfalls, with five big drops arrayed around a vertiginous curve in the river. Clambering around is tough but worth it, as there are some good swimming holes at the right time of year.

    The uppermost waterfall is a dramatic 10m high. Flat rock ledges border clear, surprisingly cool pools and are ideal for a romantic picnic. If you sit quietly with your feet in the water, little fish - God knows how they got up here - may nibble your toes.

  3. Koh Por Waterfall

    Upriver from Krong Koh Kong, these rapids pour over a stone shelf in a lovely jungle gorge. It's great to clamber around here in the dry season, as there are immense boulders to use as stepping stones. A speedboat from Krong Koh Kong (one hour) costs about 1600B. By long-tail boat the trip takes three hours each way and costs 1200B.
