Kirirom National Park

Pine forests cover the eastern slopes of Cardamom Mountains at elevations of 600 to 750 meters, creating a mountain environment in Kirirom National Park.

King Monivong named the area Kirirom in the 1930s, and the site became one of Cambodia's first protected areas when established as a national park in 1993.

Local families gather in the park during weekends to share meals near waterfalls and participate in traditional Khmer celebrations throughout the year.

The national park stands 112 kilometers from Phnom Penh along National Road 4, with several guesthouses and camping areas available for overnight stays.

The high-altitude location creates a microclimate that maintains cooler temperatures than surrounding regions, supporting distinct plant and animal species.
