Kampot, a tranquil riverside town in southern Cambodia, offers a refreshing change of pace from the country’s busier cities. For your first time setting foot in Kampot, you might be in awe of the spectacular nature here. The towering trees combined with the vast green rice fields will make you feel like lost in another world. The colonial buildings preserved through generations is also a highlight that attracts history lovers, making it a must-visit among places to visit in Cambodia.
One of the top things to do in Kampot is explore the iconic Bokor Mountain. Located about 10km from the city, this national park is home to an abandoned French hill station, a misty jungle, and panoramic views of the coast. Bokor Mountain has a cool, fresh climate. Behind the plateau are cool streams with flows from upstream. Thanks to this stream, Bokor mountains’ flowers and plants flourish, creating a beautiful landscape painting at Bokor Mountain.
For a more relaxing experience, we suggest a Kampot tour along the serene Preaek Tuek Chhu River. Sunset boat cruises offer stunning countryside views, while kayaking and paddleboarding provide a more active way to explore the waterways. This land is also famous for durian, a signature tropical fruit in Southeast Asia. Make sure to try this fruit at a local market!
