Kirirom National Park

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kirirom National Park is a national park of Cambodia, located 112km from Phnom Penh off National Highway 4 on the road to Sihanoukville.

Lying at 675m (2,215 ft) above sea level, Kirirom was Cambodia's first officially designated national park[1].

It contains many footpaths through the forests with a number of small lakes and waterfalls and was once used as a refuge by the Khmer Rouge[2].

Kirirom is now a popular recreation site. Within driving distance of Phnom Penh, on weekends a significant number of people travel to the park. Many vendors sell various types of food, though some visitors prefer to bring picnic lunches.
