Kampot Essentials

Kampot’s landscape is defined by the Preah Monivong Bokor National Park and the Praek Tuek Chhu River. This collection features the 1920s French colonial architecture of Le Bokor Palace and the abandoned Catholic church atop Bokor Mountain. It includes the 7th-century cave temple of Phnom Chhngok and the limestone formations of Kbal Romeas. Local commerce is represented by the historic Old Market and the bustling Phsar Leur, while natural sites like Popokvil Waterfall offer views of the region's misty highlands.
