Adventures in Mondulkiri

Mondulkiri is a beautiful province located on the East of Cambodia and very different to the rest of the country.

While most of the landscape around the Kingdom of Wonder is made of rice fields, Mondulkiri is a mountainous region with lush jungle, impressive wildlife and hilltribes where the progress hasn't arrived yet.

In our last trip to Mondulkiri, we could enjoy a visit to a traditional Phnong village

The Phnong hilltribe keeps living as they did in the ancient times.

We met a 90something years old weaving a new beautiful scarf. It takes a whole week to have it ready to wear!

Water buffalos and oxes are used among the Phnong hilltribe.

Elephants and tigers are some of the animals you can find on the wild.

There are many waterfalls in the sorroundings of the capital, Sen Monorum, like Boo Sra. Worths a visit!

In Mondulkiri there are also some coffee plantation. Don't forget to try a local iced coffee with milk.

We also met some buddhist monks. They loved taking pictures and asked us to take some with them.

Merry Travel organises trips to Mondulkiri that include hilltribe visits, waterfalls, elephant trekking, hiking in the jungle, visits to coffee plantation and sea forest...
