Bokor National Park


Bokor National Park


21
This 1581-sq-km national park is famed for its abandoned French hill station, refreshingly cool climate and lush primary rainforest. Threatened animals that live in the park include the tiger (photographed in the last decade with camera traps), leopard, Indian elephant, Asiatic black bear, Malayan sun bear, pileated gibbon, pig-tailed macaque, slow loris and pangolin.44
A new road up to the old hill station has been completed and is open to the public, while an ambitious resort project at the summit, including a golf course and casino, was well under way when we visited. The big construction works undoubtedly spoil the ambience at the hill station, but the day and overnight treks that have long been a staple of tourism in the park remain popular.
The main attraction in Bokor National Park is the old French hill station at 1,080m which can be visited as a day trip from Kampot orSihanoukville.

History

Bokor Hill Station was built by the French in the 1920s to be used as a retreat from the heat of the plains, a pre-air phnom-bokor-15conditionning strategy familiar in all of Asia. The Old French Palace is a hauntingly beautiful colonial building constructed by French settlers in 1917 and completed in 1925 for the French social elites who were living in Cambodia and needed an escape from the humidity and heat of Phnom Penh. In the 1950s and 60s, the Old French Palace was used as a casino during the time of Prince Sihanouk. It is frequently used as a movie location, the most famous being City of Ghosts, starring Matt Dillon.

Flora and fauna

Nepenthis Flower,Wild Elephant and Tiger.

Climate

Temperatures in Bokor are lower than in Phnom Penh or Kampot, generally staying in the 15-25 ¬¬C range. On a clear day, 12there are stunning views down into the valley, Kampot town scenery, coastline of Kampot and Sihanouk Ville. In rainy season, it is swathed in rolling clouds and visibility drops to zero. However, you still can find the fun moment as it is remain only in very short time.phnom-bokor-2533

It is possible to reach the park either by road (it is actually being built) or by boat, although the latter is a better option to access to the flood plains, thick mangroves and the deserted beaches of the park.

The entrance to the park is free of charge but once there you will need to pay a ranger about US$5 per day.
When should I go, and how long do I need?

Going from Kompot City to the Kompot District of Kompung Trach, one of the most populated areas of Kompot, the N33 road crosses the territory of Kep Province.
37The N33A road is the main road of the province and it is connected to N33 in two points: At the White Horse Monument and at the Damnak Chang Aeur Village. The N33A goes around the National Park, following the coastline, being the province mainly a small peninsula. The National Park area is made of 50 square kilometers, located just at the center of the province, composed by hills. The Park includes the third part of the Province territory and the sea areas are not officially included.

Population

The whole province has a population of 35,753 inhabitants (17,753 males and 17,674 females), according to 2008 official census. 12The province is composed by a single city of the same name, Kep City or Krong Kep, and two districts : Kep and Damnak Chang Aeur.
The city hall is located in the Kep City, at the east of the Peninsula. Although it keeps old buildings of the French influence and even destroyed former mansions as a sign of the last Cambodian conflicts, it is a small town that depends its economy from the nearby city of Kompot.1
The province economy is mainly composed by fishing (crabs are nationally famous) and tourist resorts.
The Kep National Park is a lovely place for those who love ecology. It is strictly forbidden to get exotic animals of plants out of the park or to make activities that can endangered the habitat.
