Senmonorom Halal Travel Guide

Sen Monorom lies at an altitude of 800 m which makes it a little bit cooler than Phnom Penh, especially at night.

The city is rapidly developing and so is the tourist industry. You will not find untouched or unspoiled nature or ethnic groups. But even though you might not be the first tourist to lay your eyes on Sen Monorom it is probably one of the least visited areas in Cambodia and many of the ethic groups still live much as they always have, but this may soon end if the tourist industry keeps growing.

Travel to Senmonorom

Road to Sen Monorom - The road towards Sen Monorom.

The east—west linking Sen Monorom to Phnom Penh via the junction town of Snuol (head north from here for Kratie, Stung Treng and Ratanakiri; head south for Loc Ninh in Vietnam) and Kampong Cham is in good shape. The journey to Phnom Penh takes 7-8 hours and costs around USD8-10. Minivans cost $12 and take about 5 hours.

The north road to Ban Lung in Ratanikiri is passable in the dry season, but not too fun in the wet season. The best route is still the long way round via Katie, but that may change.

Get Around

The centre of Sen Monorom is quite small and can be explored on foot, but a bicycle can also be a lot of fun. However if you want to venture off into the forest then the easiest way to get around is on a motorbike.

What to see in Senmonorom

There is not much to see in the city. There is a small market next to the bus station. This is the gateway to Mondulkiri Province, a unique part of Cambodia. Sen Monorom is not tourist and has jungle, rolling grass fields, hill tribes, waterfalls, and winding dirt roads.

• Sea Forest A bare mountain not far from Sen Monorom that has great views of the surrounding landscape. Vietnam, jungle, and other provinces can be seen from the top.

• Market A small part of the market is obvious from the paved road entering town, but taking an alleyway reveals a small maze of wooden shacks and stalls full of fresh food and other goods. It is busy in the morning and a good place to get good quality food.

Best things to do in Senmonorom

• Biking It is feasible to rent mountain bikes, motorbikes (USD8 a day), and dirt bikes in the city and these can be acquired at The Greenhouse (talk to Sam Sang), Holiday Guesthouse, Happy Elephant Bungalows, and Sovankiri Guesthouse. The guide who works at "The Middle of Somewhere" is an old Khmer Rouge soldier, and he has a sterling reputation for getting people off the beaten track to places where visitors rarely go.

• Borsa Waterfall Two large waterfalls, one below the other. They are both impressive, especially in the rainy season. The first is 30 m in height and the second is 40 meters. You can walk up to both waterfalls and swim and go behind them depending on the season. There is a path that goes around the waterfalls that is about 1 km. Local native costumes can be rented for a dollar and a picture taken for a dollar as well.

• Elephants To get up and close with elephants that roam free in the natural habitat, it is feasible to spend a day and/or night at the Elephant Valley Project where you will be able to see how this NGO takes local sick and abused elephants and reintroduces them to their natural habitat. You cannot ride them, but can walk with them as they graze the forest and grasslands. An alternative to the more normal Asian training of riding elephants and these mahouts do not ride or beat their elephants, but guide them through the day's routines with an impressive display of voice commands. It can be arranged by Mr Bill at "The Middle of Somewhere" next to the Greenhouse and not far from the roundabout. The Middle of Somewhere also offers tours and homestays. If you volunteer for the day the cost is USD25. All money goes to saving more elephants.

• Guided Tours You can join many available tours which are sold by the majority of the guesthouses in Sen Monorom. Most take you to see the Bunong Hill tribe villages in the small surrounding villages including the provinces many waterfalls. You can also go hiking in the surrounding forests, but sadly there is not much left due to rampant logging. Do not expect to see any animals as poaching is widespread. With that said, most animals come out at night and a night of trekking can be arranged which has been said to have plenty of wildlife sightings.

• Mondulkiri Project - Trekking, elephant sanctuary, | This is a not-for-profit venture aiming to protect forests from logging, has established an elephant sanctuary and plans to start an elephant breeding program. Their one day elephant adventure tour allows you to feed, touch, walk with and swim with elephants at a waterfall in the jungle. No elephant riding.
