Mondulkiri is located at the southern end of Ratanakiri province. Known for its eco-tourism, the natural attractions found here is no less than those found in its northern neighbor with its rolling hills and pine trees and most of the residents living here come from the Pnong minority.

 

One of Cambodia's famous and largest waterfall is located here. Bursa Falls, which is thirty kilometers away from Sen Monorom (the provincial capital city of Mondulkiri), is a double drop into a jungle gorge. Other popular waterfalls found here are the Monorom Falls, Romanear Waterfall and the Dak Dam Waterfall. One of the main activities that is popular among tourists is exploring the various paths located here although most paths end up in chunchiet villages.

 

The scene here is astonishing. You can also opt for an elephant ride here if you are game enough in villages such as Putang and Phulung. This remote area can be reached by air from the country's capital.
