Although thousands and thousands of tourists turn to Cambodia from around the world, but many don’t expect the place to offer such stunning natural spectacles as it does. But if you are visiting Cambodia, and are missing out on its beautiful national parks, then you surely are missing an important part of this trip. Only visiting the national parks and the protected areas can really offer you a close view of the natural treasures of the country, and that is why many tourists try to plan their itinerary accordingly. You will find most of the national parks in the Southern Coast provinces of the country.

The Cambodian South Coast features a number of national parks due to its spectacular geographical features. For those who are most interested in the beaches of Cambodia, the Sihanoukville province will surely be their preference. In this province, you can find one of the most spectacular national parks in the country called the Ream National Park, which was not established long ago in order to preserve the mangrove forests and the wildlife of the region. This protected area is like a paradise for the ornithologist, as it contains no less than 150 bird species, so make sure you bring your camera along. Ream National Park also features a thriving population of monkeys.

In the neighboring Koh Kong province, covering the Cardamom Mountains, is located probably the most important ecotourism area in the country, known collectively as the Koh Kong Conservation Corridor. The Botum Sakor National Park, which is a part of this huge protected area, features beautiful beaches and mangrove forests, features a variety of wildlife including the gibbon, various bird species, elephants and leopards among others. You can enjoy the natural beauty of Botum Sakor conveniently by hiring a boat from Sihanoukville. In the neighboring Kampong Speu province, the Kirirom National Park is also famous for its rich wildlife attractions, and is popular among tourists for recreational activities.

While you move towards the east in the small coastal province of Kep, the Kep National Park is also well-known for its natural beauty and can be accessed by those who want to visit the beaches of the province, particularly if a visit to the Rabbit Island is a part of your itinerary. The Kep National Park mainly consists of mangrove forests covered mountains in the region. The Preah Monivong or the Bokor National Park in the neighboring Kampot province is also popular due to the abandoned colonial town of Bokor Hill Station. The Bokor National Park is a spectacular and relatively colder protected area, and is home to a number of animals of endangered species such as the Indochinese tiger.

If the focus of your trip to Cambodia is on the Angkor Wat, then you can also use the opportunity to visit the Phnom Kulen National Park, which is less than fifty miles from the most famous temple complex of the world. The park is named after the sacred Kulen Mountains, which are among the most sacred sites to the Khmer people in the country. The Phnom Kulen Park features Hindu temples and a hilltop Buddhist pagoda along with a reclining statue of Buddha, the Elephant pond and a magnificent waterfall, and is worth visiting by all means. So, whatever may be your interests in Cambodia, you can always take some time out to visit one of its many national parks to truly explore the beauty of the region.
