Chambok Waterfall

Description

Chambok Waterfall is a principal forest-walk destination within the Chambok community outing beside Kirirom. Its flow and trail conditions vary with rainfall.

The community receiving-area reference does not locate the waterfall edge. Ask which route and parts of the walk are suitable on the day.

How to Get There

National Road 4 links Phnom Penh with Chbar Mon and the Kirirom approach at Traeng Trayueng. Travel by car or intercity road transport, then use the road or trail appropriate to the destination.

For Chambok Waterfall, continue toward Chambak community forest. A car or motorbike covers the local road section; use the established approach for the final walk and keep a return vehicle for a countryside outing.

Admission

Entry, parking and activities can be charged separately at recreation sites. A reliable current tariff is not published in the reviewed sources; keep a separate cash allowance for the visit rather than relying on an old quoted price.

Things to Do

Take the guided waterfall walk where open, leaving time for the return and keeping clear of unstable or slippery edges.

What to Eat

Rice dishes, grilled meat and fruit are practical roadside meals. Palm sugar and palm-sugar sweets are characteristic local purchases; carry meals and water for remote hikes.

Where to Stay

Use Chbar Mon or Phnom Penh for lower-country day trips. Kirirom has its own accommodation areas; mountain treks need a planned overnight rather than an improvised roadside camp.

Best Time to Visit

Water flow is usually stronger during and after the rainy season, while the dry season can expose more rock. Visit in daylight and avoid the stream during heavy rain or a sudden rise in water level.

Before You Go

Respect local residents and worshippers. Stay on permitted paths; ask before entering buildings or photographing people. Ask the host about current access and keep away from restricted infrastructure or unsafe water.
