Srae Ampil Waterfall

Description

Srae Ampil is a forest waterfall outing in the Kdol area of Teuk Phos. Recent reporting places it in Kdol Senchey and describes its community tourism setting.

Its appeal is the stream, rocks and forest surroundings. Water volume and the usable paths vary, so plan the visit around current community advice rather than the appearance of an older video.

How to Get There

From Phnom Penh, travel north on National Road 5 to Kampong Chhnang by bus, minivan or car. The town is the road base for Roleabier and Teuk Phos, with separate river routes toward lake communities.

For Srae Ampil Waterfall, continue toward Kdol, Kdol Senchey, Teuk Phos. 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

Enjoy the cascade from a stable bank and take a short community-approved walk in the surrounding landscape. Ask the host which rocks and paths can be used.

What to Eat

Freshwater fish, rice-noodle soup and rice with cooked vegetables are practical meals in town. Buy drinking water and picnic supplies before continuing to the hills or lake.

Where to Stay

Stay in Kampong Chhnang town for the market, riverfront and onward day trips. A visit to a lake village does not require sleeping on a floating house.

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

Do not enter fast water or assume that a pool shown in a video is suitable for swimming. Keep the stream clean and carry waste back out.
