Kirirom Hillside Resort

;
room/bungalow from US$50/65;
)
Much more upscale, the Kirirom Hillside Resort is located down the hill near
the park entrance and the junction to Chambok commune. Attractive if dysfunctional
Scandinavian-style bungalows, some with glorious balconies overlooking a small lake,
dot the sprawling grounds. There's a nice pool, a hit-or-miss restaurant, a zoo and even a
plastic-dinosaur park. Beware: advertised services like horseback riding, wi-fi and
mountain-bike rental are rarely available.

Getting There & Away
Kirirom National Park is accessed from the village of Treng Trayern, which straddles the
NH4 87km southwest of Phnom Penh and 139km northeast of Sihanoukville. A taxi from
either city is about US$60, or have a bus drop you off at the turnoff in Treng Trayern,
where
motos
demand a stiff $5 per person to get you to the entrance (a bit more to Cham-
bok commune, and still more to ascend into the park proper). Bringing your own transport
is highly recommended.
