Bousra Waterfall: A Natural Gem in Cambodia

Getting There

• Car

  If you are traveling by car, start from the town of Sen Monorom, the capital of Mondulkiri Province. Head southeast on National Road 76 for about 30 kilometers (approximately 45 minutes). Look for signs pointing to Bousra Waterfall. You will need to turn onto a smaller road (follow the signs) leading to the waterfall. The last few kilometers may be on a dirt road, so a vehicle with good clearance is recommended. There is a parking area near the entrance to the waterfall site.

• Motorbike

  For those who prefer a motorbike, the route is similar to driving a car. Start from Sen Monorom and head southeast on National Road 76. After about 30 kilometers, look for signs directing you toward Bousra Waterfall. The dirt road towards the waterfall may be bumpy, so ride carefully. Make sure to wear a helmet and have a valid license. Parking is available at the site.

• Public Transportation (Bus or Minivan)

  If you are using public transportation, you can take a bus or minivan from Sen Monorom to the nearest village to Bousra Waterfall, which is Pech Chreada. Buses leave from the central bus station in Sen Monorom. Once you arrive in Pech Chreada, you may need to hire a local tuk-tuk or motorbike taxi to take you the remaining 10 kilometers to the waterfall. Negotiate the fare beforehand; it should cost around $5 to $10 depending on the distance and your bargaining skills.

• Tuk-tuk

  If you are already in a nearby town and prefer to take a tuk-tuk, you can hire one from Sen Monorom or Pech Chreada. The driver will take you directly to Bousra Waterfall. Make sure to agree on the price before starting your journey; it should be around $10 to $15 for a round trip, including waiting time at the waterfall.
