Discover more about Pine Tree Plantation

Located on the highlands in the Sen Monorom district, approximately 6 kilometers from the provincial town, the Pine Tree Plantation presents a striking contrast to the typical Cambodian landscape. This expansive area features hundreds of pine trees, planted before 1970, standing tall in orderly rows. The ground is covered with a thick layer of fallen pine needles, creating a unique golden carpet. The plantation offers a tranquil and picturesque environment, ideal for relaxation and photography. Visitors can lie on the soft bed of needles, enjoying the peaceful atmosphere and the scent of pine. The towering trees provide shade and a sense of seclusion, making it a refreshing escape from the warmer climate of other regions in Cambodia. The pine trees are believed to have been planted before Prince Norodom Sihanouk established his Sangkum Reastr Niyum regime, marking the creation of the Mondulkiri province. This historical context adds another layer of interest to the site, connecting it to the region's development and identity.
