Getting there

Tuk-Tuk

To reach Phnom Bokor from Kampot, start by heading to the main street (Street 3) in Kampot. Look for a Tuk-Tuk driver; they are usually found near the market or along the street. Negotiate a fare to Phnom Bokor, which is approximately 30-40 minutes away. The Tuk-Tuk will take you through the countryside and up the mountain road to the entrance of the national park.

Motorbike

If you're comfortable riding a motorbike, rent one from a local shop in Kampot. Head out on Street 3 toward the south until you reach the turn-off for Bokor Mountain. Follow the signs for Phnom Bokor National Park, and be prepared for some steep and winding roads as you ascend. The ride should take about 30-40 minutes.

Bicycle

For the more adventurous, you can rent a bicycle. Start from the main market in Kampot and bike towards the Bokor Mountain road. The ride is challenging due to steep inclines, so ensure you're physically prepared. It will take longer than other transport options, so set aside a few hours. You’ll enjoy the scenic views along the way.
