Sen Monorom
Perched at around 800m in Cambodia's remote northeast, Sen Monorom is the laid-back capital of Mondulkiri province — a hill-country town of red dirt roads, pine-dotted grasslands and cool mountain air that feels worlds away from the Cambodian lowlands. It's best known as the gateway to ethical elephant sanctuaries, jungle waterfalls, and the indigenous Bunong communities who call these forested highlands home.
