    10 Best Waterfalls in Cambodia

    Cambodia's waterfalls are among Southeast Asia's most underrated natural wonders. Hidden in dense jungle, flowing off ancient plateaus, and often completely empty of tourists, these cascades reward those who venture beyond the temples.

    What are the best waterfalls in Cambodia?

    Bou Sra Falls (Mondulkiri) is the most spectacular — a two-tier 25m cascade in pristine jungle. Tatai Waterfall (Koh Kong) is the most accessible wilderness fall. Popokvil Falls (Kampot/Bokor) is easiest to reach from the coast.

    #1

    Bou Sra Waterfall

    Cambodia's Tallest Falls
    Mondulkiri Province

    Cambodia's most impressive waterfall — a spectacular two-tier cascade dropping 25 meters into a jungle pool. The surrounding Bunong indigenous area adds cultural depth.

    💡 Insider Tip: Visit in rainy season (Jul–Oct) for maximum flow. The upper tier requires a steep hike.

    #2

    Tatai Waterfall

    Jungle River Access
    Koh Kong Province

    A wide jungle waterfall accessible by boat through pristine Cardamom rainforest. The boat ride through the jungle is as spectacular as the falls themselves.

    💡 Insider Tip: Stay at Tatai River's 4 Rivers Floating Lodge for the full experience. Best in wet season.

    #3

    Popokvil Waterfall

    Mountain Falls
    Bokor, Kampot

    Twin cascades at 1,080m elevation in Bokor National Park. Easy access from the Bokor road and surrounded by cool mountain forest.

    💡 Insider Tip: Combine with Bokor Hill Station ghost town visit. Water flow peaks Aug–Nov.

    #4

    Ka Tieng Waterfall

    Natural Swimming Pool
    Ratanakiri Province

    A beautiful jungle waterfall near Banlung with a natural swimming pool. Popular with locals on weekends but empty on weekdays.

    💡 Insider Tip: Visit on weekdays for a private experience. Entry fee $1. Bring snacks.

    #5

    Kbal Chhay Waterfall

    Closest to the Beach
    Sihanoukville

    The most accessible waterfall from the coast, located 16km from Sihanoukville city center. Multiple tiers with picnic areas and swimming spots.

    💡 Insider Tip: Weekends are packed with local families. Weekday mornings are peaceful.

    #6

    Chrey Thom Waterfall

    Off-the-Beaten-Path
    Mondulkiri Province

    A lesser-known Mondulkiri fall requiring a trek through indigenous Bunong villages. The journey is as rewarding as the destination.

    💡 Insider Tip: Hire a local Bunong guide ($10–$15). The trek takes 2–3 hours each way.

    #7

    Lumphat Falls

    Remote Wilderness
    Ratanakiri Province

    A remote waterfall in the former provincial capital area, surrounded by dense jungle and accessed via dirt roads. True wilderness Cambodia.

    💡 Insider Tip: Only accessible in dry season (Nov–May). A motorbike or 4WD is essential.

    #8

    Kulen Waterfall

    Sacred Mountain Falls
    Phnom Kulen, Siem Reap

    A sacred waterfall on the holy mountain of Phnom Kulen, combined with ancient river carvings and a massive reclining Buddha statue.

    💡 Insider Tip: Entry is $20 (not on Angkor Pass). Go on weekdays — packed on Cambodian weekends.

    #9

    O'Tasoam Waterfall

    Multi-Day Trek Only
    Koh Kong Province

    Deep in the Cardamom Mountains, this remote waterfall requires a multi-day trek. For serious adventurers only — completely untouched nature.

    💡 Insider Tip: Arrange through Chi Phat community tourism. 2–3 day trek with camping.

    #10

    Romchek 5 Falls

    Five Falls in One
    Mondulkiri Province

    Five consecutive falls on a single river, each with its own swimming hole. A full day of waterfall hopping in pristine northeastern jungle.

    💡 Insider Tip: A full day trip from Sen Monorom. Hire a local guide and motorbike.
