Best national parks in Cambodia

Cambodia declared most of its national parks together in 1993, and the four here are all short trips from the places visitors already go. Phnom Kulen, north-east of Siem Reap, is the sacred mountain where the Khmer empire was proclaimed in 802: a riverbed carved with a thousand lingas, a large reclining Buddha cut from a boulder, and a waterfall with a swimming pool beneath it. The road up is one-way by time of day, so tours leave early.

Kirirom, between Phnom Penh and the coast, is an upland pine forest, an unexpected sight in the tropics and a cool weekend retreat. Kep is a small hill park behind the seaside town, circled by an eight-kilometre track with sea views, and Ream, near Sihanoukville, combines mangrove boat trips with beaches, though development has cut into it in recent years. November to February is cool and dry; the falls on Kulen are fullest from July to November.
