Day 1: PHNOM PENH-KAMPOT
Leave Phnom Penh for Kampot, 160km to the south of Phnom Penh on Highway 3. On the way visit the pre-Angkor era temples of Tonle Bati and Phnom Chisor as well as the provincial town of Takeo. Continue through beautiful landscape to Kep Beach, once a favourite seaside resort for French and Cambodian residents of Phnom Penh. In the late afternoon continue to Kampot, which retains much of its charm. On a stroll along the riverside and through the center you will see many still intact colonial style houses. Overnight in Kampot.
Day 2: KAMPOT-PHNOM PENH
Early start for a 4-Wheel drive excursion to Bokor Hill Mountain. 12km from Kampot and rising to a height of 1080 metres above sea level is Bokor Hill Station. Part of the range known as the Elephant Mountains, Bokor has a pleasantly cool climate. Visit some of the old French ruins including a former casino, a church and also a former house of the King. Spectacular views of the coast (before the mist rises). Return to Kampot for lunch and transfer back to Phnom Penh.
