Kep Tours

The small, sleepy town of Kep was founded in the early 1900s during the French colonial period, and towards the ’60s, it was developed into a luxury beach resort town, welcoming laidback visitors to its warm seashores. Things came to a crashing halt when the Khmer Rouge swept into power and most of the villas were abandoned, but thankfully today the town is once again on the rise. The town is best explored by tuk-tuk traveling along the picturesque coastline, stopping at the markets, a fishing village and salt fields to see how locals make a living. A must-do during your stay is to walk through the bustling crab market as locals cook up their fresh catches, before sitting down to sample the local delicacy - crabs fried with Kampot pepper at one of the many restaurants next door. Beyond the town, there are plenty of activities to do. Take a short boat ride to Rabbit Island which remains undeveloped with only a handful of family-run bungalows, restaurants and seaweed farms. Providing a real taste of rustic island life, this is the ideal place for outdoor activities such as snorkelling, sunbathing and beach barbecues. The jungle-like Kep National Park is also nearby, home to butterflies, monkeys, snakes, squirrels and birds. Let's challenge yourself with a well-marked 8km circuit navigable by foot, mountain bike, or motorbike for a spectacular view over the region.

How to reach

The only way to access Kep is by road via long distance intercity bus connections.

Other Cambodia DestinationS

Battambang
Battambang

Battambang is a city located in northwest Cambodia and the second-largest city in the country. It is known for its beautiful colonial architecture, traditional Cambodian art scene, and for being a hub for rice production. Providing arguably the best street food in the country and a busy central market, it is a lovely town to explore by bicycle or on foot. Angkor-era temples, hillside pagodas and, more solemnly, notorious areas relating to the rule of the Khmer Rouge; all can be experienced on a day out from Battambang, but without the crowds like some similar sites in Siem Reap. Outside the city, there are outdoor attractions and eco-tourism activities, including the famous bamboo railway, mountain cycling, kayaking and trekking tours. Battambang is also the country's artistic hub, with an abundance of artists setting up base around the city. It is home to Phare, the country's central institute for artists, singers and dances; and unique circus performances. More than a circus, it is a special storytelling combined with song, art and traditional dance forms.

Banlung
Banlung

Banlung is the seat of Ratanakiri Province in northeastern Cambodia, 636 kilometers from the Cambodian capital, Phnom Penh. It is a lively commercial center; people from nearby villages frequently come to the town market to sell their goods. The Katieng Waterfalls, three kilometers west of Banlung, are home to Ratnakiri's last elephants, protected by the Airavata Elephant Foundation's conservation campaign.

Kampong Chhnang
Kampong Chhnang

Located around 90km from Phnom Penh to the North, Kampong Chhnang is one of the central provinces of Cambodia. As a part of fertile delta in the heart of Cambodia which is drained by the legendary Tonle Sap, Kampong Chhnang is a wonderful retreat, especially during the harvest season. Heading to Kampong Chhnang would make your trip to Cambodia more memorable with rustic experiences in this idyllic land.

Kampong Cham
Kampong Cham

Being the third largest city in Cambodia, Kampong Cham is the third largest city in Cambodia. For many years, Kampong Cham has been an important trade and transportation hub of Cambodia. Moreover, Kampong Cham with its own laid back atmosphere and quaint charm is also a great destination.

Kampot
Kampot

Kampot is a charming riverside town located in the south of Cambodia. Once a bustling trading port, Kampot still boasts a Chinese population, their single-storey houses, built without stilts, contrasting with the Khmer stilt-houses and colonial shophouses that grace the town’s streets behind the sun-kissed, tree-lined riverfront. A gentle stroll, cycle or tuk tuk ride through the town will take you past crumbling French colonial architecture, the Old Market as well as Kampot Wat, the main Buddhist temple. Kampot’s surrounding countryside is scenic, tranquil and well worth a ride along the red dirt roads as you pass through villages, plantations, paddy fields, palm trees and locals going about their daily lives. This town is also the perfect base to explore the Bokor Hill Station on top of Bokor Mountain, which is often coated in a thick mist adding to the mythical feel of the place. The coastal town is also well-known for its pepper, often regarded as some of the best in the world. Pepper production here has been documented as far back as the 13th century, and the climate and soil in the province are ideal for the plants, providing a distinct aromatic flavour that has made it such a world-renowned product. A stay in Kampot would be incomplete without a visit to a plantation to discover how several variations of the famous spice are grown, harvested and eaten.

Kratie
Kratie

Kratié is a province in eastern Cambodia, situated on the banks of the mighty Mekong river. It is home to beautiful riverside scenery, and lots of opportunities for outdoor activities, such as cycling, kayaking and hiking. The stretch of the river, north of Kratié town, is home to a pod of rare Irrawaddy dolphins which can be spotted on boat trips along the river. Kratie’s picturesque riverfront is strewn with sandbars and islands where you can catch some of the best Mekong sunsets in Cambodia. Take a short ferry ride to Koh Trong island to explore a little slice of rural paradise. Here, the locals still get around by horse-drawn cart, and you can spend your days visiting stilt houses surrounded by banana palms, relaxing on sandy river beaches, cycling beneath giant mango trees, and perhaps even catching a glimpse of a rare Mekong turtle. If you want to get a glimpse into life around the town, take time to visit its lively markets and fantastic restaurants. You will find streets scattered with gorgeous French colonial and Khmer-style buildings, including the former grand Governor’s Residence, that was fortunately not destroyed by the bombings during the war.

Phnom Penh
Phnom Penh

Phnom Penh is the most populous city in Cambodia and supposed to the most beautiful French built city in Asia. Abandoned during the Khmer Rouge period and with very little development until the 21st century, Phnom Penh has avoided the mass modern high rise development of other cities in the same area. The city maintains a unique vibrancy and provides a fascinating contrast between old and new. For many visitors, Phnom Penh is a transit stop before hopping on to Siem Reap, nevertheless, there are plenty of reasons to linger in the city. From the historical significant sites to understand what happened in Cambodia during the Khmer Rouge and Pol Pot years to the astounding temples and palaces to explore the classic Khmer architecture that make Phnom Penh an excellent location to spend a few days before heading into other parts of the country. Aside from sightseeing, Phnom Penh has a range of options for nightlife options and restaurants, including some great rooftop bars. There are a plethora of street stalls where you can fill up on noodle dishes, filled baguettes and fruit shakes. The bustling riverfront and Sisowath Quay are lined with cafés, restaurants and bars serving cuisine from all over the world. Boeung Keng Kang is also packed with swish cafes, restaurants and bars. The restaurants are reasonably priced, and many visitors end up lingering in Phnom Penh for the restaurant scene. 

Preah Vihear
Preah Vihear

Preah Vihear province bordering Thailand and Laos to the North, is known as the “mother of mountain temples” with three of the most remarkable Angkorian legacies of Cambodia including the renowned temple of Prasat Preah Vihear, the former capital of Koh Ker and the spectacular complex of Preah Khan Kampong Svay. The most famous one is the Preah Vihear Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site located on the top of the Dangrek Mountains at an altitude of 700m. This ancient Hindu temple boasts intricate carvings and offers panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. Visitors can explore the temple's complex layout, diverse shrines, and admire the stunning sunset from its vantage point. The nearby Koh Ker, a remote archaeological site set in the jungle, showcases ancient temple ruins with intricate pyramid structures and elaborate carvings. Exploring these ruins offers a glimpse into the Khmer Empire's architectural prowess. For an enriching cultural experience, visitors can interact with the indigenous ethnic minority communities living in Preah Vihear province. Immerse yourself in their traditions, witness their unique way of life, and contribute to sustainable tourism initiatives in the region.
