The plateau where Sen Monorom is located is about 3000 feet above sea level, making it a cool region for Cambodia. The climate plays a particularly important role and you'll need to consider it in your travel plans. The rainy season makes access to the town complicated because of landslides. As for winter, don't forget your fleece, because it gets cold at night!

Stung Treng is the last major town before the Laos border (with Si Phan Don – or "4000 Islands" – lying just 50 kilometres away). It's simply a place at which to make a brief stopover and has nothing of any real interest to offer, except perhaps that it serves as a way to get to Ratanakiri.

The first time I went to Sen Monorom the town looked like a village from the Far West. The road through it was still made of earth, there was a thick cloud of dust every time a vehicle drove by and you were quickly covered in red earth. Today, only the road has changed. It is now covered in asphalt and you can get to the town much more easily. Sen Monorom is a small, quiet, backwoods town to which few tourists go, even though Mondolkiri is in the middle of a tourist boom. The airport at the top of the town is very amusing - although landing there is probably a lot less so: you have to imagine a long runway of flattened earth, which has no definite border and which is used by pedestrians, motorcycles and cars...Not very reassuring. If you like unusual trips Sen Monorom is the place for you.

When I came to the region on my first <a href="/cambodia/">trip to Cambodia</a>, Mondulkiri had already begun its sad transformation. Just a few years ago Sen Monorom was in the middle of an authentic province covered with forests. The wild beauty of nature in all its splendor. Unfortunately, rather than preserve its undeniable asset, Mondulkiri took a sad turn. Deforestation is taking place at an exponential rate. What a waste! By wanting to give in to the siren call of mass tourism, Mondulkiri is losing all its charm. You can plan your day on an elephant's back in Sen Monorom. You'll go for a long walk in the forest (fortunately, some of it still remains), take a dip with the elephant to wash it in the river, and your mahout will give you his position and teach you how to guide the elephant. It will surely be one of your best memories from your trip to Cambodia.

A little lost village in eastern Cambodia, 5 hours from Kratié, Sen Monorom is the capital of Mondulkiri.
