Mountains in Cambodia - Asia

Cambodia isn't normally thought of as a mountain climbing destination. But there are a few hiking and trekking options worth considering. If you want to get away from the heaving masses of tourists found at the country's main attractions, Mount Aural is the highest point in the country, sitting in one of the country's few large natural areas.

Mount Aural (Phnom Aoral)

1,813m (5,948ft)

Aural is the highest peak in Cambodia, sitting in the Eastern section of the Cardamom Mountains.

The Mount Aural trek is best done during the drier months of November to March. There’s one trail to take and depending on your fitness levels you should allow 8 continuous hours of trekking to reach the summit and return, or else split it into a 2-day overnight camping trek.

It is best done in a group with a guide. The trek takes climbers through forests with opportunities to catch a glimpse of the wildlife in the area, including leopards, bears, boars, and monkeys.
