Kbal Chhay Waterfall

Kbal Chhay Waterfall is a multi-tiered cascade located approximately 16 kilometers northeast of Sihanoukville, set within a forested valley that provides welcome natural relief from the coastal heat. The waterfall flows most powerfully during and just after the rainy season from June to November, when the Prek Tuk Sap river fills and sends water rushing over a series of rocky drops. During this period the pools at the base become popular swimming spots for Cambodian families on weekends and public holidays, and the surrounding forest fills with the sound of rushing water. In the dry season the flow reduces to a trickle but the setting remains peaceful. A small entrance area with food stalls and picnic facilities makes it a convenient day trip from Sihanoukville.
