Hi Steemit the other day we took a drive from our hostel in the center of Kampot out of town and up Bokor mountain to explore the waterfall. We hired a motorbike from our hostel for $5 and filled it the whole way up for $1.70 then we headed out of town towards the mountain. I'll provide a link to a map showing the route we took below.
When we arrived at the foot of the mountain we realized how beautiful the views were going to be so I took out my GoPro and we ended up recording the journey up the mountain to share with you guys. The views were breathtaking we probably should have taken more pictures along the way but in the scorching heat we just wanted to get up to the top and out of the sun.
I made the mistake of not applying any sunscreen so ive got some lovely redish arms now. But anyway once we reached the top of the mountain we proceeded on over to the waterfall which cost 50 cents to enter and provided us with a bottle of water. The waterfall was better than I had anticipated after seeing some incredible ones in Laos such as Kuang Si.
This one was unique for us though as shortly after we arrived a group of Monks turned up and proceeded to take a shower in the waterfall shampoo and all ! They were perfectly happy with me taking photos and videos of them .... I think they loved the attention to be honest haha.
I'll upload a time-lapse I took of the waterfalls later on today once I've finished editing it :) Going to need to get a proper tripod though instead of using a random rock to prop up my camera !
Its definitely worth making your way up the mountain it'll probably take you about an hour to get to the top depending on how fast you drive .... Lots more content on the way from Kampot on the way including the salt fields, pepper farms and the drive from Kampot to Kep which is stunning by the way.
Thanks for reading,
Ben
