Discover Mondulkiri
Sen Monorom sits at 800 metres above sea level, in Cambodia’s largest and wildest province — cool mountain air, real jungle, and one of the few places left in Cambodia where elephants still live in genuine forest habitat rather than a fenced enclosure.
Most of the local community here is indigenous Bunong, who’ve lived and worked alongside elephants for generations. That’s why our guides are Bunong, not tourism staff trained for the role.
Mondulkiri is remote by design — bordering Vietnam to the east, well off Cambodia’s main tourist circuit. That’s part of why the forest, and the elephants living in it, are still here.
Beyond the elephants, the province offers coffee plantations to explore, and Bunong families still farm small plots and sell produce in local markets — daily life visitors rarely see elsewhere in Cambodia.

Why Mondulkiri Matters
Fewer than 500 wild elephants remain in Cambodia, and around half live in Mondulkiri’s forests — making this one of Southeast Asia’s most important areas for elephant conservation.
The Mondulkiri Project cares for rescued elephants Happy, Comvine, Princess and Rumkeurn. Free from logging and riding camps, they now roam the forest, bathe in rivers and forage naturally under the care of Bunong mahouts.

Common Questions
Never. Our elephants are never ridden, never chained, and never made to perform. They move freely through the jungle at their own pace.
Book directly through this website to guarantee your spot and ensure your payment goes directly to elephant welfare and our Bunong guides — not middlemen. We recommend booking at least one week ahead during peak season (November–February).
Mondulkiri is around 6 hours from Phnom Penh or 8 hours from Siem Reap by road. All tours depart from Sen Monorom at 8:30am, 7 days a week.
The 1-day tour involves gentle jungle walking suitable for most visitors. Multi-day treks (up to 17km) require a moderate level of fitness. Minimum ages apply to some tours — see individual tour pages for details.
No deposit is required. We operate on a convenient pay-on-arrival system so you can book your sanctuary experience with total peace of mind.
