Kampot is a small town in south-east Cambodia and capital of the province with same name. It is a gateway to Bokor National Park.
The main reason for most travellers to venture to Kampot is its close proximity to Bokor National Park with its ruined French colonial resort town at the top Bokor Mountain in the Elephant Mountain range. This is one of the most spectacular sites in Cambodia and well worth a visit.
