Rum Near Waterfall at a Glance#

Exploring Rum Near Waterfall#

Rum Near Waterfall is a favourite side trip for hikers based in Sen Monorom, just a few kilometres from town and reachable on foot without any public transport. The falls are low and wide and look attractive in both the wet and dry seasons, though they are naturally more impressive in the wet, when they swell to around 11 metres across and plunge some 5 metres. A pool at the base makes swimming possible year-round, with the river flowing on past shady trees.

Part of the appeal is the walk itself, which passes coffee, mango, cashew, avocado and rubber plantations. Simply follow the signposted red-soil track from Sen Monorom, a three- to four-hour hike, or cut the journey to about 30 minutes by car or tuk-tuk.
