Phnom Prich Wildlife Sanctuary Park

Address: Phnom Prich Wildlife Sanctuary, Mondulkiri province, Cambodia

Phnom Prich Wildlife Sanctuary is a protected area in Mondulkiri province in eastern Cambodia, designated to conserve upland forest and wildlife. It is one element of the larger protected landscapes in Cambodia’s eastern plains.

The sanctuary attracts interest for its intact forest blocks and their role as habitat for regional wildlife; access is primarily for conservation work, monitoring, and limited authorised visits. Facilities for tourism are minimal and visits usually require permission from Cambodian authorities or conservation organisations.

The sanctuary was established by the Cambodian government as part of national efforts to protect forest and wildlife resources and to connect protected areas across the eastern plains. Management has focused on patrolling, habitat protection, and collaboration with conservation partners.

Phnom Prich lies in eastern Cambodia’s Mondulkiri province, a largely forested and hilly region near the border with Vietnam and far from Cambodia’s main population centers. The nearest provincial town is Sen Monorom.

• Conservation role: Forms part of Cambodia’s broader protected-area network in the eastern plains and is managed for long-term forest and wildlife conservation.

Access is typically via Sen Monorom in Mondulkiri province; from there reach points in the sanctuary by 4x4 on logging roads and tracks. Infrastructure is basic; travel times vary widely depending on site and season. Work with local guides or conservation organizations to arrange logistics.

• Arrange visits through reputable conservation NGOs or local guides - the sanctuary is remote and access is regulated to protect wildlife.
• Bring long-range insect repellent and lightweight breathable clothing-Mondulkiri has a strong mosquito presence in the wet season.
• Be prepared for basic road conditions: 4x4 vehicles are recommended, especially in the rainy months.
