| Phnong Tribe |
This
post I'll talk a bout another province of Cambodia. It's a beautiful
and colorful of nature. Mondulkiri province is the most landscapeful
part of the Kingdom of Cambodia. It really is another Cambodia
altogether, with scenery and a climate quite unlike anywhere else in
the country. It can quite chilly at night, so make sure you bring
somthing warm when you visit there. It is the most sparsely populated
province in Cambodia and almost half of 30,000 inhabitants come from
the Phnong minority group. Sen Monorom is the capital town, have population of about 21% of total population.
This
province is the land of mountans and primary rainforest, and home to
several hill tribes. Mondulkiri is the largest province of Cambodia,
80% of population belongs to tribal minorities with the majority of
them being Phnong. In the town language, Phnong mean mountain tribe or
" people of the mountain" 10 different ethnic groups, all with varying
languages, trditions, and make up of tribal minorities.
The
remaining 20 percent of Mondulkiri's population are a mixture of Khmer,
Chinese, and Cham Muslim. People live mainly off the land , planting
dry rice, fruits, and a variety of crops and vegetables. What you will
see when you get there? Umm, Mondulkiri's high elevation ensures a cool
climate and equitable rain. So the government is encouraging the
planting of strawberies, coffee, ruber trees, and cashew nuts.

| Bou Sra Water Fall, Mondulkiri |
Busra
is a fascinating waterfall, Busra provides a picturesque fresh air. it
is located in Pich Chenda district about 30 km from the Sen Monorom
Town of Mondulkiri province. Mondulkiri is 543 km northeast of Phnom
Penh. Bou Sra is the most beautiful waterfall in Mondulkiri and shared
into three stages. This double drop waterfall is an unforgiving journey
of 37km from the capital town, Sen Monorom, but it quite impressive,
the upper tier dropping some 20m and lower tier dropping 40km. To get
to the bottom of the lower tier, you have to cross the river and take a
left further down the track. This the Phnong of Pich Chenda where you
can pick some basic foods and fruits you like.
Sound great, right ??? Visit now or book a flight if you are foreigner :D
