Chi Phat Ecotourism Village is nestled in the heart of the Cardamom Mountains in Koh Kong Province, Cambodia. A community-based ecotourism site, it offers a rare glimpse into rural Cambodian life and the opportunity to explore some of Cambodia's most pristine wilderness. Visitors to Chi Phat can engage in a myriad of activities such as trekking through the jungle, mountain biking, and kayaking along the rivers. Throughout these excursions, they may encounter diverse wildlife including numerous bird species, and perhaps even glimpse the elusive clouded leopard or Asian elephant. The village itself comprises traditional wooden houses, and its inhabitants are mostly former hunters and loggers turned conservationists and tour guides. Visiting Chi Phat helps to support the local economy and contribute to the preservation of the natural environment. Historical sites such as burial jars and ancient artifacts provide a connection to the past, and the warmth of the community offers a welcoming experience. Chi Phat is more than a destination; it's an initiative that marries tourism with sustainability and cultural preservation.
