A cloud of dust parts as your scooter slides off the coastal road and into a shoulder of limestone hills—Kampong Trach’s ridges rise like folded pages of rock, sun striking cliff faces and throwing deep shadow into cave mouths. The ride unfolds at an unhurried pace: rice paddies give way to scrub and then to karst towers punctured by caverns that have sheltered people and bats for millennia.

Wear closed-toe shoes

Sunscreen and a hat matter for exposed ridgelines and time on a scooter.
Carry local cash
Small vendors and temple donations often accept only Khmer Riel or cash; bring small bills.
Respect cave interiors
Avoid touching stalactites and don’t leave trash—formations are fragile and recover slowly.
