Kirirom National Park





Disclaimer: This is my first post. The formatting can only get better!

Needing some fresh, non-city air, I joined two friends for a day trip to Kirirom National Park. With Kirirom being 112km southwest of Phnom Penh, we started off at 8am and planned to return in the late afternoon. 

Taken from Wikipedia, 
The meaning of Kirirom is "Happy Mountain". This name was given to the area by King Monivong in the 1930s. The ancient name of the place was Phnom Vorvong Sorvong for the main two hills there were connected with the Cambodian popular legend about two heroic princely brothers, Vorvong and Sorvong.
