Located in the highlands of the Damrei Mountains, most of this national park is located 1,000 metres above sea level, with the highest peak being Phnom Bokor – which is 1,080 metres and the namesake of the national park as a whole. This also marks the second highest point in the whole of Cambodia. ‘Bokor’ itself is a Khmer word that means ‘hump of an ox’, which is what the mountains in the national park are said to resemble. Bokor National Park is also part of the Cardamom Mountains, which span across south west Cambodia and into Thailand.
