Phnom Aural Wildlife Sanctuary

The 2538-sq-km sanctuary boasts the country's highest peak, Phnom Aural (1813m), and is just east of the Central Cardamoms Protected Forest. Unfortunately the area is being destroyed from the south and the east by corrupt land speculation and rampant illegal logging, but the long-standing and reputable DutchCo Trekking Cambodia runs three-day trips to the region. Phnom Aural can be done in a day but most do it in two or three.
