Practical Intel

Know Before You Go

01
Leech-proof socks are mandatory in summer

The humid forest floor is home to active ground and tiger leeches, peaking during wet monsoonal months. Wear high, tightly woven leech-proof socks over your trousers when trekking valley corridors.

02
Consult a travel doctor for malaria prep

The Cardamom Mountains are a remote, dense wilderness where malaria and dengue remain active. Speak to a physician about malaria prophylaxis, wear long sleeves during evening deck dining, and use high-strength DEET.

03
Pack in water-resistant dry bags

Whether arriving by zipline, boat, or trekking under humidity, moisture is constant. Pack clothing, passports, and cameras in watertight dry bags inside your backpack to protect from sudden tropical squalls.
