The coastal province of Kep is located in southwest Cambodia. Despite being the smallest province in the country, this mountainous and arable province offers a diverse array of attractions, including an intriguing capital city (also known as Kep), rugged national parks and nearby islands.
The capital, which contains abandoned French-style villas from when the city was established in 1908, makes a great base for exploring Phnom Sar Sear - a cultural and natural preserve home to Buddhist pagodas and caves containing beautiful mountain wells - and the Kep National Park, which offers jungle treks of varying lengths and difficulties
Finally, though Kep Beach is popular, most visitors will want to make the trip to nearby Rabbit Island, an idyllic retreat of towering palm trees, white sand beaches and brightly coloured tropical fish.
