What an adventure - Not for the feint hearted as it was tough going, but what an experience from start to finish. Challenging trek up to base camp 1 and 2 in hot and humid conditions. Lots of critters to contend with, and you sleep in tents. Our driver looked after us on the way from Phnom Penh to the mountian. Pete and the local guide took great care of us for the 3 days. We met a monk at both base camps and some lovely dogs. The views were amazing and not many people get to stand up there. The driver looked after our excess bags so we could just take our smaller rucksacks, and then he drove us all the way to Siem Reap afterwards. I will never forget this trek in Cambodia

Great weekend on the mountain and in the jungle - This was one of the best trips I've ever been on. It's hard work, lots of challenging trekking, but worth the effort. The whole experience was great, the local Khmer guides both looked after me and made sure I was always OK for food and drink. We also met "the man on the mountain" who lives at camp 1 and was a generous and kind host, feeding us his locally grown fruit.
The peak has a great view and the airplane crash site was interesting. Be prepared mentally for this trip, it is not one to do on a whim for the casual tourist. You will need good physical fitness and strength, and know that this is jungle terrain so there are leeches and some rough stretches to get through. If you are OK with that, you will have a great time and speaking from my experience, memories for life.

Mt. Aural Hike with Thong - Thong from Vana Adventure Travel Agency has the credit that climbing the highest peak of Cambodia will remain a wonderful memory for us. He and a team of local helpers did the job better than we expected. With their dedication they have made the climb not only successful but also interesting.
Strongly recommended.

Beautiful trek in a remote area - It is not too far from Phnom Penh but the village where we started is really very rural.
The first day is a nice and easy walk to arrive at the first camp where we enjoyed having a swim at the waterfall. The second day was tougher because we had to walk up most of the time. It's not technically hard but it's just a lot hight to gain. On the third day we went up to summit and then all the way down where we got a fresh coconut and a trailer brought us back to the village.
The guides are very professional and friendly.
You will sleep in a tent or hammock and they will cook nice food.
Great way to experience Cambodian nature and you can expect to see some wildlife.
