Kbal Chhay Waterfall — Cambodia

About this spectacle

Kbal Chhay Waterfall is a cascade located in Sihanoukville province, Cambodia, where a series of rocky ledges channel river water into foaming pools surrounded by jungle. Visitors can hear the rush of water before they see it, walking through forest trails to reach the falls. The scene is most dramatic during and just after the wet season, when water volumes peak and the cascade roars with full force. Families and day-trippers wade in the shallower pools at the base while the lush green canopy above filters tropical light onto the water's surface. The surrounding forest provides shade and birdsong, making the visit feel immersive even on busy weekends. Photography works best from mid-morning, when light reaches the falls at a favorable angle. Outside the wet season, the flow reduces significantly, though the rocky landscape and surrounding jungle retain their appeal.
