Lumphat's Wildlife Harmony
Lumphat Wildlife Sanctuary covers an area of 2,225 sq. km and charms visitors with its picturesque forests and tranquil surroundings. It is a haven for a diversity of wildlife, including some extremely endangered species.
The Sanctuary with its mountains, forests, and lowland, makes an ideal shelter for large mammals such as elephants, bantengs, gaurs, tigers, and wild buffalos, as well as bears and other smaller carnivores and primates; not forgetting more than a hundred bird species including waterfowls.
Besides providing shelter for wildlife, the Sanctuary is also home to more than 100 indigenous families, mostly from the Phnong minority who survive entirely on the park’s natural resources. They rely on natural resins, vines, rattans, herbal plants, and a variety of forest products.
Tourists wishing to visit the Lumphat Sanctuary should contact the park rangers of Phnom Prik National Park. They will provide guide tour around interesting sites and if visitors would like to see more, they can arrange to camp here for up to a week to take them all in.
