Transfer from Phnom Penh Airport to Kirirom National Park

The journey follows National Road 4, a scenic well-maintained highway that departs Phnom Penh near the airport junction and descends south-west through open countryside and rice fields into Kampong Speu Province. You'll pass through rural villages and gradually enter the forested foothills where the landscape shifts to pine plantations and tropical vegetation as you approach Kirirom's cooler uplands around 600 metres elevation.

Your driver will meet you at the arrivals baggage-hall exit of your landing terminal, holding a name sign, with a complimentary 60-minute wait included. The drive typically takes 2 hours 16 minutes under normal traffic; morning departures from the airport (07:00–10:00) are usually faster, while afternoon trips may face congestion around Phnom Penh's southern outskirts. National Road 4 is toll-free and all road charges are included; bring your passport for the park's modest entrance fee (5 USD) collected at the main gate.

Taxis from the airport rank involve negotiating an inflated fare (often $25–$35) with no fixed price, while Vireak Buntham Express buses depart only at 07:30 AM, take 2 hours 45 minutes, and require a separate motorbike transfer to the park entrance. A pre-booked private transfer offers door-to-door convenience, real-time flight monitoring, and a confirmed fixed price with no hidden charges—essential when arriving mid-day or with luggage.
