The waterfall is locally known as the 'Phnom Preah' falls by the indigenous Bunong community.
The combined vertical drop of the first two levels exceeds 35 meters during the wet season.
The site is located on a plateau approximately 800 meters above sea level, contributing to a cooler climate than the surrounding lowlands.
The area surrounding the waterfall is part of a designated eco-tourism zone intended to preserve local biodiversity.
Bousra Waterfall is a three-tiered cataract located in the Mondulkiri province of eastern Cambodia. The falls are formed by the Dak Dam River, which drops across three distinct levels of varying heights and widths. The first tier is approximately 10 to 15 meters high, while the second tier reaches a height of 20 to 25 meters. The third tier remains largely inaccessible to the general public due to the dense forest terrain. Concrete viewing platforms are situated at the top of the falls to provide vantage points over the cascading water. The site is located within a protected area inhabited by the Bunong indigenous people. Recent infrastructure developments include walking paths, stairs, and small vendor stalls near the entrance.
The main viewing platform at the top of the second tier provides the best panoramic view of the falls.
Bring a change of clothes if you plan to swim in the designated areas near the first tier.
Wear shoes with high traction as the wooden stairs and stone paths become extremely slippery during and after rain.
Carry insect repellent, as the surrounding forest terrain is humid and mosquito-prone.
Do not attempt to hike to the third tier without a local guide, as the trails are unmarked and dangerous.
Modest clothing is expected as a sign of respect for local indigenous customs; swimwear should be covered when walking outside the immediate swimming area.
