The Kep Revival
Re: The Kep Revival
yes indeed, they are overlanders, didnt met them in person on the road, but they were heading 2 months ahead from me, and probably the first guys who received as overlander an Indian visa in Islamabad, since Covid, they made some good tips on the ioverlander.com website, what helped me to get in PP.
But i had no clue they came also to KOW . . .

Thanks for the background
Re: The Kep Revival
I'm not a regular in Kep or Kampot at all, which part of "holiday mode" did you fail to understand? Can you actually comment on the quality of those new restaurants in Kep?kgbagent wrote: ↑Sun Mar 26, 2023 10:36 pmYou a regular at Happy Chef and Milano then?Alex wrote: ↑Sun Mar 26, 2023 6:57 pm On the bright side, those prices will keep the riff-raff out that is so often seen infesting restaurants in nearby Kampot. What I'm really wondering about is the quality though. I'd have no problem paying $12 for a Full English Breakfast on the beach, considering I'd be in holiday mode, but the quality would better be comparable to the best I can get elsewhere.

When in Kampot , Kep just put yourself on the survival mode, no decent food just kennel rations.Alex wrote: ↑Mon Mar 27, 2023 8:47 amI'm not a regular in Kep or Kampot at all, which part of "holiday mode" did you fail to understand?

I'm at a crossroads, not sure how many Khmers are into this but at least it adds something to do while in Kep beside eating crab and walking around the mtn on a cement pathKep Rock Center’s construction project has achieved roughly 80 percent completion. Throughout the following three months, visitors will be able to experience this new international resort. Through new achievements, Kep province is able to attract more tourists to come and relax.
According to Heng Dara, owner of Kep Rock Entertainment Center, the project to develop a cable car park with a restaurant, parking lot, toilets, and water park has neared 80 percent completion. The crew has finished more than half of the facilities above Kep National Park for more than 30 different types of recreational activities.

Re: The Kep Revival
Cementing the mountain road might have been bad idea (especially cutting the trees was bad) but it has brought the Cambodians on the trail. I go there like once a month and I see always locals bicycling and walking. Before never. Only few odd people driving on scooter to the cafe on the top of mountain. But now people are actually "hiking".phuketrichard wrote: ↑Fri Apr 21, 2023 7:46 am the waiting is almost over

Re: The Kep Revival
Hiking around the mountain (mostly in solitude) there on the hardpacked dirt road, under the shade of the huge trees, was always one of the highlights of any trip to Kep for me.

The old, shaded roadway was also wide enough for cars. On more than one occasion I was passed by a car while walking/biking on it.
