Key Species: Green peafowl, banteng and
leopard.
Habitat: Semi-dry evergreen forest is the
predominant forest type. Dry dipterocarp forest,
mixed deciduous forest and bamboo are patchily
distributed. PXT incorporates the Lao side of the
Mekong River and the adjoining hills eastward.
To the east, its edge is well defined by a steeply
rising escarpment to a low sandstone plateau.
Access: Route 13 south runs roughly parallel with
the eastern boundary within a distance of 1-6 km.
Route 13 is being rebuilt as a hard-top road. A rough
track negotiable by 4WD cuts 6 km across the reserve
to the Mekong River and the enclave village, Khanthungxai.
Another track reaches the enclave village, Thakhamxomxua.
Also accessible from Ban Mai Singsampanh.
