Day 1: Phnom Penh - Ratanakiri (L,D)
Transfer from hotel to Phnom Penh
International Airport for a domestic flight
to Banlung, capital of Ratanakiri, nicknamed
“ The Red City” because of the omnipresent
laterite. Lunch at Terres Rouges Lodge.
Leave in a jeep on a bumpy road for the
discovery of the surrounding waterfalls.
Teuk Cha Ong is the most impressive of them.
Next to the waterfall of Okatchagn is a hill
tribe village with elephants which may be
observed in the forest. Dinner and
accommodation at Terres Rouges Lodge .
Day 2: Ratanakiri (B,L,D)
Breakfast at the lodge. Direction northwest
today, cross bamboo forest before reaching
the village of Voeune Sai located on the
left bank of the Se San River. The view on
the Chinese village on the other side of the
river is quite pretty. Actually, this place
is almost a Chinese enclave in Cambodian
territory, most villagers don’t even speak
Khmer. Upstream of the Se San are a certain
number of Tampoun villages that practice
funeral statuary; if possible by boat
(otherwise by jeep) visit to the village of
Ka Chaoan with its superb totems. Dinner and
accommodation at Terres Rouges Lodge.
Day 3: Ratanakiri (B,L,D)
Breakfast at the lodge. Travel north today,
in the direction of Laos, cross the curious
extent of volcanic rocks of Veyrum Plang: a
lava field in the forest with a small
waterfall nearby (only in the wet season
though) and what locals call tiger caves.
Continuing to Taveng, cross different types
of landscapes: primary forest, clear forest,
bamboo forest and “African” bush. Stop at a
few nice Kroeung villages located quite far
away in the forest. The Kroeung people have
the particularity of erecting bachelor
houses standing on very long bamboo poles,
these houses will remain so till the young
man finds a wife, then, they are destroyed.
The right time to see them is usually from
February to August. Lunch at a small
waterfall lost in the forest and then
further visits of villages. Dinner and
accommodation at Terres Rouges Lodge.
Day 4: Ratanakiri - Phnom Penh (B)
Breakfast at the lodge. Early shopping in
the Banlung market, then a little trip to
the volcanic lake of giant Loam, superb
place surrounded by pristine rainforest.
Swim or take a walk around the lake before
leaving to the airport for a flight from
Banlung to Phnom Penh. Arrive in Phnom Penh
and transfer to hotel.
