A Journey into Cambodia’s Wild Northeast
Ratanakiri is where Cambodia lets loose its wild heart. Tucked away near the Laos-Vietnam border, this remote province is a land of untamed beauty and cultural depth, where red earth roads lead to extinct volcanoes, crater lakes, and dense rainforest that stretches beyond the horizon. It’s here you’ll find Virachey National Park - one of the last truly wild frontiers in Southeast Asia.Adventures in Virachey are not pre-packaged. You hike for hours or days, crossing rivers and sleeping in hammocks beneath a sky full of stars. Your guides are often members of the indigenous Brao or Kavet communities, who share the forest’s wisdom through stories, food, and local knowledge passed down through generations.
Back near Banlung town, calm returns. You might swim in the emerald waters of Yeak Laom Lake, formed in a volcanic crater, or explore hidden waterfalls and caves set deep within the countryside. The region’s hill tribe villages add another layer to your journey - where traditional longhouses, handwoven textiles, and animist traditions still shape daily life.
Ratanakiri isn’t polished, and that’s its charm. This is a place for the intrepid - for travelers who prefer paths not paved and find magic in the raw, the real, and the beautifully unfamiliar.
Highlights
