Tour Itinerary:

DAY 1: Phnom Penh - Banlung
Transfer to Banlung, capital of Rattanakiri Province, nicknamed “the Red City” because of the omnipresent laterite. Transfer to lodge. Drive by jeep on rough roads to explore the surrounding waterfalls at Teuk Cha Ong and Okachang. Return to lodge for dinner and overnight in Banlung. (L, D)

DAY 2: Banlung- Kroeung Territory - Banlung
Drive north towards Laos and the village of Taveng. Cross the volcanic lava field of Veyrum Plang. Travelling north the landscape changes from primary forest to cleared forest, bamboo and bush. Stop to visit some Kroeung villages en route. The Kroeung people have the curious custom of erecting bachelor houses standing on long bamboo poles. These houses will remain so until the young man finds a wife. Only then will the unusual bachelor pad be destroyed. The time of year to see them is usually from February to August. Return to lodge for dinner and overnight. Overnight in Banlung. (B, L, D)


DAY 3: Banlung- Tapoun Totems - Banlung
Leave Banlung heading northwest through bamboo forests to reach the village of Voeune Sai. This village is a Chinese enclave in Cambodian territory with most villagers not speaking Khmer. Upstream are the Tampoun villages, known for their funeral statuary or totems. Some of the best of totems are in the village of Ka Choan, reached by boat or jeep. Return to Banlung for dinner and overnight. (B, L, D)

DAY 4: Banlung- Phnom Penh
This is time for early morning shopping at the Banlung market before a short trip to the volcanic lake of Yak Lom, in a superb location surrounded by pristine rainforest. Swim or take a stroll around the lake before transferring back to Phnom Penh. (B, L)
