Detail Itinerary
Day 1: Ratanakiri - Arrival
Arrive in the morning to Banlung, capital of
Ratanakiri, nicknamed "the Red City" because of
the omnipresent red soil.
Transfer to Terres Rouges Lodge (Nice house made
of precious wood located by a lake and in the
middle of one acre of garden), for lunch. Leave
by jeep on a bumpy road to the village of Taveng,
crossing the volcanic rocks of Veyrum Pleng: a
lava field in the forest with a small waterfall
nearby (only in the wet season though) and what
locals call tiger caves.
As we go north to Taveng, we cross different
types of landscapes; primary forest, clear
forest, and bush. We 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 stilts, 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.
Dinner & night at Terres Rouges Lodge.
Day 2: The Jarai territory
Breakfast at the hotel
This will be a long and dusty (or muddy) day,
since we leave far eastward, towards the
Vietnamese border. We first stop in some Tampoun
villages in order to observe the tribal customs
as well as to tempt to bargain some traditional
handicrafts as baskets, pipes, gourds, machetes...
We cross rubber trees, cashew nut or coffee
plantations before we stop at the village of
Bokeo where we have some refreshment. We then go
back up towards Andong Meas (the gold well) to
reach the superb Se San river and to have a ride
in a local Dugout to discover some Jarai
villages.
Back to the Lodge for dinner.
Day 3: Excursion to the waterfalls & the volcanic lake
Breakfast at the hotel
Trip to the surrounding waterfalls and a short
excursion to the volcanic lake "Yak Laom".

before leaving to catch our plane.
