ITINERARY IN DETAIL:
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.
Transfer to Terres Tourges Lodge (superb house made of precious wood located by a lake and in the middle of one acre of garden). Lunch at Terres Rouges Lodge.
Leave in a jeep on a bumpy road to the discovery of the surrounding waterfalls. Teuk Cha Ong is the most impressive of them. Next we visit the waterfall of Okatchagn. Dinner and overnight at Terres Rouges Lodge (14 rooms only)
DAY 2: RATANAKIRI (B,L,D)
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 overnight at Terres Rouges Lodge.
