Best things to do in Banlung
Ban Lung Essentials
Ban Lung is the administrative hub of Ratanakiri province and the primary gateway to Cambodia’s northeast highlands. The region is centered around the 4,000-year-old Yeak Laom volcanic crater lake and a series of significant natural landmarks including the Kachanh and Katieng waterfalls. The landscape is defined by fertile red soil supporting extensive rubber and pepper plantations. It serves as a base for visiting indigenous hill tribe communities and organizing expeditions into the remote wilderness of Virachey National Park.
