Hidden gems in Banlung

Hidden Gems of Banlung

Banlung’s landscape is defined by its volcanic history and lush highland terrain. This collection features Lake Yeak Laom, a 700,000-year-old crater lake considered sacred by the indigenous Tampuon people. The region's water network includes the 12-meter-high Kachanh Waterfall with its suspension bridge and the more secluded Ka Teang Waterfall. Cultural sites like Eisan Ratanaram Pagoda offer panoramic views from Phnom Svay, while the Virachey National Park Headquarters provides essential information for exploring one of Cambodia's largest protected biodiversity zones.
