Ратанакири

Ratanakiri Province Essentials

Ratanakiri’s landscape is defined by the 4,000-year-old Yeak Laom volcanic crater lake and a network of waterfalls including Cha Ong, Kachanh, and Ka Teang. The province is home to diverse indigenous groups like the Tompuon, whose unique funerary traditions are preserved at the Kachork Cemetery. Beyond the central market of Banlung, the region features remote Angkorian-era ruins at Tak Nang and the vast biodiversity of Virachey National Park, accessible via the eco-tourism headquarters in the provincial capital.
