Rattanak Kiri province lies in the northeast of the country, bordered by Vietnam to the east and Laos to the north. Whilst a journey here by car is nine hours from Phnom Penh, helicopters can be chartered to reduce the journey time. Its distance from the regular sites of Cambodia means it is rarely included on itineraries, which adds to its charm.
Perfect for those looking for nature and wildlife, the diverse geographical area encompasses rolling hills, cascading waterfalls, crater lakes and dense rainforest teeming with exotic flora and fauna. It offers great opportunities for the adventurous to enjoy eco-tourism. Visit the tranquil volcanic lake of Yeak Laom near the town of Banlung, here you can swim in the clean, turquoise waters.

Guest Testimonial
First experience with A&K. Intended to ask various travel companies for quotes but Vicky (Agnew) was so good with her suggestions that we did not seek alternative quotations the suggested itinerary was excellent and helped us decide on a balanced and interesting holiday.
