Rattankiri
Now Becoming the Trekking
centre for North East Cambodia; Rattankiri is a land of
Volcanic crater lakes, broad rivers, waterfalls and hill
tribes who are relatively unused to tourism.
The pictures on this page were
taken by Ta Elit and are a visual account of his first visit
here at the end of 2005.

Yaklom Hill Lodge: Near Banlung
Trekking through forest Taking a dive in the Crater lake
We stayed at the Yaklom Hill lodge near the
small town of Banlung. It is a delightful ecological centre set in lush
gardens. At the end of a days trekking the Crater Lake is the perfect
place for a swim.
