Rattanakiri Experience 8 days
Phnom Penh-Kratie-Stung Treng-Banlung-Rattanakiri
- From 655 US$
|
|
Rattanakiri has a unique natural beauty and wealth of natural
resources. A land of mountains and rain forests - home to
a variety of wildlife including some rare tigers and elephants,
and perhaps even a few "kouprey", the mysterious
jungle cow.
It is a land of rivers, waterfalls and fields of bright yellow
wild sunflowers. Where "highlanders" worship the
spirits of the land and their ancestors who lived the same
life far back into the past, beyond memory.
Ratanakiri province offers a completely unique experience.
