After Siem Reap, I went to Banlung by bus (14h).

Banlung is the capital of Ratanakiri province in the northeastern of Cambodia between the Vietnam and Laos borders.
It's the starting point of the treks in the Virachey National Park.

In the bus, I met a guy from Zurich in Switzerland (Phillippe).

The first day, we rented bicycles to go to the Yeak Laom lake (a crater with water).
The second day we booked a 6 days treking in the Virachey National Park with a ranger and a local guide.

The trek wasn't difficult. But, it rained a lot and it was really humid. There was a lot of leeches.

Anyway, it was nice. We met Khmer minority people and we survived in the jungle.

Thanks again to Phillippe.
