| RATTANAKIR |
|
The area around RATTANAKIRI province, in the North East,
is completely different in climate, geography and culture from the rest of the country.
Very much the country's "wild east", it borders both Laos and Vietnam and is home to many indigenous hill
tribes whose way of life (and language in many cases!) is completely different from elsewhere in Cambodia.
Here, well away from the tourist trails, is a place largely unchanged for centuries - full of spectacular
waterfalls, small rural villages and unspoiled rainforest where tigers and elephants can still be found.
Volcanic rock formations mix with primary rain forest; minority villages with ancient customs; clear blue/green
lakes and gemstone mines. Be prepared for some bumpy roads!
Accommodation is generally of a more basic standard than in other more visited locations, but still chosen by us|
for its cleanliness and friendly staff. Food will also be more basic, but as the local food is generally so delicious,
this shouldn't cause anyone a problem!
