Option 3
2 or 3 days Virachey new explore wildlife trek/no touristic option!
Level: Medium-hard
First day:
Departure at 8: 30a.m. out of Banlung city to the Sesan river by motorbike or car, depending on the group, is a 1 hour drive, then taking a small boat driving out of the Sesan river into the Olalai river (a small river) by spending 50 minutes, get to the Kavet indigenous village where we start our trek:
At the beginning, we walk along mixed forest plantations of minority farming, taking a break to look for a tarantula to see how they live in the ground. After this two-hour walk, we get into the Virachey National Park jungle area, where our indigenous ranger will lead us for two hours across dense bamboo jungle toward the small river where our camp is. A nice panoramic view point has a bamboo pipe waterfall big enough to shower but cannot swim! We will have a little drink before bed.
Second day:
We wake up early in the morning at 5:45a.m. to trek with our ranger, following him to listen to the gibbon singing in the high canopy, and if we were lucky, we could see them, returning to camp for breakfast after their morning sounds are complete. We will trek 5–6 hours back on a different trail. Since it’s jungle, sometimes there is no trail, so we need to use machetes!
If you wish to do it as a three-day program, this would be charged. On the second day, instead of trekking back, we will trek on for 5–6 hours more to camp at another small stream where there is a deeper spot inside the giant park, so we’ll have more chance to see wildlife, and we can do a different experience of “trekking by night” along the small river for one hour before going to bed.
Third day:
If we still don’t see any gibbons, we’ll take another morning stroll. After breakfast and coffee, we will hike back for four hours over a different trail to the same village for our final meal with our knowledgeable indigenous ranger family and to bid them farewell. As a result, we will return to Banlung City between four and five in the afternoon.
Chance to see wildlife
This option trek has a higher chance of seeing wildlife compared with all other options treks ,doing more days, more chances, because it is a new, unexplored, and non-touristic area.
Anyway, it is not guaranteed that we will see wildlife, as we can’t make an appointment with them.
Between May and October, there is less chance to see all these animals.
Option 4
“Koh Pong” non-touristic cooking trekking!

After a nice shower from the waterfall, our guides will teach you how to cook bamboo soup and have a party during dinner together!
Second day of the 2days trek:
