2 or 3 days Ratanakiri community trekking

Option 2

“Kospeak” community trekking

2days or 3days trekking

👉 Level : Medium- hard

First day:

Departing from Banlung and venturing north by boat along the Sesan River, we dock the boat 45 minutes later and begin hiking for 3 hours through moderately difficult hilly jungle to arrive at a 40-meter-tall waterfall, Riyus, where our animist Kachok guides offer whiskey and other sacrifices to the spirit of the waterfall. We will set up camp there, but if you want to hike a few further miles, our knowledgeable ranger can accompany you.

Second day:

After coffee and breakfast, we walk for another five hours while passing a 40-meter high waterfall, have a bath, go swimming, and eat lunch. We then walk back to the boat, stopping to be welcomed into an indigenous hamlet along the way. At 4-5 pm, we will return to the province after visiting their settlement and historic cemetery.

Second day:

In the morning, after coffee served in a bamboo cup and a breakfast provided by the guides, we continue hiking for about 3 more hours through the untouched jungle to the lovely running stream, where it is easy to rinse our sweets off! After lunch, you can decide to do another camping night near another beautiful river in the middle of Virakchey Park or a village homestay instead. If you choose to do another camping night, we will walk for 3 more hours to get there, but if you choose to do the homestay, we have to walk for 4 more hours on different trails.

Third day:

After breakfast and coffee from the second camping trip to the village for our last lunch, we trek for about 6 hours to get there, but if we stay overnight in the ethnic minority village, we will get back faster!
“Kospeak” is a remote tribe consisting of two villages that is very similar to the much larger Kreung people. We will stay with the family for the night if you would like, experiencing the animist culture of the tribal people of Kachock. At the end of both choices, we will still be able to visit their village and their ancient cemetery before we take the boat back.
