Virachey Trekking 10D9N

The day begins in Banlung with an 8:30 AM departure. You’ll travel about an hour to Veun Sai District, then take a boat or ferry to a remote Kavet tribal village. After a traditional lunch and an introduction to your tribal ranger, you’ll embark on a 5-hour jungle trek. The trek involves a river crossing where your belongings will be placed in waterproof bags and floated across while you swim. The destination is a waterfall campsite where you will set up hammocks and sleep under the stars. In the evening, you will have dinner cooked by firelight and have the option to join a night safari to spot nocturnal wildlife.

Wake to the jungle’s natural symphony—gibbons, monkeys, and birds calling through the canopy. Trek 5–6 hours deeper into untouched old-growth forest, where giant hardwood trees tower overhead and dense vegetation must be cleared by machete.

Along the way, your guide shows how to find drinking water in vines, recognize edible fruits, and avoid poisonous plants. Wildlife sightings are possible—hornbills, macaques, or even wild boar.
By evening, set camp in a remote clearing and enjoy the solitude of the wilderness.

At night, after dinner, embark on a special 2-hour trek with headlamps to discover the jungle after dark. Look for glowing eyes of slow lorises, civets, reptiles, or hear the eerie calls of jungle owls. The sounds of insects and unseen creatures create an unforgettable nighttime atmosphere.
