Ratanakkiri
may not be an obvious destination for most visitors to Cambodia,
but this tucked-away province in the country’s far
north-eastern corner has got a lot to offer the more adventurous
tourists.
The
province’s lush jungle and forests make it an ideal
destination for the ecologically minded traveler.
You can trek the highlands on elephant-back or take a guide
and beat a track on foot; visit local hill-tribe villages
and be pampered by their hospitality; watch miners dig up
glittering gemstones from the ground; explore waterfalls
and take a dip in a crystal clear lake.
Ratanakkiri is bordered by Laos to the north and Viet Nam to the
east.
