If you’re dedicated enough to make it to Banlung, reward yourself with at least three nights in this culturally diverse, rural, forested region of Cambodia. Unlike the rest of Cambodia which focuses primarily on growing rice, Banlung is located in Eastern Cambodia which is forested and focuses on plantations such as rubber, cashews and oil palms. Though Banlung may feel like the edge of civilisation, it’s growing and modernising quickly.
As home to 12 different ethnic minority groups, you’re sure to learn about smaller, local cultures. With a plethora of adventurous tour options, be sure to pick yours and reserve it with us as soon as possible. You can take a hike through the jungle, trek and camp in the jungle, visit the 7 steps waterfall or visit a hilltribe cemetery, all with a local tour guide to show you around. Banlung’s market is a great place to meet locals, taste fresh, locally grown produce and become overwhelmed with the beauty of the local culture of Banlung. Many of the minority ethnic groups come into town to sell their forest goods at the market. The best time to visit Banlung is during the shoulder season, in between the two seasons.
