CAMBODIA – Rattanakiri – Visit and Enjoy Boeun Yeakloam Lake by Bicycle

Description

A half-day excursion by bicycle offers the opportunity to explore the sleepy provincial town of Banlung and its nearby volcanic lake at their rhythm and pace.
Travellers will comfortably start their bike and ride towards the centuries-old Yeak Loam volcanic lake. Once the lake is reached, the tour continues by cycling on its shaded and forested banks before resting in one of the ‘Salas’ set up on its shores. During this relaxing break, there is a chance to try out various local snacks like the local sticky rice, some fresh papaya salad, or the honey-glazed barbecued chicken prepared by vendors from the surrounding minority villages. Adventurous participants can even go for a refreshing swim in the clear, calm waters of the 48-meter-deep lake and then transfer back to the hotel!
