Virachey National Park Trekking

Trekking from1 day to 7days always available!

Departing from Banlung and first crossing the Sesan River by ferry an hour north of town, we meet with indigenous guides who show you the secrets of surviving in the forest — from catching fish and collecting wild vegetables to building your raft from bamboo. The average tourist does 1–3 days, but trips can be as long as 10 days, venturing deep into the pristine old-growth forest full of animals like tigers, white elephants, sun bears, gibbons, ibis, hornbills and toucans, and countless butterflies and creatures yet to be described by western scientists.

What to bring?

Green Jungle Trekking Tours provides a hammock, blanket, drinkware, silverware, water, and if needed, rainflies and machetes. The guides provide all meals and carry all the food for you. Our Khmer guide, Rithy Thomas, can explain and translate everything in English & some French to you, and our indigenous/minority rangers have lived their whole lives fishing and hunting the forests and rivers of Virachey.

In a lightweight pack with enough room left for the typical throw pillow on a couch — the hammock and blanket zip up into a single pillow-sized bag — visitors should bring:

Toilet paper (we will have extra if needed)
Mosquito/insect repellant and any anti-malarials or other tropical-disease-related drugs as prescribed by a doctor
Warm clothes for the night — in December until February, it gets extremely cold at night in the jungle
Flashlight/Torch
First aid kit
Good hiking shoes
Swimwear
A long-sleeved shirt and long pants for parts of the jungle that get dense

The important thing is to pack as light as possible! This is the jungle and the easier you can maneuver through tight spaces, the better.

Prices:

$40–$80 /day each person
