Nous aurons grand plaisir à vous détailler sur place
cette coutume si particulière.
My comments
To reach Ratanakiri by road or by boat along the Mékong is
feasible but difficult. Therefore, the plane from Phnom Penh
to Banlung (more or less a one hour flight) is the best.
The roads and tracks in Ratanakiri are built in laterite
(red earth) and are more than less broken up ; a jeep is
almost a must.
Obviously the rainy season is to be avoided and trekking
requiring up to 4 to 5 walking hours requests a good health
and good shoes. (see our chapter –medical precautions).
Of course, our personal comfort will have to be a bit
sacrificed but it is absolutely sure that you will enjoy an
unforgettable adventure by jeep, dugout and by walking as
well as (for enthusiast adventurers and adventuresses) a
unique and enriching experience sharing the genuine way of
life of the inhabitants of a Khmer Leu village.
The ethnic minorities that we will meet, are not yet very
accustomed to tourists and we will therefore behave
respectfully (see our chapter « Recommandations » –
Customs). Of course, at this occasion, I will accompanied by
a ranger and translator of the languages of these ethnic
minorities.
