A Beautiful Trek

Let’s start with the night before! We and a couple from NZ were the only guests at the project camp that night. We had a nice dinner featuring a traditional soup cooked in a bamboo tube over a campfire. Dinner was followed by rice wine drinking games with our new NZ friends, led by our trek guide. To say the least, some of us did not fare well with the games!
After much needed sleep in our hammocks with mosquito netting, we had a breakfast of (fairly dry) banana pancakes.
After breakfast we set off on an 18-km trek in the Mondulkiri highlands: jungle, caves, ancient forests (although sadly, much of the forest has recently been clear-cut to plant crops), waterfalls, and fields of rice! Words cannot describe the experience. Watch the entire video via the link below and the short/cut video in the gallery.
