Estimated Trekking Distance: 3–5 km
Elevation Gain: 50–100 m

Begin your jungle adventure with a morning trip to Banlung’s bustling market, where you’ll purchase fresh food and trek essentials with your experienced park ranger guide. Depart around 9:30 AM by motorbike or 4WD and head north to the rural Taveng District. Around 11:00 AM, take a scenic boat ride across the Se San River to reach the indigenous Brau village of Tumpoun Toch. Spend the afternoon learning about the unique culture of the Brau people before beginning your short hike into the forest. Set up your first night’s camp surrounded by towering trees and the sounds of the wild.

Estimated Trekking Distance: 10–12 km
Elevation Gain: 300–400 m

Wake up to the haunting calls of gibbons echoing through the jungle canopy. After a hearty breakfast, start your journey deeper into Virachey National Park, following the historic “Commander Trail.” Trek through thick rainforest, climb gentle slopes, and cross small streams as you search for signs of wildlife. Keep an eye out for sambar deer, Douc Langurs, wild pigs, Great Hornbills, and if you're lucky — a glimpse of a rare Gaur or a bear species. Set up camp near a tranquil jungle stream.

Estimated Trekking Distance: 10–12 km
Elevation Gain: 200–300 m

After breakfast, continue your journey through varied terrain until the forest gives way to the stunning highland grasslands of Veal Thom. Reach the open plains by afternoon and enjoy spectacular views of this remote and untouched ecosystem. Watch the sunset paint the horizon while relaxing at your grassland campsite. This area is a wildlife hotspot and a favorite for nature photographers and conservationists alike.

Estimated Trekking Distance: 8–10 km
Elevation Gain: 100–200 m

Rise early to witness the magical sunrise over the grassland. Join your guide for a quiet morning wildlife walk — the best time to spot animals like muntjac deer, gibbons, and hornbills. After a relaxed breakfast, begin your descent from the open highlands back into the dense jungle. Trek through thick foliage to your final jungle camp near a fresh water stream, where you'll spend the night surrounded by nature.

Estimated Trekking Distance: 6–8 km
Elevation Gain: 150–200 m (mostly descent)

On your final day, hike out of the forest toward Taveng District, where your driver awaits.

Your 5-day jungle odyssey concludes with unforgettable memories and a deep connection to Cambodia’s wildest frontier.
