VIRACHEY NATIONAL PARK

Virachey National Park, located in Ratanakiri Province, is part of one of the largest protected forest in Asia. Consisting of forests, mountains, grasslands and valleys, Virachey is largely unexplored and undisturbed by human settlement. From Tigers to Elephants, the park is home to numerous species of wildlife. Hill Tribe villages can be found in remote areas around the fringes of the park. The remains of the Ho Chi Minh Trail run through the eastern edge of the park. A number of mountain streams flow out from the park.
The trek into the center of the park involves a multi-day journey and reaches Veal Thom, a large natural grassland (see Deep Jungle Trek).
