Elephant rides from village Kateung. Travel with children. Ratanakiri. Banlung is a good base to visit the countryside; you also can have short elephant rides from the villages to waterfalls as well as a day or multi-day treks to the various ethnic villages or to Virachay National Park. With stunning natural beauty and ethnic diversity, Rattanakiri offers clear volcanic blue crater lakes, impressive waterfalls and panoramic views. Trek through the barely explored jungle and mountains of Virachey National Park accompanied by community guides, and keep a look out for gibbons. Take an elephant ride from the village of Kateung to the spectacular waterfall of Ka Tieng or trek to some of the twelve ethnic tribes for a once in a lifetime experience. Most guesthouses and hotels can arrange short elephant rides from nearby villages to local waterfalls. One of the most popular rides is from the village of Kateung to the spectacular waterfall of Ka Tieng. The ride takes about one hour, passing through beautiful rubber plantations. The usual charge is US$10 per person per hour. However, for a more responsible interaction with elephants, we suggest visiting the Elephant Valley Project in Mondulkiri Province and its unique ‘walking with the herd’ experience.
