Green Plateau Lodge, Ban Lung
Simple - £
Introduction
Serene, simple, but effusively friendly, Green Plateau Lodge in Ban Lung is a Khmer-style boutique lodge with a large, flourishing garden. Its vantage point offers views of smouldering tropical sunsets and the hazy mountains of Ratanakiri Province.
Tucked away in far north-eastern Cambodia, Ratanakiri is a distant, developing region – but if you don’t mind braving a few unpaved roads, you’ll be richly rewarded. A fascinating culture of diverse ethnic groups living in a spot of beautiful, untrammelled wilderness awaits those who make the trip.
Rainforest-fringed Yeak Lom crater lake is less than 5 km from the lodge. Further afield, go trekking in the vast Virachey National Park. Not only is this an unparalleled opportunity to experience distant, unspoiled forests, it’s also big on ecotourism, so you can minimise your impact on the local environment.
Don’t let its remote location fool you, though: Green Plateau Lodge is a modern affair with light, comfy rooms that have creature comforts such as Wi-Fi and cable TV.
Facilities
Three hearty meals a day are served at Green Plateau’s restaurant – take your pick of Asian or Western fare. Or, order room service for a more private dining experience.
You can arrange tour guides and transport right from the lodge. This handy option means you don’t have to waste time navigating logistics locally, so you can make the most of Ratanakiri’s nature instead.
Green Plateau also offers free airport and bus terminal pickups, which comes in handy while trying to get around the area.
Why We Love It
The friendly, unpretentious atmosphere is perfect to come home to after an arduous day of trekking.
