Into Cambodia: Ban Lung and the crater lake


Ban Lung is in the Northeast of Cambodia in Ratanakiri province. The town itself is small and a cloud of red dust fills the air. It's famous for the Yeak Laom which is lake formed in a volcanic crater.

We spent the morning walking around the lake's perimeter, stopping every now and then to admire our surroundings and watch the local kids fishing. We found this tree which formed a natural bridge over the path and into the lake.

It was a scorchingly hot day (37 degrees) so we spent the afternoon swimming and leaping into the water with a group of local kids.
