Nature has created a number of wonderful and beautiful places whose hidden charm lies deep in the forest, or in spots people have not yet reached. Even so, people keep searching and discovering them one after another.
Among them are extinct volcanoes that once caused danger in the distant past. Today they have become attractive landscapes, especially by forming several beautiful volcanic crater lakes.
Cambodia also has a well-known volcanic lake: Yeak Laom Lake. It sits in the red-soil highland of Ratanakiri province and was formed by a volcanic eruption hundreds of years ago.
Around Yeak Laom Lake, forest grows on every side and offers cool shade. The water is deep blue, cold, and clear as glass. Visitors can bathe or swim for leisure. The lake is about 800 meters across and 50 meters deep, shaped like the bottom of a pan. Warning signs mark some parts of the lake where swimming is not allowed.
Travelers who visit Ratanakiri rarely skip Yeak Laom Lake. From Banlung town, the trip is not far — about 30 minutes. You will find a quiet, beautiful scene that refreshes the mind.
