Tour Details

Trek into the Conservation Gibbons in the Virachey national park!

Itinerary – 2 Day / 1 Night

Explore the Veun Sai-Siem Pang National Park with Gibbon Experience Cambodia. You’ll spend the night at the gibbon research station and trek into the gibbons’ territory at dawn with expert rangers to spot these rare primates in the wild.

Not only will you witness an endangered species, but your tour directly supports gibbon conservation efforts. A once-in-a-lifetime adventure that makes a real difference!

DAY 1

We’re leaving from Banlung at 8:30 in the morning by Motor or vehicle and drive until the Sesan river in Veun Sai where we cross the river an hour later with a local ferry. On the other side of Sesan river we continue our journey by either motorbikes with local drivers, a local to the research station 18 km deep in the Veun Sai-Siem Pang National Park.  The trail goes through local villages, forest and past rice paddies and farms.

We arrive at the research station at about 11:30, just in time for a lunch picnic and then meet the rangers, local guides and researchers to learn about the park management and general information about the area and yellow-cheeked gibbons. After the meeting we bring our things to our room or tent, whichever option you selected, and have some time to relax.

Get ready for a short two-hour trek through the surrounding forest!

We may see some birds and other animals and we learn of the local communities collect an oily resin from trees in the jungle. We trek through the forest for around and then return to the station for a shower. The dinner is prepared by a cook from the local cummunity. Please let us know in advance if you have any allergies, food preferences or if you would like vegetarian or vegan food so that we can prepare that for you. We need to go to bed early, because the next morning we need to be on our feet while it’s still dark. Set the alarm clock to 4:00 AM

DAY 2

We get up and prepare to walk to the area habituated with gibbons an estimated 5 km away from the campsite. If you have problems with walking long distances due to your health, please inform us in advance. We will arrange to send you close to the area by motorbike. Coffee and breakfast are prepared by the cook. You can eat it during the hike or once we arrived and wait for the gibbon calls. We are accompanied by a local expert gibbon ranger who will lead us to the primates once the calls start.

Let the gibbons experience get started!

The calls are very loud, and we almost can’t miss them, you can hear it from up to 2 km away. The gibbons may approach us just a couple meters away, they are curious animals. This gives you the opportunity of a once in a lifetime picture or even a selfie! We can spend two to three hours there, depending on us and the animals too. After this adventure we hike back to the research station for lunch. Afterwards we head back to Banlung on the same way that we came from. We arrive in Banlung at about 3:00 PM.

To see different kind of really gibbons’ habitats.

Tipping isn’t expected in Cambodia, but it is always appreciated. Many service workers in Cambodia earn a low salary, so if you are happy with the services provided by waiters, drivers, guides or others, leaving a small tip depending on the service is a good way to show your appreciation. The amount is entirely a personal preference, however the commonly used guideline is USD $15–20 per day for tour guide and $5-10 per day for driver whereas In restaurants you can tip 10% of the bill and in hotels you may give $5 for bellman and maid. Of course, you are free to tip more or less as you see fit, depending on your perception of service quality and the length of your trip. Remember, a tip is not compulsory and should only be given when you receive excellent services.

No, we don’t but we strongly recommend you to buy your own travel insurance

The American dollars are accepted everywhere in Cambodia. If you withdraw money from an ATM machine with your international card, you’ll only get not Khmer Riels but only US Dollar and it’s accepted everywhere in Cambodia except COIN AND OLD NOTE. All torn or old note of US dollar bills or coin are not acceptable in Cambodia.

While visiting any temples, both male or female visitors must dress respectfully and at your own comfort, we strongly recommend modest clothing. This means clothing that covers your shoulders and knees. Loose, lightweight, long clothing is both respectful and cool in the predominantly hot Asian climate. Comfortable shoes are a must. The Apsara Authority which manages the park reserves the right to refuse entry to certain areas of the site for guests who wear clothing which is considered immodest.

During the trek:

For overnight in the jungle, you will be staying in a covered hammock with forest furniture to relax and eat our meals (each hammock has its own mosquito net attached). Sometimes we even build a roof tent above our hammocks depends on the weather. There are however no facilities to support camping in the forest so we organize an expedition from local villagers to take in our food and equipment. There will be also cooks, rangers and English speaking guide. These guys will cook and prepare hammock for you in the forests. Though everyone of the group will need to help carry some stuff like a hammock and a bit of water. The toilet facilities are rudimentary and ‘back to nature’ in style and bathing is in the stream.

All meals are provided with the trek as mentioned in the itinerary. Please note that there is no possibility of cooking different food for individuals. Please let us know at the time of booking if you are a vegetarian.

Is there Malaria?

Like much of rural Cambodia, the site has mosquitoes that may carry malaria.

Malaria can be potentially fatal if contracted and as such clients are advised to seek medical advice concerning malaria avoidance prior to visiting the site. Avoiding being bitten by mosquitoes is the most effective way to avoid malaria.

Many travelers to Cambodia also choose to take malaria prophylaxis, a medication which prevents malaria in the case of infection. If you become ill after leaving the site, be aware that you may have malaria and need to seek immediate medical advice. 

Cambodia experiences a dry season and a green season. The dry season occurs each year from about November to June. The wet season comprises the remainder of the year, with rain and flooding occurring in varying degrees of intensity. Hence we will only be running treks for 8 months each year. During this period, we plan to take back to back treks, however, at certain times it can be difficult to walk up and down the mountains. If the weather is particularly bad then there could be some blackout dates during this period. We will endeavor to take treks with limited interruptions.

Cambodia roads can also be rough and bumpy, and delays are sometimes unavoidable. A dash of patience will go a long way toward your enjoyment of this beautiful country!
