About Travel to Banlung
Banlung is a small remote provincial capital in the far North East of Cambodia. Banlung has around 30,000 permanent residents and a small range of hotels, restaurants and bars catering to foreign visitors. Banlung is far more of an ‘off the beaten track’ destination than Kampot or Kampong Cham. The town of Banlung itself, however, is not the main reason most foreign visitors choose to come visit this area. The surrounding countryside is very beautiful and sparsely populated. Outside of Banlung there are lots of small villages inhabited by ethnic minorities. Many people in this part of Cambodia still live in small wooden houses and follow traditional cultural and religious practices.
