Virachey National Park

Picturesque natural forest, stunning mountains, plateaus, valleys, local ethnic communities and a diverse wildlife all await visitors at Virachey National Park.
Virachey National Park covers an area of 3,325 square kilometers overlapping the districts of Veun Sai and Taveng about 60 km north of Banlung town. The Virachey Park serves as the largest national park in Cambodia. Many of the trees here are about a thousand years or older; more than a hundred bird species including the Great Hornbill and Red-collared Woodpecker share the park with a diversity of other wildlife species.

The vast forests, grasslands, mountains and valleys remain largely unexplored and undisturbed by human settlement and may still harbor new and undiscovered wildlife species.
Tigers, elephants, wild cattle and a number of spectacular, globally threatened primate and bird species have been spotted here. The northeast of Cambodia has been the home to many indigenous hill tribe people for centuries and remains a center for cultural diversity in the region.

Indigenous Brau and Kavet people depend on the natural resources of Virachey for their survival and several communities are now participating in the park’s ecotourism program. Virachey has a rich, albeit tragic, historical heritage through its association with the American Vietnam war, the legacy of which can still be readily observed along the infamous Ho Chi Minh Trail that traverse the park.

Virachey National Park was designated ASEAN Heritage Park in 2003 in recognition of its outstanding contribution to regional and international biodiversity conservation. This is one of two ASEAN Heritage Parks in Cambodia; the other being the Preah Monivong (Bokor) National Park in the province of Kampot.
