Yeak Laom Lake is situated around 5 kilometers southeast of focal Banlung. This wonderful lake is a pit shaped after a volcanic emission more than 4000 years back; the distance across of this lake speaks the truth 800 meters and it bears around 50 meters of clear water.

Toward one side, there are two wooden stages for visitors to see the lake very close, however a few individuals can't avoid a plunge to feel the glow of the water for themselves.


A way encompasses the lake, giving a restful track to trekking. A stroll around the lake takes around forty minutes. Halfway along the track, at the western end of the lake, there is a little guest focus which displays and offers nearby crafted works, for example, musical instruments, crossbows, bushel, scarves and purses produced using hand-woven material.

Wild pigs and uncommon feathered creatures including falcons can be seen around the lake and sightseers might likewise spot seldom seen vast brilliantly hued butterflies; some with wing compasses of up to 20 centimeters.

The Cambodian expression " Yeak Laom ', deciphered into English signifies "titans" and 'environment'. In this manner, the legend of the lake, regularly recounted by nearby raconteurs, goes as takes after:

In antiquated time, there was an effective titan ruler who had the most alluring little girl. Both her hair and body transmitted a fragrant smell so the goliath lord named her 'Neang Sak Kra Oob' which signifies 'fragrant hair young lady'. When she grew up, an in number, nice looking man came to charm her. Their adoration for one another soon grew up solid however this exquisite couple was anxious about the possibility that that the goliath lord would in the end find their mystery cherish so they both chose to escape into the profound woodland.

Before long, the goliath ruler scholarly of his little girl's circumstance and he was both profoundly stunned and upsets. To begin with he communicated compassion for his little girl. At that point he amassed a regiment of troops to look for his dearest girl. His whole kingdom and the wilderness were checked by his massive armed force of warriors yet they could locate no indication of her even as they at long last came to the thick timberland where a lake is found today.

The goliath lord suspected that his girl may be in the woods so he conveyed his huge powers to secure the border of the woodland. All of a sudden, he requested every one of his troops to haul out of the woodland and burrow there encompassing ground profoundly to locate his valuable little girl. They all burrowed with life however the warriors in the long run got to be depleted and their endeavors were without much of any result. At last, the goliath ruler reluctantly requested every one of his troops to come back to his kingdom.

The titan hold burrowed by the goliath lord's troops, including the evacuating of trees, in an unsuccessful push to locate the King's little girl, has left this profound lake in the Ratanak Kiri zone. That is the reason the nearby individuals call this site "Yeak Laom Pond".

In any case, there is a marginally diverse adaptation from that already said. This variant pronounces that there was a titan officer who had attempted to capture the goliath lord's little girl and separate her from her mate. At the point when the troops of the leader encompassed the mountain where they were concealing, this flawless couple imagined that there was no real way to get away.

Since their intimate romance, them two chose to wish to vanish into the ground. They both began to appeal to the otherworldly power, Preah Eisey, and to the greater part of the divine beings, 'with your aware mystical forces ensuring this range in interminability, it would be ideal if you we will yield our live by making the sink down '. All of a sudden, the mountain range rapidly sunk into the ground including the monster lord's little girl and her significant other. This is the reason this level top has turned into a profound lake and is the reason the nearby individuals call this lake 'Yeak Laom'.

Another old folktale guarantees that the narrative of the birthplace of this 'Yeak Loam' name is totally distinctive and likely more convincing. The reviews that "Yeak" in the dialect of the old minority living there implied the 'proprietor or the head of the villagers'. "Loam" was the name of the individual who was a previous head of that region. In this way, there for the words 'Yeak Laom' is an aware indication of the hallowed and profound nature of their old pioneer that used to govern the nearby minority individuals in bliss and congruity quite a while prior.
