Homestays in Stung Treng

River people, dolphins and the wildest stretch of the Mekong.

In short

Stung Treng's homestays are at Preah Rumkel, a Mekong community just below the Lao border, where the river breaks into channels, rapids and flooded forest. It is the base for the northernmost Irrawaddy dolphins in Cambodia and for kayaking the Ramsar wetlands.
