Yeak Laom Lake is situated around 5 kilometers southeast of focal Banlung. This wonderful lake is a hole framed after a volcanic ejection more than 4000 years prior; the distance across of this lake is around 800 meters and it bears around 50 meters of clear water.
Toward one side, there are two wooden stages for voyagers to see the lake very close, however a few people can't avoid a plunge to feel the glow of the water for themselves.
A way encompasses the lake, giving a comfortable 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 neighborhood crafted works, for example, musical instruments, crossbows, crate, scarves and satchels produced using hand-woven fabric.
Wild pigs and uncommon feathered creatures including birds can be seen around the lake and sightseers may likewise spot once in a while observed expansive brilliantly shaded butterflies; some with wing ranges of up to 20 centimeters.
The Cambodian expression " Yeak Laom ', converted into English signifies "monsters" and 'environment'. In this way, the legend of the lake, regularly recounted by neighborhood raconteurs, goes as takes after:
In antiquated time, there was an intense monster lord who had the most appealing little girl. Both her hair and body discharged a fragrant smell so the monster ruler named her 'Neang Sak Kra Oob' which signifies 'fragrant hair young lady'. When she grew up, a solid, good looking man came to charm her. Their affection for each other soon grew up solid however this dazzling couple was anxious about the possibility that that the goliath lord would in the long run find their mystery adore so they both chose to escape into the profound timberland.
Before long, the mammoth ruler scholarly of his little girl's circumstance and he was both profoundly stunned and upsets. To begin with he communicated feel sorry for his girl. At that point he amassed a brigade of troops to look for his dearest little girl. His whole kingdom and the wilderness were checked by his massive armed force of troopers however they could locate no indication of her even as they at long last achieved the thick backwoods where a lake is found today.
The goliath lord presumed that his girl may be in the woodland so he conveyed his huge strengths to secure the border of the backwoods. All of a sudden, he requested every one of his troops to haul out of the woods and burrow there encompassing ground profoundly to locate his valuable girl. They all burrowed with power yet the officers inevitably got to be distinctly depleted and their endeavors were without much of any result. At last, the monster lord reluctantly requested every one of his troops to come back to his kingdom.
The goliath hold burrowed by the monster ruler's troops, including the evacuating of trees, in an unsuccessful push to discover the King's little girl, has left this profound lake in the Ratanak Kiri range. That is the reason the nearby individuals call this site "Yeak Laom Pond".
In any case, there is a marginally unique variant from that already specified. This adaptation announces that there was a monster leader who had attempted to capture the mammoth lord's little girl and separate her from her mate. At the point when the troops of the officer encompassed the mountain where they were concealing, this stunning couple suspected that there was no real way to get away.
Since their genuine romance, them two chose to wish to vanish into the ground. They both began to implore the profound power, Preah Eisey, and to the majority of the divine beings, 'with your deferential mysterious forces securing this region in interminability, if it's not too much trouble we will give up our live by making the sink down '. All of a sudden, the mountain zone rapidly sunk into the ground including the goliath ruler's girl and her partner. 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 antiquated folktale asserts that the tale of the starting point of this 'Yeak Loam' name is totally unique and likely more trustworthy. The reviews that "Yeak" in the dialect of the antiquated 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 territory. In this way, there for the words 'Yeak Laom' is an aware indication of the sacrosanct and profound nature of their antiquated pioneer that used to govern the nearby minority individuals in joy and amicability quite a while back.
