Exploring Lum Kut Lake#

Lum Kut is the second of Ratanakiri’s two volcanic lakes, the other being the more accessible Yeak Laom Lake. Barely visited by anyone but local villagers, this heart-shaped lake is slightly larger than its popular neighbour yet nearly as beautiful, especially after the rainy season, when the vegetation around its shores is green and lush.
