Final Chi Phat photos #2

A veil of mist covered the surface of the Preak Piphot river as we began the day

Here are my final pictures from last weekend's Chi Phat adventures. All of these photos were taken on our two-day trek which began on the misty Preak Piphot river and carried on through the dense forest and finally across open grasslands as we made our way back to the village on the 2nd day.

Three of the traditional rowing boats that hitched a lift with our motorized boat

All is calm just before the sun rises over the Preak Piphot river

The warm glow of the rising early morning sun

We leave the main river and take a tributary for the next three hours

Two of the rowing boats round a corner; they enabled us to listen to the myriad of bird calls and to see monkeys and squirrels in the trees

Our guides cooking lunch in the middle of the forest

The stream at Chunlea Pran where we stopped for a rest and to watch a butterfly bonanza

Getting our feet wet on the latter part of the trek

These open rolling grasslands near the village came as a surprise to me
