Bokeo Nature Reserve

The Bokeo Nature Reserve encompasses 123,000 hectares of mixed deciduous forest and mountains, featuring diverse wildlife across elevations from 500 to 1500 meters.

The reserve gained protection status in 2004 following the 1997 discovery of black-cheeked gibbons, a species previously recorded as extinct in scientific records.

Local residents maintain traditional practices within designated areas of the reserve while supporting conservation efforts through community-based initiatives and guided tours.

Visitors reach the reserve through Ban Houayxay, accessing elevated canopy huts connected by zip lines that serve as observation points for wildlife viewing.

Four large tree houses positioned 40 meters above ground level enable guests to observe black-cheeked gibbons in their natural forest habitat.
