You need a bit of preperation before visiting the twin lakes. Firstly you need a motorbike that can handle the journey through a narrow path through holes and mud and over rough and smooth. A little city scooter will surely not do the job and it wont be fun; the journey is part of the experience. Also make sure to pack some drinks. Your last chance to buy anthing is in Seda, the small town where to turn towards the Lomkod lake.

You’ve have arrived your destination when you see the spirit house and bench on top of a hill. See photo below. Park your bikes there and walk down the path towards the lakes.

We arrived there in the afternoon and were welcomed by dozens of animal sounds. Most of them unknown to us and one could have even been a monkey sounds. Over our heads circled a flock of at least 100 parrots. It made the tough journey so worth it. The lakes kind of gives you the feeling as if you are very first person to have ever seen it, a real explorer vibe.

The water of the Yeak Aom lake was very clear, just like Yeak Laom lake nearby Banlung, with the exception that we were the only people swimming there.
