About The Program

Embark on an exciting 7-day trekking scouting adventure through the breathtaking Virachey National Park in Ratanakiri, exclusively for advanced nature and outdoor enthusiasts who want to experience the design of a new empowerment tour.

Together with you and only a few peers, we will undertake a preliminary journey to assess and explore the Virachey National Park on new paths. Together, we will develop a new “Natural Coaching” product for the YEP Academy, taking inspiration from untouched and unique natural beauty and diverse wildlife.

We will hike every day, orient ourselves with a compass, maps, and GPS, search for water sources, and find new, unknown places to spend the night.

The Virachey National Park offers us a stunning backdrop for our expedition, allowing us to explore new methods of self-empowerment.

As we push our limits, we will encounter hidden trails and traverse challenging situations.

All while being rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views and a cozy campfire with a meal of the food we have brought ourselves.
