This unique short tour uncovers sights few get to see.

After exploring Koh Ker temple complex, we travel on to your home for two nights – our community ecolodge, nestled on the banks of a 12th Century ‘baray’, or reservoir. This simple but comfortable wooden lodge is run by the Ecotourism community of Prey Veng Village – a project that is essential to the conservation of Critically Endangered large birds in Cambodia. 

The lodge is just 300 meters from a deserted ruined temple, and we have mapped out routes around the baray – which acts as the essential water source for both community and wildlife. You can explore at your leisure, visiting the village and community forest to learn about traditional land use practises, or just relax on the viewing platform with sundowners. Explore the dry forests of the Northern Plains uncovering Cambodia’s unique birds and wildlife on the way.

        When to go:
        The cooler dry season between November and May make it easier to access the sites, but the vivid green beauty of the wetter seasons make this tour remarkable all year round. During rainy season, Prey Veng comes to life and access is by 4x4 car!
