Coral-billed Ground-Cuckoo Tour - Changkran Roy
Changkran Roy Community Forest is renowned as one of the few sites where you can reliably see Coral-billed Ground-Cuckoo and Bar-bellied Pitta. With rolling hills and streams the semi-evergreen habitat is ideal for mammals, butterflies and dragonflies.
Coral-billed Ground-Cuckoo tour to Changkran Roy is an ideal option for a bird photography experience just a short drive from Siem Reap. The Changkran Roy Ecotourism Committee has maintained photography hides to enhance the experience and increase your chances of spotting the target birds.
The community forest is home to mammals such as banteng, various bat species as well as butterflies and dragonflies. Other key species regularly seen here are Oriental bay Owl, Blyth's Frogmouth, Brown Boobook, Collared Scops Owl, and Asian-barred Owlet Check the full list here .
Besides its wildlife value, the community forest plays an important role in conservation by providing local people with alternative livelihoods through community-based ecotourism, guiding, accommodation, and other visitor services. Whilst the facilities here are quite basic, SVC Tours are actively working with the community to make improvements.
