Cambodia Northern Plains Birding Tour done your way! 3 days, 2 night with option to see Preah Vihear Temple

  Giant Ibis Birding Tour: 3 days, 2 night. Departing from Siem Reap, we will travel into the heart of Preah Vihear to Tmat Boey Ecolodge, home of the Giant Ibis and White-shouldered Ibis. The Giant Ibis Birding Tour: 3 days, 2 nights is the perfect opportunity to see Giant Ibis and White-shouldered Ibis. SVC has had a 95% success rate to view these species between December and April.

For this tour, we also give you the option to visit the Bengal Florican Grasslands to see the world's most endangered bustard species. This would require a 5 am start from Siem Reap. Also, we give you the option to visit Preah Vihear Temple on the Cambodian-Thai board on Day 2. Preah Vihear Temple is one of the most spectacular temples outside of Angkor Wat and has only been open to the public for 10 years.
