Bengal Florican Half Day

5 hours

Easy

See one of Cambodia's critically endangered species in a morning of sensational birding.
 Two hours outside of Siem Reap remains one of the last strongholds for the critically endangered Bengal Florican. Bengal Florican Conservation Area provides a habitat for two thirds of the Bengal Floricans population that continue to be at risk from the reduction of their habitat and hunting. Not only is this a must-have for any birder's life list, part of the money from every tour goes towards protecting this fragile population from extinction. This half day tour is also an excellent opportunity to see Sarus Crane and Manchurian Reed Warbler.
