Preah Vihear Temple
It is one of the most targeted tours in Cambodia. Standing about 550m on the clifftop near the Thai border, Preah Vihear temple is the heart of Angkorian architectures that became the world Heritage in 2008. It is a one that should not be missed.
Koh Ker Temple Group
Koh Ker is a temple group located in Preah Vihear province. It is a former-abandoned Angkorian capital (928-944 AD). The famous temple is called “Prasat Thom”, a Mayan-looking pyramid with seven tiers. Due to its isolation, it remains a secret and peaceful site.
Preah Khan Kampong Svay
Preah Khan Kampong Svay is another Angkor-period temple, located about 90km from Preah Vihear city. The temple is very remote, so only a few people know about it. The temple is covered by vines and trees that make it looks like the lost city.
Weaves of Cambodia
Weaves of Cambodia was originally established by the Vietnam Veterans of America Foundation. It is a silk-weaving centre that provides jobs for the rehabilitation of landmine and polio victims, widows and orphans. The appealing scarfs can be bought in the workshop with a reasonable price.
Kulen Promtep Wildlife
It is the only place on earth which is the inhabitation of Cambodia’s national birds and the critically endangered giant ibis. The Sam Veasna Centre is the only tour centre that arranges the trips to visit this sanctuary. It also provides education for the local residents.
Veal Krous Vultures
It is the only place in Cambodia to see the most critically endangered species including the slender-billed, the White-rumped and the red-headed vultures. Wildlife Conservation Society created a Vulture Restaurant to watch vultures eating dead animals. It is good for ornithologists.
