We’ll depart from our hotel at 08:00 AM. We’ll leave for the Banteay Chhmar Eco-tourism community, and on the way will stop to visit the remote villages and unseen attraction sites. The first stop at Peung Tanon (also written as Perng Ta Norn) is about 2 hours drive north of Siem Reap. It’s becoming a popular day trip for local and international travelers because of its massive sandstone rock formations, also called standing stones, which provide a glimpse into another slice of Khmer history. Continue to drive to visit Phnom Srok Village to stop for lunch, and also visit the Ang Trapeang Thmor. Ang Trapeang Thmor is a unique wetland ecosystem giving a home to over 200 bird species including the endangered Sarus Crane. The population of the Sarus Crane species in this area rose consistently over the years to number more than 300 birds today.,Continue to drive to Banteay Chhmar temple, which is also referred to as the “Fortress of the Cat”. This large temple is rarely visited by tourists due to its remoteness, thus it makes a refreshing change from the crowds at Angkor Wat. Severe looting has prevented archaeologists from understanding the temple and its function in detail, leaving its use to speculation. A low-key community tourism project has recently been established in the village to help the poor people taking care of the temple to supplement their incomes. Upon arrival, the local community will welcome you and members will join you to visit the temple explaining its history. Enjoy the sunset in the rice field with cold drinks (coconut, local beer, and other soft drinks).,Get back to the community to have dinner and we will stay one night in a Khmer Traditional House with the local family.
