BeTreed Adventures — Preah Vihear, Cambodia

We welcome you to BeTreed Adventures in Preah Vihear Province, Cambodia. Working closely with the local community, we have developed a unique ecotourism destination for off-the-beaten-path travelers, nature seekers, and adventurers in our eco-stay in a small part of wild Cambodia. We are approximately 3 hours’ travel time from Siem Reap town and are centrally located between Koh Ker and Preah Khan of Kompong Svay temples. BeTreed Adventures is working on the frontline to protect the Phnom Tnout Phnom Pok Wildlife Sanctuary in Cambodia: 42,000 hectares of Cambodian “savannah” land, or dry dipterocarp forest. Through visiting, you will support these conservation efforts, encouraging the will of the people to preserve and protect their forest as they realise that conservation can provide a tangible and immediate benefit to them.

Accommodation: Our stay at BeTreed Adventures will be in a local eco lodge that has simple private shower/toilet facilities with fans in the rooms.

Physical effort: This trip does not require any great physical effort in terms of long uphill hikes, but does require that participants are fit enough to walk, sometimes for 3-4 kilometres in hot conditions. The walking is mostly on a flat landscape, but some walking on even ground is needed to search for some key species. The physical effort required is well within the capabilities of most healthy people with the ability to deal with tropical climates.

Weather: Hot and dry weather is expected throughout this tour. There is always the possibility of a shower or two, given the world’s changing climate, but it is likely to be dry most, if not all, of the time. Midday temperatures are likely to be very hot, but most of the woodland sites we visit have low humidity. Wetland sites, however, can be fairly humid by their very nature. The tour has been paced so that we have plenty of time and are not forced to be birding throughout the heat of the day to see most of the birds.

Note: Other things to bring: hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, insect repellent, and binoculars.
