Local Impact: How you will help the local community by joining this tour:

The Banteay Srei Butterfl Centre (BSBC) y cares for thousands of free flying butterfies. With a strong emphasis on conservation. 10% of each tour sold goes directly to the Centre. Revenue generated from admission fees to the Centre is used to support the farmers and their families by giving them a supplementary income. People from local communities are employed by BSBC to manage the centre, train and support the butterfly farmers and guide visitors. Another portion of the revenue from tourist admissions to the BSBC is used to support local conservation projects, such as biodiversity surveys. Reiserute

Join a friendly local guide for some serious temple-hopping, nature appreciation and an in-depth look at local life in Siem Reap. Together we’ll explore the most interesting and beautiful temples Banteay Srei has to offer, visit Southeast Asia’s largest butterfly centre,stop by the Cambodian Landmine Museum, enjoy a traditional Khmer lunch and meet the locals in Preah Dak village to find out about the production of sugar in the area.History, nature, sugar cane candy, and more— it’s a match made in perfect tour heaven…

During your Banteay Srei tour, we will explore the surrounding Banteay Srei district, meeting locals as we walk, hearing their stories and we’ll lead you to some lesser-known attractions that many tourists don’t know about. Get ready for a memorable day! Our first stop will be the Banteay Srei Butterfly Centre, where we’ll learn all about the lifecycle of butterflies. The netted tropical enclosure here contains thousands of beautiful, free- flying butterflies and is the largest of its kind in Southeast Asia. Revenue generated from tour admissions to the centre are also re-invested back into the local community to aid a number of poverty alleviation and conservation projects, so as you admire those beautiful butterflies, you can feel good about yourself too! The next stop on our tour is the Cambodian Landmine Museum which was established in 1997 by ex-child soldier Aki Ra. Following years of fighting, he returned to the villages where he had planted mines as a child soldierand began removing then by hand and defusing them with homemade tools. The museum aims to educate visitors on the importance of clearing landmines in Cambodia and also supports at-risk Khmer children. The truly stunning Banteay Srei Temple is next,which is home to some of the most exquisite stone carvings on earth. We’ll take a look around, learn a little about the temple and its history and, let’s be honest, pretend to be Indiana Jones for a few minutes.Since you're likely getting hungry at this point, we'll stop for a local lunch before heading to the next stop. On the way back, we’ll stop to meet the sugar palm community at Preah Dak Village, the biggest sugar palm producer in Siem Reap. Here you’ll get a chance to learn how this organic sugar is produced and hopefully you’ll get to taste one of their sweet treats too! Our last stops of the day will be at two more elaborate temples in the grand circle of Angkor. Neak Pean is a Buddhist temple on a circular island in Jayatataka Baraym, built during the reign of King Jayavarman VII. Then we'll finish off with a visit to Preah Khan Temple, one of the largest complexes at Angkor. After a full day of exploring and gathering some killer holiday snaps, we’ll head back into Siem Reap and drop you off at your centrally located hotel. Before you go, don’t forget to ask your local guide for more tips on what else to see, do and eat during your stay in Cambodia.
