Indagare Tours: Connecting with Cambodian Country People

A common complaint among temple tourists is that they leave for home without having seen “the real Cambodia.” These two tours address that concern authentically and with a high degree of sensitivity. Guests join a local family and spend a few hours helping with a harvest, planting rice, weaving thatch or even learning to drive a bullock cart. The full day tour directly helps all villagers providing a sustainable income year round. For those with less time, there is a “walk and talk” excursion to Treak Village, home to around 230 families, many of whom survive day to day.  This pleasant and educational outing is a walk back in time to slower village life not unlike it was in the age of Angkor. Both trips can end at a stunning village house surrounded by rice paddies for an elegant candlelit dinner or back at an exceptionally healing spa retreat surrounded by soaring bamboo.
