June 2014

At the beginning of the month we were pleased to, once again, welcome one of our favorite tour operators to Banteay Chhmar. Operation Groundswell joined us from June 3-6 for three fun-filled and informative days of temple touring, teaching in the CBT library, fishing and picnicking. Operation Groundswell is a non-profit organization that offers travel and community service experiences around the world. Their aim is to build a community of “backpacktivists” who are socially, environmentally and politically aware of their impact in the communities they travel to and live in. We always look forward to their visits. Please see their website for more information.

 

Also, in partnership with Khiri Travel, the CBT is pleased to announce that we will soon be offering a temple tent safari experience. Visitors will be able to stay in luxurious and fully furnished tents inside the main temple complex. Guests will receive a full complement of services and activities provided by Khiri and the CBT. This month, we had our a first mock setup which went very well. Please stay in touch with us or contact Khiri Travel for more information about pricing, availability, services and the official launching of this truly memorable temple and travel experience.
