After crossing the border, meet your Tuk-Tuk driver who will escort you to the Banteay Chhmar community.

Settle into your comfortable accommodations and prepare for an immersive cultural journey. 
After check-in and refreshing yourself, begin your tour by visiting Banteay Chhmar Temple and Ta Prohm Temple on foot. Your knowledgeable community guide will share the rich history of these ancient sites. Following the temple tour, continue your visit to the Soieries du Mékong Silk Center (SDM), where a group of skilled women create beautiful silk scarves.
