Description
We build up this program for visitors who love watching bird. Prek Tuol is the most accessible from Siem Reap and the most popular with birdwatchers.
The bird sanctuary at the Prek Tuol core area of the Tonle Sap Biosphere Reserve is considered as the single most important breeding group in South-east Asia for globally threatened large water birds. The area is covered with 31,282 hectares at the northwest tip of the Tonle Sap Lake. There are basic overnight accommodations at the Research Station in case you want to stay the night to take full advantage of the sunset and early morning viewing hours.
(Noted: Recommend the best period to observe bird life is from December to June as the dry season progresses and the water recedes, the number of birds increases however it becomes more difficult to reach some of the more important viewing area)
