Ecotourism Programme

Trekking opportunities are now available for those with a sense of adventure and a desire to learn about the natural and cultural heritage of this beautiful park, the largest and one of the most remote national parks in the country.

Combining forest trekking, river journeys and village home-stays with the park's indigenous communities our tours offer a unique opportunity for visitors to see first hand why Virachey National Park is one of the top priority areas for conservation in Southeast Asia.

 
 

The ecotourism programme is the first of its kind in Cambodia and you have an opportunity to participate in this pioneering programme by taking part in one of its tours. Tour group sizes and frequency of trips are limited to ensure visitors enjoy their ecotourism experience and to minimise impacts to the Park and the communities. You will be pleased to know that your money will be used to contribute to the management and conservation of the Park and to improving the livelihoods of the local people.

The programme is currently developing supportive infrastructure, facilities and management systems, so please check this site regularly for the latest updates! Comprehansive information on trekking in Virachey National park is provided in a brochure which can be downloaded as pdf file.

All our tours include an ecotourism ranger guide and a community volunteer guide who are skilled in forest trekking and who will enrich your visit with Khmer and local indigenous knowledge of the cultural and environmental aspects of the park.

We welcome all those with a sense of adventure and a desire to participate in the development of this new ecotourism programme that aims to support the conservation of Virachey National Park and the livelihood improvement of local communities living around the park.

Are you ready for an adventure?
