There are rescue dogs and cats in the centre, so you will have an opportunity to walk the dogs and sit with the cats if you wish.

Day 9 to 10 - Siem Reap’s Inspiring Projects

Today we travel South to Siem Reap, en-route we will visit the APOPO Centre where we'll discover how locals train African Giant Pouched Rats (they are much cuter than they sound) to detect landmines in Cambodia and beyond. These rats and their trainers play a vital role in clearing these dangers. We will see the rats in action, learn about Cambodia’s recent history, and even hold a rat yourself- they're actually very cuddly!

After a delightful lunch at the Botanical Gardens, we will visit the Metta Karuna Reflection Center, an interfaith reflection centre doing incredible work in the fields of human rights, refuges and human trafficking, peace and reconciliation, and campaigning against landmines and cluster bombs.

The next day, we will take part in community projects outside of Siem Reap helping to make specially adapted wheelchairs for landmine survivors. Later on we'll deliver these wheelchairs as well as rice to rural villages and meet some local families to learn more about their daily lives.

For many people, one day at Angkor Wat just isn't enough, so we have added this extra day in Siem Reap so that you can retun for a further exploration. We will arrange for a tuk-tuk to take you there and you can enjoy the day at your own pace.

If you don't want to return to Angkor Wat, we will arrange a visit to one of the floating villages in Siem Reap. These are truly fascinating places where there are no roads and all the traffic is on the water.

In the evening we will gather as a group one last time for our Farewell Dinner. If you want to extend your trip to Cambodia, we don't offer an add-on but can help you to arrange transport to one of the many beaches in the south of Cambodia or Vietnam.
