Live a Combodian lifestyle in the Ecotourism site of Chambok
Chambok Ecotourism project in Cambodia is one sees locals experiencing transformed life due to tourism. Tourism became a medium for the local farmers to know their strengths of taking their guests for bird watching, forest walks, and local farming activities. Women love to host the guests in their homestays and cook for them traditional dishes. Cambok allows all travelers to experience nature and village life by offering trekking, swimming in natural streams, bird watching, oxcart riding, cycling, and involvement with the daily life of locals. Multiple villages within Chambok project, such as Chambok, Beng share the opportunity to host the guests.
Mr. Nut Cham is a local coordinator who belongs to the Chambok community and keeps track of guests visiting the region so that everyone gets an equal opportunity to host. He and many other local guides in the villages are the experts to give a complete village experience to guests. By taking them to see waterfall, swimming in the stream, farming activities such as rice thrashing, and making delicious local food available.
Run by a rotating roster of 328 women, the Women’s Restaurant is a special part of every visitor’s stay in Chambok. All meals are made from locally sourced ingredients and are freshly prepared using traditional cooking methods. Along with a range of traditional dishes, homestays also provide meals that include – Bread with butter, fried rice, fried vegetable, and porridge.
Villages within the Chambok Ecotourism project are surrounded by nature and fruit farms. Seeing the 40-meter high waterfall and swimming in the natural pond can be one soothing experience. Trained local guides can take you to see bat-cave and bird watching walks. Ox-carts are used in rural communities throughout Cambodia for farming, transportation. When not occupied, ride on an ox-cart to experience this traditional form of transport.

Are you choosing this homestay because you need some time away from your urban life? Does living in the countryside close to the farms excite you? If your answer is yes, start packing your bags now! You might not get uninterrupted internet here, but you’ll be far too busy exploring the most breathtaking and hidden jewels of Cambodia near Phnom Penh town.
Guests like to eat our Ladakhi food. They say it is delicious, even when it is prepared by an elderly ama (mother) like me. I always make sure I serve them the cleanest and healthiest food. My husband is a copper artist. When guests leave us, they say ‘Julley’, and hug us. It makes us feel happy.
I became a Mountain Homestay Host in 2018, and I have hosted many travellers since then. Running a homestay has helped me and my family a lot. Not only is the solar set up in our house useful for us, but even travellers prefer to stay in our homestay because of it.
The training we got in astronomy turned out to be a life-changing experience for our village. I felt happy and proud while mapping the position of the planets and sharing the secrets of the universe with the tourists. Tourists told me that even they didn’t know so much about the dark skies!
