Oxcart riding, rice threshing, cycling – the village life of Combodia awaits for you make part of it
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.
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!
