Phnom Kulen, The Sacred Grove

Whispered prayers mingle with the sigh of white water tumbling from jagged cliffs. White-robed, cadaverous Ajar, Cambodia’s esoteric wise men, offer blessings to a crowd of well dressed Khmers, fragrant minarets of smoke rising from their smouldering incense. This is Phnom Kulen or Kulen Mountain perhaps Cambodia’s most revered sacred grove.

The Jungle House

Beneath the remains of a ruined house in the middle of the forest there is a silent underground house with the loud, sweet sound of bats as well as the sound of a water fall. The house, now in ruins, is that of the Cambodian Democratic leader, Ta Mok, Brother No.1.

Kamping Puoy lake, the lake of tears

Phnom Penh based NGO Khmer Community Development (KCD) think they have found the ideal balance.

Unsung Serenity

Timeless and sublime, the dusty approach to the forest temple of Prasat Prei Basack is without parallel. Flocks of birds lazily rise from a shimmering lake, cows and buffaloes lethargically chew their cud.
