What's included in Private Tour: HERO Rats & Angkor National Museum
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Wat Thmey (Killing Fields)
Your day starts with a pick up at 8am or 13pm by your driver and experienced guide. Visit Wat Thmei, one of the killing field memorials, a small memorial stupa which contains the skulls and bones of victims killed during the regime of the Khmer Rouge during 1975 – 1979.
APOPO Visitor Center
We continue the tour at Apopo Visitor Center to learn about the history of conflict in Cambodia and the impact the region’s landmines has on the local communities. In place to make a difference are what’s known as the “Hero Rats”. Used because of their light weight, the rats have been trained to sniff buried landmines, a huge help in de-mining the region. Watch the rats in action at the helm of their trainers. (This experience is closed on weekends and public holidays and will be replaced by War Museum.)
Angkor National Museum
The day ends with a visit to the Angkor National Museum, an archaeological museum dedicated the collection, preservation and presentation of Angkorian artifacts. The collections are mainly dated from Khmer Empire's Angkor period circa 9th to 14th centuries, with most of the artifacts discovered in and around the Angkor archaeological sites nearby.
