Dear Travel Partners,

 

Focus Asia are pleased to provide you with these exciting new tours, activities and news updates for Cambodia...


 
Kulen Nature Trails - Siem Reap's only nature trails

Each trail winds through semi-evergreen forest where rare Indochinese silvered langur populations are known to live.  They are easy to walk and start and end at the same location:  Preah ang Thom Village.  Local rangers accompany the tour group and share their knowledge of the forest.  You can combine a trails walk with a visit to the waterfall, the lingas and the reclining Buddha.

 

About Phnom Kulen National Park:
The largest forested area in Siem Reap province, PKNP is 25km from Banteay Srey and less than 50km from Siem Reap town.  The park functions as Siem Reap's primary water source, is rich in archaeological treasures and is home to an amazing variety of wildlife - on these trails, possible wildlife sightings include langurs, pig-tailed macaques, black giant squirrels and many species of birds, reptiles, insects and amphibians.


 
Giving Back:

Visitors to the Kulen Nature Trails are contributing to the protection and sustainable management of Phnom Kulen National Park and the wildlife that lives there.


 

Bambu Stage - Modern Khmer Dance, Siem Reap

New Cambodian Artists (NCA) is a group of four young and talented dancers from Siem Reap, Cambodia, who perform modern dances based on classical vocabulary. Their style is very NOW, but firmly rooted in Cambodian tradition.  NCA is a new generation of independent and strong female performers, taking it to the stage for the public to experience this unique and creative style.


In 2012 NCA started as a small dance company in Siem Reap. The four dancers are graduates from the School of Fine Arts, Siem Reap. They train five days a week in a dedicated rehearsal space.  They have performed in Kep at Knai Bang Chat, in Phnom Penh for Coca-Cola and at the Raffles Royal Hotel for CWEA, in Siem Reap at Palate, Life in the City Festival at the Phare Cambodian Circus, in Gallery 1961, at the show of fashion designer Eric Raisina, and for guests of Amansara.

 

NCA receives funding through smaller and larger gifts from generous individuals and though performance fees.

Angkor Wat becomes a popular tourist destination for celebrities

Over the New Year world-famous singer Beyonce and her husband Jay Z were pictured taking in the sights of Cambodia's historic Buddhist temple, Angkor Wat.


 
Situated in the imperial capital Angkor, the complex was initially intended to honour the Hindu god Vishnu but by the 14th century later rulers had converted the site into a Buddhist temple.


 
Today, the temple - often referred to as The Eighth Wonder Of The World - attracts more than a million visitors.
