Treak Village Walk and Talk Tour

Every Visitor Makes an Impact.  Why not Make Yours a Positive One
Treak Village is home to around 230 families, half surviving day to day.  The Village mostly consists of farmers and while Siem Reap is changing quickly; change here is slow, giving you the opportunity to see life in a typical village.   From the grounds of an ancient pagoda to vast rice fields and stilt homes this should not be missed.
