Banteay Chhmar Holidays
Banteay Chhmar Temple stands as a revered relic of Cambodia's rich cultural heritage, dating back to the Angkorian period. Despite centuries of obscurity, recent efforts by the Cambodian government, local authorities, and organisations like the Global Heritage Fund and Heritage Watch have aimed to conserve this national treasure. With its inclusion on Cambodia's tentative list for UNESCO World Heritage status, Banteay Chhmar Temple represents a beacon of hope for preservation and community development. As part of this initiative, community-based tourism (CBT) initiatives have emerged, offering travellers an opportunity to experience the temple's splendour while supporting local livelihoods through activities such as homestays and guided tours. Ultimately, visitors are encouraged to cherish not only the temple's architectural marvels but also the warmth and hospitality of the local community.
