Cambodia Birding Tours
Cambodia Birding Tours are a fantastic way to explore Cambodia, a hidden gem for birdwatchers, offering a range of habitats from dense forests and wetlands to open grasslands. The country boasts over 600 bird species, including some rare and endangered species, making it a must-visit destination for birding enthusiasts.
Cambodia is a top destination for birdwatching, with several remarkable locations that attract both beginner and experienced birders. Among the most notable spots is the Tonle Sap Lake, renowned for its rich diversity of waterbirds like the Milky Stork and Greater Adjutant, especially during the dry season. Cambodia Birding Tours often feature visits to Ang Trapeang Thmor Reserve, known for the endangered Sarus Crane, offering sightings of a wide range of bird species in a unique wetland habitat.
With its diverse ecosystems and impressive variety of birdlife, Cambodia Birding Tours provide an unforgettable experience for anyone passionate about nature and birdwatching.
Tmatboey Village, located in Preah Vihear Province, is particularly famous for sightings of the critically endangered Giant Ibis and White-shouldered Ibis, making it a highlight for birders exploring Cambodia’s northern plains. Meanwhile, the Mekong floodplains around Kratie provide opportunities to spot the Mekong Wagtail and other riverine species, perfect for those interested in river-based birdwatching experiences. Bokor National Park offers a mix of montane and lowland forest habitats, where species like the Silver Pheasant and Wreathed Hornbill can be seen.
The best time to enjoy Cambodia Birding Tours is during the dry season, from November to April. During these months, bird activity is at its highest, and the weather is cooler, making it easier to explore the diverse landscapes. Whether you’re visiting the wetlands, forests, or floodplains, the dry season ensures optimal conditions for birdwatching and a chance to spot some of the rarest and most beautiful bird species Cambodia has to offer.
