— What You Can Expect —
Just beyond Siem Reap, the village of Trei Nhoar welcomes you into everyday Cambodian life. Since 2022, Discova has been working alongside local families here to build a community-led tourism experience that creates opportunity without changing identity. Join us for an immersive countryside journey with comfortable transport, hands-on village activities, and an unforgettable home-style Khmer outdoor cooking class… plus a few authentic traditions you’ll discover along the way.
Begin your journey with an introduction to the village and the families who call it home. Learn how community-led tourism has created meaningful income beyond farming and how Discova and local leaders work together to strengthen education, sanitation, and skills training. Then take a gentle walk through rice fields, vegetable gardens, and quiet lanes.
Your experience continues in an outdoor kitchen for a hands-on Khmer cooking session. Collect fresh herbs and vegetables from the garden, then learn traditional preparation techniques guided by local cooks trained in partnership with Discova. Discover the balance of flavors home cooks use every day, and prepare classic dishes enjoyed across rural Cambodia. Then sit down together to share the meal, exchange stories, and connect the way neighbors do: simply and sincerely.
After lunch, join village artisans to learn the craft of weaving. Using natural or recycled materials, try your hand at creating a small item to take home. This centuries-old skill reflects the community’s creativity and resourcefulness, and your participation directly supports local makers.
We designed this tour not only as a cultural activity but to make you understand Cambodia through its people, food, land, and hopes for the future. Your visit contributes to ongoing community programs, including water filtration systems, sanitation projects, homestay development, and training for local hosts and chefs. Come and enjoy the peaceful countryside and become part of a growing story of connection, cultural pride, and shared progress.
