Prek Toal Bird Sanctuary

Prek Toal is one of three biopheres on Tonle Sap lake, and this stunning bird sanctuary makes Prek Toal the most worthwhile and staightforward of the three to visit . it is an ornithologist's fantasy, with a significant number of rare breeds gathered in one small area, including the huge lesser and greater adjutant storks, the milky stork and the spot-billed pelican. Evan the uninitiated will be impressed, as these birds have a huge wingspan and build enormous nests.
     Visitors during the dry season (December to
April) Will find the concentration of birds like something out of a Hitchcock film. It is also possible to visit from September, but the concentration may be lower. As water starts to dry up elsewhere, the birds congregate here. Serious twitchers know that or late afternoon and this means an early start or an overnight at Prek Toal's environment office, where there are basic beds for US$15/20 per single/double.
