Traditional Monk Blessing and Lotus Farm Experience in Siem Reap

Heng (Sharita) was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. Best tour I’ve done in Siem Reap. Thank you for the memories

I’ve been travelling around Vietnam and Cambodia the past 2 weeks and this tour was definitely my highlight! I learnt so much from my amazing tour guide Lucky who was so friendly and welcoming. She shared so much with me about Cambodian culture and spirituality and was so patient at every stop. When we visited the monastery I asked if I could go back to the monk for a fortune reading, and Lucky and my tuk tuk driver Mome (I’m not sure how to spell her name) were very happy to wait. They gave me a cotton cloth as a gift and lots of delicious traditional street food to try along the way. I would

Hong is an incredible young woman - passionate about her country and Buddhism; breaking boundaries in a male dominated industry by creating her own business and employing women as well as connecting and supporting local businesses along the tour. A calm, relaxing tour where we learnt the meanings behind the offerings at temples - from offering 5 lotus flowers to releasing a bird (and our worries). The lotus farm was shady and a nice breeze where we collected and folded the petals of a lotus flower to offer to the monk later. The sustainability and process of lotus farming was amazing, as were

If you are looking for an authentic, deeply moving experience in Cambodia, look no further than the Khmer Water Blessing and Lotus Farm Visit. This wasn't just a tour; it was a masterclass in cultural immersion led by an incredible team. 🌟 Highlights of the Experience • Brilliant Guidance by Heng: Heng is a fantastic communicator. She explained every ritual and tradition with such clarity and brilliance that I never felt like an outsider—I felt like a true participant. She walked me through every step of the way, ensuring I understood the spiritual significance of the day. • The Art of the Lot

10/10 — would absolutely recommend this experience. Hong was one of the best tour guides I’ve ever had—thoughtful, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about sharing the culture. The tour itself felt incredibly meaningful, not just as a visitor experience but as something that actively supports the local community. What stayed with me most, though, was the kindness. From the monk’s blessing to every interaction along the way, there was a warmth and generosity I won’t forget. This is the kind of experience that sticks with you long after the trip ends.

A super special birthday surprise!🤍We had a traditional water blessing and lotus farm experience with our lovely tour guide, Hong. She and I exchanged messages beforehand, and I told her this was also a birthday present for my boyfriend turning 30. She organised a little fruit cake and even considered that we are both vegan when we were given traditional Cambodian snacks on the way. We learned a lot about Siem Reap's religious culture, and while these traditions might seem unusual to first-time visitors, Hong was kind and professional in explaining what we do and why, so we felt included and c

This was truly a wonderful experience. It was very unique and my guide was very attentive. I chose the water blessing tour, which included tuk-tuk transportation, a stop to buy lotus flowers for the offering, and a market where I could taste various foods, a visit to a lotus farm with an explanation of the supply chain and the collection of flowers for the monk's offering, and finally, a visit to the monastery where the water blessing took place. I highly recommend adding this tour if you are in Siem Reap.

This was the best part of my trip to Siem Reap. Highly recommend everyone to do it. My guides were both women and so was my tuk tuk driver. The conversation with the monk was moving and inspiring. I am so so glad I did this and would highly recommend it to everyone.

My guide and tuk tuk driver were both amazing. I learnt so much about Buddhism in Cambodia and local traditions. My guide was so kind and considerate along the way and I would not hesitate to recommend this tour. The monks blessing was an experience I will never forget and I received some amazing photos at the end taken by my guide. Thank you so much!

Wonderful experience with excellent guide and driver!

One of the best tours ever! It was awesome and Sarath (and the deiver) was amazing it felt like spending time with an old friend. I enjoyed every second of it. The Waterblessing was really special and i loved the help i got, when i didn‘t know how to do something. Would 100% recommend!
