This is Cambodia's only experience combining all six lotus craft workshops in one journey. Unlike typical temple tours, you'll master the complete lotus-to-textile process while creating six authentic souvenirs.

You're supporting one of the world's rarest textile traditions—lotus silk production—with only a few hundred artisans practicing this ancient craft globally. This social enterprise has empowered rural Cambodian women since 2003.

The experience culminates in a peaceful boat ride through pristine lotus fields where you photograph the natural beauty that inspired your handicrafts. Most Siem Reap activities offer either nature OR culture—this delivers both in perfect harmony.

Small groups ensure personalized instruction from master artisans. You'll gain deep cultural knowledge beyond the temples.

Every handmade creation represents authentic skills passed through generations. This is hands-on cultural preservation you can touch, learn, and take home.
