The next will be the lotus farm. On the way, you will already be able to see the lotus fields along the road that leads to Tonle Sap Lake. Enjoy the stunning view of the lotus ponds while our local guide will explain about farming and harvesting methods. Cambodians make use of every component of the flower and lotus is often used in religious decorations and offerings. The edible parts of the plant—the roots, stems, and seeds—are commonly used in Cambodian cuisine. Even a unique type of silk is made from lotus fiber. You will also be able to pick some lotus flowers to prepare for the traditional water blessing ceremony at the temple.

Before getting to the water blessing, you will learn more about Buddhist belief, the role and structure of a local temple, and activities at the temple. Before getting ready for the traditional water blessing, you will have the unique opportunity to talk to a monk at the pagoda and hear about his personal stories. This is your moment to ask any questions related to Buddhism and Cambodian traditional beliefs. After the monk has shared some wisdom, we will present the monk with incense sticks and candles. A bright red symbolic bracelet will be presented to you as a gift for a peaceful life and to remain blessed following the monk's blessing. You can offer prayers for anything you can think of, including good fortune, safe travel, and a long and happy life.
PLEASE NOTE: During the water blessing, you will get completely wet, so make sure to bring a towel and clothes to get changed.
