Resplan
Dagen börjar med en hämtning klockan 8 eller 13 av din förare och erfaren guide. Besök Wat Thmei, ett av dödsfältets minnesmärken, en liten minnesstupa som innehåller kranier och ben av offer som dödades under regimen av Khmer Rouge under 1975-1979.
Vi fortsätter turnén på Apopo Visitor Center för att lära oss om konflikthistorien i Kambodja och den påverkan regionens landminor har på lokalbefolkningen. På plats för att göra skillnad är det som kallas "Hero Rats". Används på grund av sin lätta vikt har råttorna blivit utbildade för att snyta begravda landminor, en stor hjälp vid utvinning i regionen. Titta på råttorna i aktion hos sina tränare. (Denna erfarenhet är stängd på helger och helgdagar och kommer att ersättas av krigsmuseum.)
Dagen avslutas med ett besök på Angkor National Museum, ett arkeologiskt museum dedikerade insamling, bevarande och presentation av Angkorian artefakter. Samlingarna är huvudsakligen daterade från Khmer-rikets Angkor-tid ungefär 9 till 1400-talet, med de flesta artefakter som upptäckts i och runt de angkoriska arkeologiska platserna i närheten.

Visitors to Siem Reap should not miss this tour. The information provided by our guide, Aaron, about his personal experiences with the Killing Fields was riveting. Additionally, the Hero Rats tour was one of the highlights of our time in Siem Reap.
Missed the rats thing due to Cambodian New Year so went to Cambodia Landmine Museum instead. Also went to Killing Fields and Angkor National Museum.
Good tour,but did not get to see the rats museum due to being closed due to Cambodia New Year. Instead visited Cambodia Landmine Museum which was a bit out of town. Then visited the Angkor National Museum which was huge.
The Hero Rats, the Killing Fields and the Museum all provided a great in depth experience of understanding the fields that they were related to with excellent pre stations.
Recalling the horrors of the Khamer Rouge and the killing fields, there is hope for removing the millions of remaining land mines across Cambodia. This is a stop that you must not miss, even if the title is off-putting. Here, you see how these intelligent rats from Tanzania in Africa can be trained to identify land mines and save hundreds and hundreds of lives, essential to this day where the threat continues nationwide. The rat's trainers demonstrate the training and lifesaving work that these rats and their handlers do. You can support the mission by going and by donating to a US 501c3 if you are as moved as we were.
We had seen something about Hero Rats on TV and then learned from the hotel that they actually had a place where you could go see them and learn more. We did many amazing things on this trip and this definitely ranked among our favourite. We had no idea how amazing these rats are or that this breed can be trained to do more than find live landmines. We learned about how they are chosen, trained and cared for. We also got to see a demonstration of how they work the fields before getting to hold one. They are excessively cute. If you have a negative view of rats, these guys will change your perspective. Highly recommend visiting the HERO Rats. It's an incredible program worth supporting.
We are on a OAT post trip to Cambodia following 24 days in Vietnam Here they train Giant imported African Rats (known as “HeroRATS) to locate explosives (smell of TNT). They presented us with a demonstration of how a rat identifies the landmine. The rats are trained by mixing in the smell of TNT with the treats they like. Want to hold a 3 pound rat = you can!!!!! NOT for TOM!!!
Had a great time and enjoyed the wealth of knowledge my guide provided to make the experience truly memorable. The Apollo Rat center was a fascinating. Yes, can be done on own without a tour, but booking via this tour took all the headaches or thought out of the process. The Angkor Museum is a fantastic museum. Loads of artifacts and a good primer to understanding what you see when you go to Angkor Wat. Guide was a wealth of knowledge, and moved at a pace to match mine. Highly recommend.
After speaking someone at our hotel they said it was interesting and worth a visit if we had time. We took at Tuk Tuk and turned up, cost was $10 and lasted about 45 mins. Lots of boards displaying the work they undertake, a session of information then a demonstration with one of the rats. After you can hold them. The tour ends with a short film, we enjoyed our visit and learnt that is bits just Cambodia that use them.
The hero rats are amazing. I really enjoyed learning about their activities to save lives. Our guide to the Angkor museum was extremely friendly, knowledgeable and was willing to adapt to what we wanted to see.
