Description
Our expert guide will pick you up from your hotel at 8 AM. First, we'll visit the Killing Fields of Choeung Ek in the Southern part of Phnom Penh. At Choeung Ek, lies the most painful past of Cambodia. It is estimated that the site is a grave for around 20,000 victims of the Khmer Rouge. Killing Fields of Choeung Ek is a commemorative stupa where you'll see the skulls of victims of this tragedy.
Following Killing Fields, next, we'll head to Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum previously known as S21 or Security Prison 21. This place was a detention center for thousands of prisoners. Even before a detention center, this place was a high school. About 17,000 prisoners went through torture & later killed within these walls. It is believed that only 12 prisoners were lucky enough to survive during the Khmer Rouge. Your guide will give more detailed info on the tour and finally drop you off at the hotel around 12 PM.
