This endangered wild monkey is wildly known as one of the most striking primates on earth, featuring distinctive black hind limbs, a contrasting grey body and extraordinary bluish face.

According to WWF, Mondolkiri currently holds the largest population of Black-shanked Doucs in the world! In Keo Seima Wildlife Sanctuary alone, an estimated 42,000 individuals thrive, alongside additional populations in Phnom Prich Wildlife Sanctuary and Mondulkiri Protected Forest within the magnificent Eastern Plains Landscape.

Interestingly, another endangered species, the Red-shanked Douc has recently been confirmed in Cambodia’s Ratanakiri province, with its full distribution still being explored. All douc species are endemic to Indochina, adding immense value to our region's rich biodiversity! 🐒🍃🇰🇭

✨ 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗙𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸-𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝗗𝗼𝘂𝗰:
🎨 Striking Appearance: Features a distinctive bluish-gray face with bright yellow eye rings, jet-black limbs, and a long white tail.
🌳 Canopy Specialist: Lives high in the lush tree canopies, using its long tail for perfect balance while leaping through branches.
🍃 Specialized Diet: Eats mostly young leaves, seeds, and fruits with a unique stomach built for digesting tough foliage.
🐒 Social Nature: Travels together in close-knit groups, from small family units to larger social troops.

Wildlife spotting in Mondulkiri is an unforgettable family activity for nature lovers and curious young explorers like your kids! Why not plan an exciting trip to spot the majestic Black-shanked Douc in Mondulkiri for your upcoming vacation?

It is wonderful to experience the warmest Cambodian hospitality thousands of miles away from their homeland. It is an honor to have participated in the Pchum Ben celebration at Wat Trairatanaram in Georgia. 🙏

Pchum Ben: The Festival of the Ancestors (Part 2) 🌾✨
The morning is bustling at the monastery! Families arrive from near and far, carrying containers of home-cooked rice, vegetable dishes, and fish. By feeding the monks, they believe they are sending blessings directly to the spirits of their ancestors. Worshippers carry lotus flowers and incense to offer to the Buddha. Those who don't bring cooked food arrive with entire cartons of water, soft drinks, or beautifully wrapped gift packages containing robes, biscuits, and canned goods for the monastery. Community members cook all through the night to prepare baba—a warm, thin rice porridge with chicken. Anyone who is hungry grabs a bowl to enjoy after the morning ceremonies. Families carefully lay the tables beneath decorated dining tents. Offering food to the monks is a fundamental way to accumulate Buddhist merit. The monks finish their lunch strictly before noon.
Once the monks leave, the pots come out for everyone else! Local children gather with bags, and a community lunch begins.
The menu is packed with traditional Khmer flavors:
• Somlor machu prolit: A sour fish soup with lotus stems.
• Nhoam Svay Trey Ang: A fresh green mango salad with grilled spiced fish.
• Prahok: A classic fermented fish paste served with fresh cucumber and eggplant.
• No Pchum Ben lunch is complete without num ansam chrouk (a sticky-rice roll filled with pork fat and bean paste) or num ansam cheik (the sweet, banana-filled version). Wrapping these tightly in a single banana leaf takes serious skill, so many people buy them from busy market vendors.
