The planet offers us so many incredible things to admire, not least through our travels. But if we want to enjoy them for a long time to come, we must protect it at all costs. That is why we make extra efforts to reduce the impact of our trips, and you too can contribute reliably to a Greentripper climate project via the booking form, which offsets the CO2 emissions of your means of transport.
By contributing to their certified "Wildlife Cambodia" project, you help protect beautiful forests and the wildlife they harbour, you support local communities and you reduce the CO2 emissions of your trip. If you decide to take part in the project, Travelbase takes on the additional responsibility of reducing your carbon footprint during the trip itself. On your return, you will also receive an official carbon credit certificate.
To learn more about the efforts and actions put in place by Travelbase, see this page.
When you arrive at base camp, your rangers will give you a warm welcome. They’ll brief you on everything you need to know for the week and hand out your rental equipment.
Just before you set off, you’ll also get access to a chat with everyone leaving on the same date. You can use it to keep in touch with each other and our team. The chat is only available in the Travelbase app, so make sure you download it.

For the foodpack meal option, we can propose vegetarian, vegan, lactose-free, and gluten-free meals. Please contact us by email so we can log your dietary requirements.

High-top hiking boots are mandatory. Low-cut walking shoes, running shoes, trainers, or other low-cut footwear are not permitted. The terrain is often uneven and challenging, so high-top hiking boots are required to provide adequate ankle support and reduce the risk of injury.
