Local Enlightenment at Lotus
Phnom Penh

The Lotus Silk Farm celebrates Cambodian culture and sustainability by transforming native lotus flowers into paper, yarn, textiles, tea and wellness products. Visitors can enjoy a hands-on experience, learning to craft their own lotus-based products.

In addition to sharing its knowledge, the social enterprise offers guided tours of its farms and workshops, boat rides, and relaxing tea lounges for guests. Preservation of local communities and culture is the priority here, creating a haven of respect for both people and the planet.
