Around 30 monks, lecturers and students are planning to march 265km, crossing the Cardamom Mountains in the Kingdom’s southwest, to inspire love for nature and promote environment conservation.
The pilgrimage – to be led by the venerable Yorn Seng Yeat, vice-chancellor of Preah Sihanouk Raja Buddhist University – will be completed on foot and is expected to take 19 days. The group will depart Kampong Speu province on June 7 in a march intended to spark discussion about conservation.
