Description

Day-by-Day Itinerary Highlights

  • Scenic Drive & Colonial Heritage: Depart your Siem Reap hotel for Battambang, affectionately known as the “Rice Bowl” of Cambodia. Admire the stunning French colonial shophouse facades in the city center and explore historic local landmarks like the 1930s Psar Nat Market and the striking White Elephant Pagoda (Wat Tahm-rai-saw).
  • The Famous Bamboo Train (Norry): Experience a thrilling open-air ride on a makeshift bamboo platform powered by a small motor, gliding smoothly through emerald rice paddies and scenic farmland.
  • Banan Temple & Countryside: Drive through lush orchards and local orange plantations before climbing to the 11th-century hilltop temple of Wat Banan, which rewards visitors with breathtaking 360-degree views of the surrounding province.
  • Phnom Sampov Bat Cave: Conclude your adventure at the base of Phnom Sampov mountain to witness one of Cambodia’s most magical natural phenomena—millions of Asian wrinkle-lipped bats streaming across the twilight sky in a continuous, ribbon-like flight at dusk, before your comfortable private transfer back to Siem Reap.

Group: $300.00 ( Max. 06 pax )

Private Siem Reap City Tour

,

This tour is perfect for those with a little more time on their hands and those interested in the recent Cambodian history. The War Museum houses a wide array of weapons and military vehicles collected from Cambodian battlefields and will shed a light on the recent years of turmoil and explain what shaped the country you see today. Wat Thmei, the Memorial of Victims of the Khmer Rouge Regime, is another sobering reminder of the recent, turbulent past of Cambodia. To lighten up the mood a little we suggest a visit to the Artisans d'Angkor workshop where skilled artists produce gorgeous pieces of lacquer, stone carvings and silver plating and seeing them at work shows the positive direction of the path Cambodia finds itself on today. If you don't find your souvenirs and gifts here then perhaps the Old Market will have what you are looking for. Browse and use your bartering skills to bring home your memories of Siem Reap.
