Private Tour to Anlong Veng (Khmer Rouge Stronghold)

An interesting touring addition for those who have a little more time in Siem Reap and are keen to learn about the recent turbulent history of Cambodia. Anlong Veng lies 125km north of Siem Reap in the area of Dangrek Mountains which mark the border between Cambodia and Thailand. It appears on the touring map for two main reasons: it was the last stronghold of the Khmer Rouge and is the resting place of Pol Pot. Not much remains of Pol Pot’s bunker but a shell of a house overgrown with foliage and “decorated” with profane graffiti. The province still has plenty of mine fields but these are away from the town centre and experts are working continuously on their clearance. Your guide will be able to shed more light on the last few decades and perhaps share the story of his/her family in those difficult times.

Private Excursion to Battambang

,

Battambang is Cambodia's second largest city and the centre of a fertile agricultural area labelled fairly the “Rice Bowl' of Cambodia. It is possible to spend couple of nights in Battambang and see the variety of attractions but for your day visit we have selected the top highlights. Driving through the city you will see the French colonial era footprint in the facade of the town houses, many of which are receiving a well deserved face lift. The famous Bamboo Train is surviving despite the overhanging threat of closure. It is a fun way of experiencing the lush green countryside outside Battambang. When two trains meet, the one with a lighter load must dismantle and make way to the other. You will have lunch locally and rest during the hottest part of the day. Along the way you will stop at an orange plantation before reaching the impressive Banan Temple on the top of a hill with stunning views of the surrounding countryside.
