Sightseeing tour of Battambang Being among children, traveling to the countryside, living with family farmers, learning about rural life, and listening to the sounds of nature at homestay.
01: First, we start from where we made an appointment at 8:30 a.m. and go to see the original bamboo train at Osrolao Village. We will be here for about an hour if you ride the bamboo train. We will visit a Muslim village where Cham people are feeding fish in the Stueng Sangke River and learn about their history and where they came from.

After visiting Cham village, we go see a Buddhist temple, or pagoda. You can go take some photos from the suspension bridge before continuing to explore handicrafts, where Khmer people make their products by hand.

02: We are going to visit the villages and see how they produce local products, such as bamboo sticky rice.

Also, we can get a chance to learn more about the Khmer Rouge when we visit the Well of Shadows (in Wat Samrong Knong), a monument to honor the people killed during the war.

03: We drive to see the fish market and learn what's Cambodian cuisine. Such as: Bamboo sticky rice, Fish paste market, Rice paper, Rice win, Banana slices.

We will visit if you are interested in ancient temples that are older than Angkor Wat. That temple is called Wat Ek Phnom. Then we can have lunch in the village if time allows.

04: Phnom Sampov is best visited in the evening when the sun is setting, providing the most spectacular view of the mountain and a beautiful landscape. While the sun is setting in the secret bat cave, you can see them fly out from behind you and past you as you enjoy the sunset. We will finish this trip in the evening and take you back to your homestay.
