Battambang is one of Cambodia’s most under rated destinations. Located 3 hours to the south of Siem Reap, this is a stunning countryside destination in an area known as the ‘rice bowl’ of the country. You will travel from Siem Reap to Battambang in a private air-conditioned car or van and then switch to a tuk tuk for your day tour.

Your day tour will begin with a village visit, driving a little off-road to see the fishing village, local plantations and including a ride on the Bamboo Train. From here your guide will take you on to Wat Banan temple, climbing all 365 stairs to reach the temple plateau, followed by a stop at the infamous Killing Caves.

Your last stop for the day is Phnom Sampeav, famed for its bat caves. Your guide will take you to his secret mountain spot where you will have a short climb to the top. As the sun sets, watch the millions of bats fly out for their evening meal before returning to Siem Reap.

What To Expect

1

Take a ride on the traditional Bamboo Train, a bamboo platform laid over 2 sets of wheels on a single track. In the old days this was used to transport goods between Battambang and Phnom Penh and was a typical mode of transport for farmers and villagers. Today, it takes you through the beautiful countryside to a little village you can explore on foot before returning to your starting point.

1 hour • Admission Included
2

Wat Banan Temple

Climb the 365 stairs to marvel at Wat Banan, an Angkor era temple which sits on top of a hill close to the Sanker river. Banan is seldom frequented by tourists and outside of Cambodian holidays it is likely that you may be the only visitor.

    Our guide, Kim, was excellent. He brought to life the history of his country, was very knowledgeable and was happy to stop at anything we thought was interesting. He made the tour extra special.

    David was our tour guide for a whole day tour through Battambang. We arrived from Siam Reap early in the morning and even three days later it is still a trip we like to think about. The day was completely packed with activities andDavid excused himself several times not having enough time to go into great details. Nevertheless I want to highlight that he covered everything and gave us all information in a nutshell. I will remember the story of how Battambang was founded forever and it was told this great that i am able to repeat it, even if you would wake me up in the middle of the night. Definitely a tour guide i can recommend from the bottom of my heart. Cheers David

    Excellent day. Long but constantly active. Kim was a great guide, funny, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Never rushed. Made a few little stops to try local fruit or take pictures. Would recommend.
