What To Expect
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.
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.

Battambang full day from Siem Reap with various excursions.

5.00Great day trip from Siem Reap to Battambang. Excursion taken from GetYourGuide. Very comfortable private van journey ( Angkor focus travel ) with excellent driver (6 hours round trip ) through the company ( paddy fields ) , villages with special features, unique colors and flavors etc . Appreciate stops for sweet snacks and local lunch. Our super cute, knowledgeable guide Mr HANAOUN explained the terrible history of the Khmer Rouge and not just many local anecdotes. Fun experience on the bamboo train with hand shift to make the real train pass. Absolutely recommended.

5.00We were only in Cambodia for 2 days so we wanted to see as much as possible. Mr Han showed us a lot in the area of Battambang and we were able to try local food and fruit. The temples were beautiful, and aside from the highlighted landmarks we made a few more small stops along the way. If you want to get the most out of your day in Battambang you should do this tour!
Don't leave cambodia without doing this tour!

5.00What an incredible tour, everything was very organised and laid back. A full day tour might seem daunting but it is very much worth it. Ask to have Mr Han, he is incredibly knowledgeable and very passionate about the history and cambodian culture. He shares his own personal stories from the communist pol pot period and offers insight as to what it was like to live during that dark period in Cambodian history. The tour takes you across the cambodian countryside, up mountains and temples. it truly was an amazing experience and well worth setting aside a day to do. Being a private tour you learn alot more about many aspects of cambodian culture and history that wouldn't learn in a big group. I cannot recommend this tour enough.
Memorable
