Activity itinerary

Siem Reap (Pass by)

Start your day with an early pickup at 7AM from your Siem Reap hotel for a 2.5–3 hour drive to the tranquil city of Battambang. Along the way, pass through Cambodia’s picturesque countryside, where you’ll see rice paddies, sugar palms, buffalo carts, and glimpses of local village life.

Wat Ek Phnom

Arrive at Ek Phnom, a partially ruined 11th-century Angkorian temple, offering a quiet and mysterious setting. Behind the ancient ruins, you’ll find a modern Buddhist pagoda and a giant seated Buddha statue, symbolising Cambodia’s spiritual continuity across centuries.

Battambang

  • 3h
Experience the best of Battambang in a single day, starting with a visit to a family-run rice paper workshop where you can watch the traditional crafting process and taste freshly made Khmer spring rolls, both soft and crispy. Continue to Battambang’s vibrant Central Market, set inside a French colonial building, and wander through stalls filled with tropical fruits, herbs, textiles, and everyday essentials that showcase local life. Explore the former Governor’s House, a beautifully preserved 1905 colonial mansion offering insight into Cambodia’s past and French architectural influence. Finish the journey with an exciting ride on the legendary Bamboo Train, gliding through rice fields and rural landscapes on a motorised bamboo platform for a truly unique Cambodian experience.

At dusk, gather at the base of the mountain for a spectacular natural phenomenon, watch in awe as millions of bats pour from the cave in a swirling black ribbon that stretches across the sky. It’s an unforgettable and mesmerising sight to end your day.
