From Phnom Penh: Battambang and Siem Reap 2-Day Tour

Explore Battambang and Siem Reap on a 2-day tour from Phnom Penh. Ride the Bamboo Train, witness a bat cave spectacle, and enjoy a home-cooked meal with a local family.
Day 1: Phnom Penh to Battambang

Begin your adventure with a scenic drive through the countryside to Battambang. Stop along the way to witness the process of making low-fired pottery, where locals blend ancient techniques with modern methods to create traditional wares.

Upon arrival in Battambang, check into your hotel and relax. In the late afternoon, enjoy a fun journey on the Bamboo Train through the beautiful landscape of rice fields and rural villages. Experience a bumpy ride on the train, known as the "Lorry," and enjoy the countryside views.

Next, take a short transfer to Phnom Sampeou, a natural site known as "Ship Mountain." Walk up the 100-meter-high mountain for a panoramic view, if you wish. Get ready for a fabulous show of nature as millions of bats exit the caves and fly like flocks of birds to feed on insects in the surrounding countryside.

Enjoy the sunset view from the foothill with a soft drink. In the evening, join a home-cooked meal, tasting local dishes such as amok, Khmer curry, and fried spicy chicken. This is not only a chance to savor delicious food but also a delightful opportunity to get a "taste" of Cambodian family life.

Overnight at hotel in Battambang.

Day 2: Battambang to Siem Reap

Begin your day with an easy walking tour to discover Battambang’s creative spirit on a guided walk through its colorful street art scene. Hidden alleyways and riverside walls showcase murals inspired by Khmer culture, rural life, and contemporary social themes. Learn about the city’s artistic movement and gain insight into how modern Cambodian artists express identity and change through public art.

Next, take a tuk-tuk ride through the countryside, where you can witness villagers producing traditional products and taste local snacks. Visit the Well of Shadows at Wat Somrong Knong, a site of historical significance.

Return to your hotel for a short rest before checking out. Enjoy an early lunch at Jaan Bai, a social enterprise providing skills and employment for young people from families living in poverty.

Finally, travel to Siem Reap and check into your hotel (not included).
