Description

Explore Battambang on a guided tour. Ride the Bamboo Train, visit the Killing Caves, and watch the Bat Cave exodus at sunset with a picnic and live Khmer music.
Start your day in Battambang with a ride on the newly reinvented Bamboo Train, a unique Cambodian experience reimagined for cultural immersion. More than just a fun ride, this journey takes you through curated stops where you’ll meet local artisans, elders, and families who share real stories of Cambodia’s transformation — from French colonial rule to modern-day resilience.

In the heart of Battambang, take a guided walking tour through the charming French colonial quarter. Explore hidden alleys, heritage buildings, and interact with local artists and café owners working to revive the cultural soul of the city. Discover why Battambang is still one of Cambodia’s best-kept secrets and a rising hub of creativity.

Next, head to the powerful and serene Killing Caves of Phnom Sampeau, where a local guide with personal ties to the site shares the haunting history of the Khmer Rouge era. As the day ends, witness the unforgettable Bat Cave exodus at sunset, enhanced with a locally prepared picnic and a live Khmer music performance by a youth cultural project we proudly support.

This is a tour for travelers who want meaningful connections, not just sightseeing — combining history, culture, nature, and authentic Battambang experiences in one unforgettable day.
