Description
Discover Kampot and Kep on a private day trip from Phnom Penh. Visit a pepper plantation, explore the salt fields, and see the 7th-century Hindu temple of Phnom Chhngok.
Begin your full-day private tour with a pickup from your hotel in Phnom Penh. Head to Kampot and make your first stop at the 7th-century Hindu temple of Phnom Chhngok. This small temple dedicated to Shiva is located inside a cave in the mountain.
Continue to La Plantation Pepper Farm for a look at how pepper is grown and processed. Enjoy lunch at the farm's restaurant before heading to Kep to see its lovely beach and fantastic Crab Market.
Next, visit the salt fields (in the dry season) to see how shallow ponds are filled with seawater, which slowly evaporates in the sun. Then, the salt is raked into piles, collected, washed, and packaged for sale.
Onwards to Kampot City with a stop at the famous Seahorse Statue. Located right on the river promenade, this statue is a popular photo spot. Completed in August 2024 is a 35-meter-tall clock built on an island in the river. It is placed so it becomes a backdrop to the Seahorse Statue. From there, move into the old heart of the city with its colonial buildings and old market.
Finally, your driver will return you to your hotel in Phnom Penh.
