Beschrijving
Explore Kampong Khleang with Isa, an expert guide born and raised in this floating village. Enjoy a unique, women-led tour that directly supports local families and empowers female leadership.
A Scenic Journey into Rural Cambodia
Escape the crowded tourist paths and experience the authentic rhythm of life on the Tonle Sap lake. Your journey begins with a convenient pickup from your Siem Reap hotel by a professional female guide/driver from our award-winning, women-led team. Relax in a clean, fully air-conditioned vehicle during a scenic 1-hour drive through Cambodia’s stunning rural countryside. Along the way, we will make a brief stop to support local roadside vendors and taste traditional Khmer "Kralan" (delicious bamboo sticky rice)—fully included in your experience.
An Intimate Village Walk with an Expert Local Guide
Upon arriving at Kampong Khleang—the largest and most breathtaking stilted community on the lake—there is no need to worry about extra fees. Your community entry tickets and private boat ride are entirely included in your tour price.
From here, your incredible host Isa—an expert female guide who was born, raised, and lives right in this very village—will lead you on an intimate, respectful walking tour. Because Isa knows every corner and neighbor, you will get an exclusive, non-intrusive look at daily life. Marvel at towering wooden homes built up to 10 meters high on bamboo stilts, and listen to Isa's personal stories about how families adapt to the dramatic seasonal rising and falling of the waters.
Cruise Through a Completely Floating World
Next, step onto your included private, traditional wooden boat, operated by a local community captain. As you cruise out into the open waters of the Tonle Sap, watch the landscape transform into a completely floating village. You will drift past moving boat-grocery stores, floating schools, and local fishermen utilizing generations-old techniques.
Support Local Families Directly
To wrap up your adventure, stop at a welcoming community home on the water. Here, you can relax, escape the midday heat, and enjoy a fresh, chilled young coconut along with a delicious platter of seasonal local fruits. This stop directly supports a village family. As your professional female guide/driver safely transports you back to your hotel doorstep, you will travel knowing that your journey directly funded fair-wage female leadership and left a proud, lasting financial impact on the local families of Kampong Khleang.
