Highlights

Bamboo Train Battambang - Take a ride on the traditional Bamboo Train, a bamboo platform laid over 2 sets of wheels on a single track. In the old days this was used to transport goods between Battambang and Phnom Penh and was a typical mode of transport for farmers and villagers. Today, it takes you through the beautiful countryside to a little village you can explore on foot before returning to your starting point.
Wat Banan Temple - Climb the 365 stairs to marvel at Wat Banan, an Angkor era temple which sits on top of a hill close to the Sanker river. Banan is seldom frequented by tourists and outside of Cambodian holidays it is likely that you may be the only visitor.
Phnom Sampeau - Scale the side of a mountain leading to the ‘secret bat cave’ just before sunset where you will sit atop the mountain waiting for the millions of bats located inside the cave to awake. Marvel as this seemingly never-ending stream of fruit bats fly out of the cave and off into the countryside for their evening meal.

Great full day tour! - We were able to spend an awesome day with Mr. Han yesterday. He is outstandingly polite, caring and knowledgeable about the Cambodian culture and history. He did not only share general information but also his very own experience with the Cambodian history, which was incredibly touching and interesting. He went out of his way to make the day perfect for us. Thank you so much! We can highly recommend booking a tour with Mr. Han!
