Uncover the authentic charm, deep history, and rural craftsmanship of Battambang on an action-packed full-day tour.
Your journey begins with a dive into local culinary heritage. Discover how traditional bamboo sticky rice is slow-cooked over open flames, see how sweet sun-dried bananas are made, and step into a family-run workshop to try your hand at crafting delicate rice paper. Visit the bustling Psar Nat Market—a fine example of 1930s French modernist architecture—and stop by a traditional fish market to learn how Prahok, Cambodia’s famous fermented fish paste, is produced.
After visiting the serene Wat Samrong Pagoda and enjoying an authentic Khmer lunch (with an optional rice wine tasting for the adventurous!), get ready for iconic local transport on the famous Bamboo Train (Norry). As late afternoon approaches, ascend Phnom Sampeau to pay respects at the historic Killing Cave memorial before gathering at dusk to watch millions of bats pour out of the Bat Cave against a golden sunset backdrop.
