Embark on a full-day adventure from Siem Reap to the charming province of Battambang, known for its elegant French colonial architecture, tranquil temples, lush countryside, and sobering historical sites.
Start your journey early in the morning with a pickup from your hotel and travel west toward Battambang. Upon arrival, begin your sightseeing tour along the Steung Sangke River, taking in the city’s well-preserved colonial buildings and quiet charm. Continue to Odam Bang Village, where you’ll hop on the iconic bamboo train and glide through picturesque rice paddies—an unforgettable ride through Cambodia’s “rice bowl” region.
After a scenic picnic lunch, head to the peaceful village of Wat Kor, known for its traditional wooden houses and rural atmosphere. From there, visit the hilltop temples of Phnom Sampeau and Phnom Banan, perched atop dramatic limestone cliffs. These hills are home to a network of caves, some of which still bear haunting traces of Cambodia’s Khmer Rouge era, such as the chilling Killing Caves.
As you return to Siem Reap, travel back along the Steung Sangke River, passing by vibrant orchards and farms that line the fertile riverbanks. It’s the perfect ending to a day filled with culture, history, and unforgettable landscapes.
