Overview

This 6-hour afternoon tour in Battambang starts with a hotel pickup at 1:00 pm. The tour begins with a drive around the city to see French colonial buildings and the statue of Lok Ta Dambong Kra Nhoung, a symbol of Battambang. Next, the route passes through Kampong Pil Pagoda and nearby countryside villages. The guide stops at a fruit farm and a local pagoda by the river, where visitors can observe farmers and children. There is a photo stop at a small Golden Gate Bridge near Kampong Pil Pagoda with views of the river. After this, the tour continues to the bamboo train area. Visitors may choose to pay separately to ride the original bamboo train, which passes through small villages and farmland. Following the bamboo train, the tour proceeds to Phnom Sampeau, a mountain site featuring the Killing Cave and Bat Cave. At the Killing Cave, visitors see a stupa containing real bones and skulls of victims from the Pol Pot regime. Guests can either climb on foot or take a motorbike or pickup truck to the top of the mountain, where a Buddhist pagoda and panoramic views are available. Monkeys are common on the mountain, but some can be aggressive. The final stop is the Battambang Bat Caves, where millions of bats emerge at dusk in a display lasting 30 to 40 minutes. After the bat caves, the tour returns to the hotel. The tour includes private transportation, a tuk tuk with driver and local guide, bottled water, and entrance fees for the Killing Cave and Bat Cave. Lunch and the bamboo train ticket are not included.
