The tour starts with a hotel pickup around 11:50 AM in Battambang, boarding a tuk tuk for a city introduction. The guide shares information about the history, culture, religion, agriculture, and local folk tales, while showing key landmarks including the French colonial buildings, central market, provincial hall, and the Ta Dambong Kra Nhoung statue. Next, the tour travels through villages, fruit plantations, and rice fields, with stops to meet farmers and learn how vegetables are cultivated. Visitors then purchase tickets to ride the original bamboo train, a motorized platform on rails that provides a unique view of the countryside with a natural massage from the tracks. After the bamboo train ride, the group has a late lunch at a local village restaurant. In the afternoon, the tour proceeds to Phnom Sampou. Before ascending the mountain via motorbike or pickup truck, participants can try rat barbecue, a local snack. At the summit, the guide explains the history of the Killing Cave where over 10,000 victims died during the Khmer Rouge era. The visit also includes temples, monkey sightings, cannons, and panoramic viewpoints. The tour concludes by descending to the Bat Caves to watch millions of wrinkle-leaf bats emerge over about 50 minutes at sunset. Return transportation to the hotel or to Pomme Bar in town finishes the approximately seven-hour outing. The tour is conducted by tuk tuk and includes hotel pickup and drop-off, bottled water, a mountain shuttle for the return trip, motor taxi rides, donations, snack tasting, cold towels, optional rat barbecue tasting, all admission fees, photo stops, and a live guide. The bamboo train ride requires an additional fee. Personal expenses and lunch are not included.
