Battambang: Bamboo Train and Bat Cave from Siem Reap
Full description
A full-day trip from Siem Reap that visits Krong Siem Reap, Ek Phnom Temple, Local restaurant and Bamboo Train Battambang. There are 5 stops altogether, so it fills the day rather than leaving long gaps between two or three highlights. The price covers Professional Englishspeaking tour guide, Transportation by air-conditioned vehicle and Sightseeing as specified in the description. It does not cover all extras tickets and temples entrance, breakfast, lunch, and drinks and other personal expenses, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price. Battambang is Cambodia's second city and the calmest of them, a riverside town of French shophouses about three hours from Siem Reap. The bamboo train, the norry, is a bamboo platform on wheels driven by a small motor down a single track; when two meet, the lighter one is lifted off the rails by hand. The original line at O Dambong was replaced by a purpose-built tourist track at Banan. At dusk, millions of wrinkle-lipped bats stream out of a cliff cave at Phnom Sampeau for about half an hour in an unbroken ribbon, and the same hill carries a killing-cave memorial from the Khmer Rouge years. The price steps with party size rather than multiplying: 1 traveller is $338, 5 is $488 and 8 is $624. You are quoted the total for your party, not a per-head rate. Angkor Buddy runs it. We book with them directly, so the guide who meets you works for the operator rather than for a reseller.
