Battambang Day Trip with Bamboo Train Ride in Siem Reap

A full-day experience in Siem Reap. The operator sums it up as feel the thrill of riding the famous battambang bamboo train. The price covers Hotel pickup and drop-off, Professional tour guide and Cold towel. It does not cover temple pass, bamboo train ticket and meal (b/l/d), 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. This one is priced for the group rather than per head: 1 traveller costs $558 and 4 costs $558, so the more of you there are the less each of you pays. Angkor Wat Driver Private Tour runs it. We book with them directly, so the guide who meets you works for the operator rather than for a reseller.
