Kampot: Salt Fields, Cave and Pepper Farm in Siem Reap

A 1-hour experience in Siem Reap. The operator sums it up as experience the charm of kampot's countryside and traditional khmer villages. The price covers English speaking driver, Pickup & drop off and Round trip by traditional Tuktuk. It does not cover personal expenses, meals & beverages and tips for driver, 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. The countryside immediately around Siem Reap is rice paddy, sugar-palm trees and villages that are five minutes off the temple road and rarely seen by people doing the circuits. The sugar palm is the national tree and its sap is tapped from the crown by men who climb a notched pole twice a day, boiled down to the palm sugar used in every Khmer kitchen. The rice year sets everything: transplanting in the wet months, the fields green through the rains, harvest around November and December, then dry stubble and dust. Late afternoon is when the light works and when the villages are out, so most of these rides run to sunset. The price steps with party size rather than multiplying: 1 traveller is $60, 5 is $85 and 8 is $136. You are quoted the total for your party, not a per-head rate. Cambo Tours Services runs it. We book with them directly, so the guide who meets you works for the operator rather than for a reseller.
