Full description

A 1-day trip from Siem Reap that visits Depends on the selected option, Battambang ProvinceCar, Bamboo Train Battambang and Krong Siem Reap. The price covers Hotel pickup in Siem Reap, Scenic drive to Battambang and Bamboo Train ride. It does not cover personal expenses and tips, 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. Priced per person at about $129 each, so a party of 8 comes to $1,030. The price you see on this page is the total for the party size you pick, not a per-head figure to multiply. Happy Angkor Tour Cambodia runs it. We book with them directly, so the guide who meets you works for the operator rather than for a reseller.
