ItineraryThis is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Bamboo Train (Ending Point), 1301'12.2"N 10314'33., NR6, Cambodia
Take a ride on the traditional Bamboo Train, a bamboo platform laid over 2 sets of wheels on a single track. In the old days this was used to transport goods between Battambang and Phnom Penh and was a typical mode of transport for farmers and villagers. Today, it takes you through the beautiful countryside to a little village you can explore on foot before returning to your starting point.
Duration: 2 hours
Stop At: Wat Banan Temple, Banan Hill, Battambang 02000 Cambodia
Climb the 365 stairs to marvel at Wat Banan, an Angkor era temple which sits on top of a hill close to the Sanker river. Banan is seldom frequented by tourists and outside of Cambodian holidays it is likely that you may be the only visitor.
Duration: 2 hours
Stop At: Phnom Sampeau, 57 Off NH, Battambang 02000 Cambodia
Scale the side of a mountain leading to the 'secret bat cave' just before sunset where you will sit atop the mountain waiting for the millions of bats located inside the cave to awake. Marvel as this seemingly never-ending stream of fruit bats fly out of the cave and off into the countryside for their evening meal.
Duration: 3 hours
Stop At: Battambang Bat Caves, Phnom Sampeou off National Highway 57, Battambang 02000 Cambodia
The Bat Cave shows an amazing spectacle at around 5 pm each day - thousands of bats leave their cave as dusk falls, beginning their nocturnal hunting. A black streak stretched among the sky, vibrating with sound waves, before dispersing on the horizon illuminated by starlight. A steady stream flying out for around 45 minutes then back to their caves.
Duration: 2 hours
