The Real Cambodia Tour

Highlights - Daily life - local market - Rural scenes and farming - Hidden ruined temple - Bakong Temple - Lunch - drink & snack

One of our favorites, this unique tour unravels the real Cambodia off the beaten path. You will ride through villages and see daily local life, markets, nature full of colour as you ride beside rice fields, cows and if you’re lucky some amazing water buffalos.

You will weave through country roads, see traditional Cambodian wooden houses and explore a hidden ruined temple amongst a bamboo forest before reaching the incredible Bakong temple, which predates Angkor Wat by about 300 years and receives much fewer visitors.

A delicious Cambodian lunch is included as well as redreshments as required throughout the tour. A Tuk Tuk support vehicle will trasfer you to the the start point on the outskirts of town and be ready to take you back to your hotel at the end of the tour.

A special tour for those wishing to experience the real Cambodia.
