Battambang is one of Cambodia’s most underrated destinations. Located three hours to the south of Siem Reap, this is a stunning countryside destination in an area known as the ‘rice bowl’ of the country. This day tour is a must-do to explore the surrounding countryside and sights!
Day Tour Itinerary
Your day tour will begin with a village visit, driving a little off-road to see the fishing village and local plantations.
After that, you will take a ride on the famous Bamboo Train!
From here your guide will take you on to Wat Banan temple, climbing all 365 stairs to reach the temple plateau for amazing views of the countryside.
You will then visit the infamous Killing Caves used during the horrific reign of the Khmer Rouge.
Your last stop for the day is Phnom Sampeav, famed for its incredible bat caves.
Your guide will take you to his secret mountain spot where you will have a short climb to the top. As the sun sets, watch the millions of bats fly out for their evening meal. It’s an unforgettable sight that you will remember forever.

Hi, I’m Nikki. I started this website in 2008 after my first solo backpacking trip to Asia. A trip that changed my life. My vision was to create a travel diary for everyone – a place for all travellers to share their experiences. After living in Southeast Asia for over 10 years, I saw the opportunity to provide backpackers with the kind of experiences that I’d treasured myself in the region.
Today, there is so much choice, but there are a lot of poor-quality tours and companies that offer mediocre experiences with little care for the environment. I wanted to create a selection of the best tried and tested activities to help backpackers avoid scams and unwanted experiences.
Today, I run this website with my partner, Dave, from Spain, where we live with our two young daughters, Eve and baby Rose. All of the bookable activities that you find on this website have been vetted by a member of our team and we have a friendly relationship with the operator. There are real humans behind South East Asia Backpacker and we are passionate about sustainable travel and tourism in Southeast Asia.
We’re committed to helping travellers at every stage of the journey and are happy to answer your questions pre, during and post travels. We understand that plans can change which is why we offer a full refund on the deposit up to 72 hours before the start of your trip, no questions asked. We offer advice on flights, visas, itineraries, hostels, backpacks, packing and more!
If you have any questions about our business or any of the tours that we provide, feel free to contact me on Whatsapp.
