Program details
After being picked up from your hotel in a jeep, head south of Siem Reap through the picturesque Cambodian countryside. Make a stop at a local family house surrounded by rice paddies. Here, sip on a cold coconut or local juice, meet the family, and spend time with them, learning about their farming life.
Visit a local mushroom farm and factory to learn about how mushrooms are grown using technical methods as well as a rice wine distillery where you also get to try local rice wine in Cambodia!
Continue with a drive to a nearby river and shuttle by boat through the floating villages, where friendly locals will greet you with more smiles and enthusiastic waves. Here, you’ll get a fascinating insight into the ways the local people live in this region.
Tonle Sap lake is the largest lake in Southeast Asia, and your local guide will describe it in more detail and tell you about the phenomenon that creates a depth variance of up to eight meters. They will also tell you why this lake is vital to Cambodia’s survival. You’ll appreciate this new perspective of Cambodia and its environment as you cruise along the river.
To complete the evening, take a boat ride on the waterway with local delicacies, including soft drinks and other cold beverages, all while enjoying a spectacular view of Tonle Sap at twilight.
