Begin your countryside jeep tour by getting picked up from your accommodation. Then your Siem Reap tour guide will provide a short introduction of the tour highlights for the day.

Get a quick tour to explore the Buddhist temple in the village to understand the everyday Cambodian religious practices, get spiritual blessings from a monk and even listen to Khmer fortune-telling.

Go through the tranquil village, past rice paddies, gardens and ponds and watch as the local farmers cultivate, care for and harvest their produce. The next drive, through towns and dirt roads, makes for many photo-perfect opportunities.

Visit the makers of bamboo rice cakes. Find out more about the processes involved in the making of this special countryside delicacy, and of course, you’re welcome to try.

Continue to visit a local family who made the basket, as you will spend the next portion of the tour learning to create artifacts with your hands.

Appreciate a Cambodian style lunch with a broad spread of local dishes. 

Enjoy a quick siesta that will be in order before heading back to the city.
