Explore Kompong Kleang and Cruise the Great Lake
8.00 am: Pick up by your tour guide from your hotel and set out with a brief introduction to the biggest freshwater lake in Asia. The lake is twice the size of Singapore and yields 20 tonnes of fish every day.
Stop midway to visit a village known for making bamboo cake, one of the most famous villages in Siem Reap, where people prepare the cake inside bamboo tubes.
Continue to a small, friendly local market, where you will have the chance to observe daily life and take photographs.
Travel southeast of Siem Reap along a small road, enjoying more glimpses of local life and nature along the way.
Mingle with the community of Kompong Kleang.
Walk through the village and learn about the daily life of the people in the community. Explore their schools, Buddhist monasteries, and local legends.
Board the big private boat that will take you through a channel built thousands of years ago. This waterway was once used by local people to transport their goods to Angkor City. Along the way, witness stilt houses rising up to 12 meters high on both sides of the channel and capture beautiful photographs.
Sail onward to see the Great Lake and the people who live in permanently floating houses.
