Itinerary Details
8:00 AM – Pick up and depart to the local market, and start your day bright and early to experience the market at its most vibrant. Most stalls open, offering you a glimpse into the daily routine of local shoppers. Head into the bustling atmosphere, and discover the local daily life from this local market.
10:00 AM – Head back to the Hotel.
2:30 PM– Head toward Kampong Phluk Community.
3:15 PM– Take a private traditional long-tail boat and embark on a cruise onto the Tonle Sap Lake, the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia. It’s more than just a massive freshwater lake (the largest in the region!), it’s a pulsating ecosystem and a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve rich in biodiversity and is home to several floating villages that are deeply intertwined with Cambodian life.
Upon you reach the open lake; you pass the Kampong Phluk Community “a cluster of three villages of stilted houses built within the floodplain of the Great Lake Tonle Sap. The village comprises approximately 3000 inhabitants; you will get a firsthand experience of life on the water, observing stilted houses, schools, markets, police boxes, a church, a Buddhist monastery built on an artificial island, floating restaurants, etc. Interact with locals and learn about their fishing practices and adaptation to the changing water levels.
Stop at the Floating port, and Take a paddle boat rowing through the Flooded Mangrove Forest. As you paddle through the tranquil waters, you’ll be surrounded by the verdant mangrove trees, their intricate root systems forming a labyrinthine underwater world. The silence will be broken only by the gentle lapping of water and the calls of birds.
After paddling the boat through the mangrove forest your next journey is viewing the sunset. Viewing the sunset from a boat allows you to experience the lake from a different perspective. You can observe the floating villages bathed in the warm glow of the setting sun, creating a picturesque scene. Capturing the beauty of the sunset with your camera or simply etching it in your memory will ensure this experience stays with you long after your trip.
5:30 PM- Depart from Kampong Phluk, and return to Siem Reap.
