6.Battambang Day Trip Bamboo Train, Bats Cave

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 6 reviews · 10 hours · from $159

Travel from Siem Reap to Battambang with an English-speaking guide such as Nak, Sorphea, or Soydhy. Visit Ek Phnom Temple, a rice paper factory, Psa Nat market, the Governor’s buildings, the bamboo train, and Phnom Sompov’s bat cave.

“This trip was enjoyable with a little bit of everything on offer, highlights being the bamboo train and watching the bats leave the bat cave was sensational. While the killing caves held a sense of sadness definitely worth the visit to gain some understanding and respect for what people had to experience. We were also lucky to have a great guide, Nak and driver Channa. Nak was fun, and we were able to learn a lot about the cambodian culture and country from him.”
