Day 5 – 7 am Pick up at the Hotel by Car
Today, we’ll enjoy a beautiful drive through the countryside to Kampong Kleang or Kampong Pluk Floating Village on Tonle Sap for the morning. Tonle Sap Lake is the largest freshwater lake in South East Asia. It feeds the river Tonle Sap which is one of the most important rivers in Cambodia. During the wet season, the lake grows to 6 times its size, and the Tonle Sap river which usually flows into the sea, reverses direction during the wet season. When it does, the houses on the edge of it would flood, so they have built them out of bamboo, to float. We’ll visit the floating village where you can see the stilt houses which are up to 6 meters high. In the dry season, the village looks like a regular village, just floating high in the air. We’ll take a private boat out to see the locals, going about their daily lives, going to school, shopping from boat to boat on the water, and fishing and watch the sunset.
We will have lunch at a local restaurant.
After lunch, we will explore the Rolous Group including Lolei Temple , Preah Ko and Bakong Temple.
