1Day 01
Siem Reap to Battambang and Wat Ek Phnom
This 3-day tour takes you to Battambang, Cambodia's second-largest city. But don't let that fool you - it is hardly a city and feels more like a laid-back provincial town, famous for its music and fruit production. On the first day, you'll leave Siem Reap and begin the 3- to 4-hour drive to Battambang. Upon arrival, you'll go directly to visit Wat Ek Phnom, an ancient Angkorian temple located on top of Ek Phnom Mountain. This 11th-century Hindu temple offers stunning views of the farms surrounding Battambang. In the evening, you'll visit the museum and take a stroll along the Sangke River, which runs through the town.
