What makes Tour in the afternoon to Bamboo train, bat cave, killing cave a unique experience ?
The afternoon’s trip will begin at 12:30p.m. I’ll pick you up at your hotel or restaurant. Following a briefing, I will take you on a tour of Battambang’s French colonial buildings, including the monument of Ta Dambong Kra Aung (the city’s symbol). Following that, we’ll proceed to our next objective (the original bamboo train).
Before we board the bamboo train, we’ll travel through these small, picturesque villages and countryside to see some fruit farms and local pagodas along the riverbank. The farmers have wonderful smiles, and young children are waving and saying HELLO!) to you, and I will stop in the village to explain how the locals live there. Then we go to visit a suspension bridge near the Kampong Pil Pagoda. You can take pictures on the bridge with stunning river views. Following that, we continue our trek to the Bamboo Train.
I will take you on the original bamboo train. This may be the last chance to ride the original bamboo train at Osrolao village, which is a long distance for riders, as the government plans to close it soon. The ride costs $5 per person and offers views of small villages and countryside.
This mountain is known as Phnom Sampov, or the (killing cave, bat cave). So this is where you can view the cave where they executed victims during the Pol Pot regime from the top and pushed them down into the cave. After visiting the cave, you can climb the mountain to witness a beautiful vista and a Buddhist pagoda.
Note: There are a lot of monkeys over there, but don’t be very close to them because some of them are very aggressive. To go up to the mountain, you have a few different options to choose from. It’s possible to climb up to the mountain by walking if you want, but the other option is to take a motorcycle or pick-up truck up to the mountain.
So, in this cave, you’ll observe a lot of bats fluttering around. Their cave resembles a lengthy dragon (there are millions of them). It takes 30 to 40 minutes to get all of them to fly out of the cave.
This is their final stop of the tour. After the bat cave, I’ll drive you back to your hotel.
