Authentic Siem Reap: Tuk Tuk Countryside and Sunset Tour

With this thorough itinerary, you can get away from the bustling city of Siem Reap and explore the serene beauty of the Cambodian countryside. This tour provides you with an individualized local experience, taking you off the beaten track, accompanied by a local female guide and an experienced female driver. You will have the opportunity to engage with friendly locals, see stunning scenery, and get an insight into local life. This rural journey promises to be an amazing experience that will give you a deeper understanding of Cambodian culture, beautiful scenery, and enduring memories. Your knowledgeable English-speaking guide will provide insights into Cambodian customs, culture, and rural life during the journey. Traveling in comfort is ensured while using Tuk Tuk transportation. The cost of all activities and admission fees is covered.

After pick up from your hotel, take a leisurely afternoon Tuk Tuk ride with our female guide to discover the rural areas outside of Siem Reap. The tour begins with an exploration of a local market, where you can truly learn about the functions and the importance of a market for everyday life in the area, as well as its origins and methods of cultivation of local produce. Of particular interest is how the supermarket has impacted local customs and culture regarding eating a healthy diet.

Visit a local basket store to see how wood, rotting wine, and bamboo are utilized extensively for everyday tools, religious objects, décor, and cooking supplies. Interestingly, depending on where they are created locally, there is a wide range of them to choose from. The visit to the local basket shop will also provide you with background information on the little spiritual houses, which are visible at the front of every local residence.

After the visit to the local basket store, continue to the rice wine distillation in the countryside. Visit the local rice farm, where rice is grown and fermented into rice wine. During the visit, you will learn about the circular use of resources: the household is using the farm rice for the rice wine production, and the leftover rice after fermentation is use to feed the pigs. With that, this stop gives you an in-depth understanding of Cambodian culture and customs while telling you stories about raising cows and buffalos for the farm. You will also be able to try some local snacks and, of course, the freshly distilled local rice wine.

Moving on, a must-visit location for today’s tour is the Lotus Farm. Learn more about the fascinating ability of the lotus plant to become the most environmentally friendly textile—and about the remarkable flower that symbolizes Buddhist teaching and belief in Cambodia. Your visit here supports a social enterprise that provides good work for local women and promotes environmentally conscious energy consumption. After the visit, enjoy tasty local cake and freshly brewed lotus tea in the tea lounge on the top floor, and enjoy the 360-degree view of the surrounding scenery while you reflect on the spiritual knowledge.

The half-day excursion will end with a relaxed and calm sunset on a traditional mat near the rice fields. While enjoying the sunset, experience the fresh and healthy cuisine in the countryside, and taste some delicious lotus dishes from a local restaurant nearby.

After this inspiring half-day excursion, we will drop you at your accommodation in Siem Reap. On the way back, enjoy additional views and impressions of the countryside.
