Itinerary

1. The afternoon tour will begin at your chosen tour option.. I'll pick you up at your hotel or restaurant. First, we'll have a briefing. Then, I will take you on a tour of Battambang's French colonial buildings. This includes the monument of Ta Dambong Kra Aung statue, which is the city's symbol. Afterward, we'll continue to our next goal (the original bamboo train).

   30 min

2. Before we board the bamboo train, we'll visit small, picturesque villages. We'll travel through the 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. After that, we continue our trek to the Bamboo Train.

   1.5 h

3. I will take you on the original bamboo train. This is the last chance to ride the original bamboo train at Osrolao village. This village is a long distance for riders about 7 k.m. The government plans to close it soon. The ride per hour can see scenic views of small villages and countryside. Then, for a late lunch, head to a village restaurant.

   1.5 h

4. This mountain is known as Phnom Sampov, or the (killing cave, bat cave). This is where you can view the cave from the top. They executed victims during the Pol Pot regime 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. 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. You can climb up to the mountain by walking. If you prefer, you can take a motorcycle or pick-up truck up to the mountain.

   2 hAdmission included

5. So, in this cave, you'll notice 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.

• 5Our best tour in Cambodia!

  Mr Lychee gave such an amazing tour, he gave us a perfect mixture of the history of Battambang alongside taking us to communities that have not been touched by tourism to meet local people and understand their customs (and try some local foods!). The bat caves, killing caves and bamboo train are unmissable and important to experience. I would recommend Mr Lychee's tour to anyone visiting Battambang, probably our best tour in Cambodia!

• 5Excellent tour, thanks to our driver.

  We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Our guide, "Wa Na" (not sure of the spelling), was waiting for us as soon as we arrived in Battambang and greeted us with a smile in his very clean, luxurious tuk-tuk. He suggested a perfect little restaurant for lunch before the tour began. Throughout the tour, he provided us with interesting information, and there were always bottles of cold water available for us. We had a wonderful day in Battambang thanks to him, and we highly recommend him to everyone. He was very professional, very friendly, and an excellent driver.

• 5Interesting trip!

  Excellent trip to the bat caves less, monastery Suspension bridge and to see the sights and learn the history of battenbang! My Lychee was on time, friendly and informative. It’s a long trip but worth it. Bat caves were a little underwhelming but overall a lovely day out!

• 5Amazing!!!

  If you need a tour guide in Battambang Lychee and Lucky are the man to book with! They have so much knowledge and passion about the area. Felt like spending time with a local friend rather than a tour guide. Couldn't recommend it enough. Incredible value for money, everything we did we thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you Lychee and Lucky.

About Battambang

Battambang is a quiet riverside city in north-west Cambodia, with French colonial streets, hill temples, a circus school and a wide rice plain.

Battambang lies on the Sangkae River in the middle of Cambodia's main rice-growing plain, and its French colonial shophouses, many of them faded and weathered, still line the streets near the water. The covered market anchors the old town, and a short walk leads to art galleries and cafés. Phare Ponleu Selpak, an arts school, stages circus shows that tell Cambodian stories.
