Today, we embark on an exciting journey through the scenic Cambodian countryside. After meeting the locals, we'll cycle along dirt roads, heading towards the boat station. Our route takes us through lush wetlands and along the Tonle Sap River, leading us to remote villages where life unfolds gently.
Board the boat for a serene cruise across Tonle Sap, Cambodia's largest freshwater lake. After about a 4-hour boat ride, we'll disembark, pick up our bikes, and continue our journey to explore the daily lives of the local communities living along the riverbanks and small tributaries. The afternoon ride covers approximately 25 km, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the local culture and experience the rhythms of rural life.
In the evening, we'll arrive in Battambang, a charming town known for its colonial-style streets and vibrant markets. These are perfect for leisurely shopping and discovering hidden gems. For dinner, we'll visit Jann Bai, a renowned social enterprise restaurant often hailed as the best dining experience in Cambodia. This is an excellent way to conclude a day full of adventure and cultural immersion.
