Following a brief introduction, the operator will guide you through the city to admire the French colonial architecture, the statue of Lok Ta Dambong Kra Nhoung (the symbol of Battambang), and then proceed to the next destination, the bamboo train.
- Kampong Pil Pagoda - En route to the bamboo train, the tour will pass through charming villages and countryside, offering visits to fruit farms and a local pagoda along the river. Enjoy the warm smiles of farmers and the cheerful greetings of children. The operator will pause in the village to explain the local lifestyle before continuing to the nearby small Golden Gate Bridge at Kampong Pil Pagoda, where you can capture stunning river views. The journey then continues to the bamboo train.
- Bamboo Train Battambang - Experience a ride on the original bamboo train, a unique opportunity as the government plans to close it soon. The ride costs $5 per person and offers views of small villages and the countryside.
- Phnom Sampeau - Known for its historical significance, Phnom Sampeau features the “killing cave” and “bat cave.” Here, you can learn about the tragic history during the Pol Pot regime, where victims were pushed into the cave. The site includes a stupa with real skulls and bones. After exploring the cave, you can ascend the mountain for breathtaking views and a Buddhist pagoda. Note: There are many monkeys, so maintain a safe distance as some may be aggressive. You can choose to walk, or take a motorbike or pickup truck to reach the top.
- Battambang Bat Caves - Witness the spectacular sight of millions of bats emerging from their cave, resembling a long dragon. This natural phenomenon lasts 30 to 40 minutes. After this final stop, the operator will return you to your hotel.

Excellent and varied trip - highly recommend. - Great trip with Bun (whose English is really good). He gave us a varied trip of culture, countryside and fun. We visited parts of Battambang we wouldn’t have otherwise seen. The bamboo train is def a fun thing to do (and may be closed soon apparently) plus the killing caves (harrowing but important to learn about) and witnessing 5million bats flying from their roosting cave are simply a must do.

Do not miss this one afternoon tour - Fantastic afternoon. The bamboo railway was exhilarating, The Killing Caves were educational and so peaceful when you consider their past. And the Bat Cave was phenomenal.

Friendly host and plenty covered - Bun was an excellent host, prompt pick up and interesting bits of information throughout the day. He has cold water for us and was happy to answer any questions.
Heads up that there is also a "big train" that uses the bamboo track which we didnt realise. We did have to wait about 20mins at the end of the track for that to pass (afternoon trip time). During that time there are a few families selling souvenirs, food and drinks.

Excellent day out with Bun - We had a great day out with Bun while in Battambang. We did the afternoon tour on a rainy day. Bun was an incredibly informative guide with lots of local insight and commentary on daily life in Cambodia. He was flexible and mindful of our needs, taking us to buy rain ponchos when it really came down. He also gave us an excellent restaurant recommendation for dinner and dropped us there at the end of the trip. The bamboo train was a real highlight. Bun is worth every penny, a kind and experienced guide.

Great half day trip in Battambang - The tour guide gave a lot of interesting information about both the history and the current situation in Battambang and Cambodia in general. A good half-day trip to the must-see facilities in Battambang.

Really special experience with bun, and great value. - Our guide was Bun and he gave us a great mix of country life, commentary on the lives of Cambodians and some incredible sights. We won’t forget the bamboo train (and having to jump off and dismantle it while the big train came by) or the sight of millions of bats leaving a cave at dusk to have a night hunting bugs. Really special experience and great value.

What a great day! It is... - What a great day! It is quite long though so keep that in mind, sitting in a tuktuk for 7 hours.
Loved the bat caves and the bamboo train, as well as just seeing more of the country side.
