• Ro Lus Market - Visit a local market located on the banks of the Rolous River. This market is a key spot where villagers gather in the morning and late afternoon to buy fresh vegetables, meats, fruits, freshwater fish, and household items. It is the oldest Khmer market in the area and a must-see for those wanting to experience local life.
• Kampong Phluk - Kampong Phluk is an excellent destination for tourists to explore the flooded mangrove forests and floating villages. Discover the stunning Tonle Sap, the second-largest freshwater lake in the world. This lake is vital to the country, providing the main source of fish and protein for most Cambodians. Explore the flooded forest and floating villages, where a floating fishing village adapts to the changing water levels throughout the year. A local guide will share insights into the daily lives of those living both on land and water. Along the way, there will be opportunities to explore local villages on foot and interact with the residents.
• Kampong Phluk Floating Village - The community relies heavily on fishing, especially shrimp, during Cambodia’s wet season. Many homes and buildings are built on stilts, ranging from 6 to 9 meters, to accommodate the water level changes between wet and dry seasons. During the dry season (November-April), as the river narrows, many residents turn to farming to supplement their income. Tourism, which began in the village about 10 years ago, is also becoming an important part of the local economy.
• Wat Khsach - Make a stop at the Bamboo Sticky Rice village to taste local sticky rice cooked in bamboo, sample seasonal fruits, and capture photo opportunities. “The ingredients of Bamboo sticky rice include sweet rice, black beans, coconut cream, and spices, all cooked in bamboo. It is a traditional Khmer dish.”
• Prasat Beng Mealea - Explore the fascinating temple outside the Angkor area, King Suryavarman II’s 11th-century Beng Mealea temple, a prototype for the renowned Angkor Wat. Beng Mealea Temple is nestled in the jungle, offering an adventurous journey to reach it. Isolated during Cambodia’s civil war, it is the largest temple outside the main Angkor complex. Some parts remain remarkably intact, while others are enveloped by tree roots. The atmosphere is both eerie and a refreshing contrast to the more frequented temples near Angkor Wat. Beng Mealea shares many features with Angkor Wat but on a smaller scale, with three encircling galleries, four gates, and a pair of interior libraries. Unlike Angkor Wat, it has only one central tower instead of five.
• Ancient Quarry - Visit the site where ancient Khmer people cut stones to build Angkor Wat. Observe hundreds of stones that were cut and left behind. The tour guide will explain the stone-cutting and transportation methods used to construct Angkor Wat.
• Banteay Srei - Banteay Srei is primarily constructed of red sandstone, which allows for the intricate decorative wall carvings still visible today. It is the only major temple at Angkor not built by a monarch, but by a king’s counselor in the 10th century. This temple is intricately carved and well-preserved, with detailed reliefs that are among the finest in Cambodia.
• Cambodia Landmine Museum - The Cambodia Landmine Museum and Relief Center educates the public about the dangers of landmines and supports education for Cambodian youth. This center serves as a place of healing for bodies, hearts, and minds, emphasizing love, support, and education as essential for a better future for the children living here and visitors.

• Banteay Srey Butterfly Centre - The BBC is a butterfly zoo near Angkor Wat, established in 2009, and is the largest enclosed butterfly center in Southeast Asia. Founded by British butterfly enthusiasts Ben Hayes and Mike Baltzer, the BBC connects responsible tourism with environmental conservation. Scientifically, butterflies belong to the lepidopteran insect group, which also includes moths, and both are featured at the BBC. The center showcases a variety of local lepidopterans in a large netted garden. Due to their short lifespan and seasonal nature, twice as many species are present around the center during November and December. The BBC also operates as a sustainable butterfly farm, providing training for locals. Some butterflies are for the center’s gardens, while others are for sale and export.
• Preah Dak - This village is renowned for producing Khmer Palm Sugar. The tour guide will explain how locals extract palm juice and produce palm sugar.
