Kompong Phluk Half-Day Tour from Siem Reap

Kompong Phluk Half-Day Tour from Siem Reap

Cruise down the river to the main village of Kompong Phluk. See the local fishermen go about their daily tasks. Visit the flooded forest and cruise out onto the great lake.

Be picked up from Siem Reap at 8:30am and travel through small, beautiful, rural villages and rice fields towards the great lake. Depending on the time of year and the current water levels, you will go as far as you can by road to where your boats will be waiting for you. Travel the rest of the way by boat down the river and into the main village.

The village is home to approximately 3,000 people, predominately Khmer fishing people. Depending on the time of year, you will either sail on through the main street of the village (when the water is high the roads become a river) or walk along it in the low water level season. Either way, it’s a great opportunity to see how the rural fishing villages live and go about their daily tasks.

From there, transfer into a small boat to row you through the flooded forest of Kompong Phluk (or if the water levels are low we walk through the treetop canopy walkway). Then proceed onto the great lake and see the small floating village. Your tour ends with transportation back to your hotel or guesthouse.
