On the second day of the tour, guests will have the chance to visit two villages to witness farming activities, such as rice planting or harvesting, based on the time of year. They will also be able to observe buffaloes returning from the fields and fishermen coming back from the lake. The day will conclude with a visit to a picturesque location perfect for capturing the sunset, which happens to be one of our preferred sunset spots for photography in Cambodia.

Day 3: Rural Life

On the third day, we will begin our exploration of a village situated on the edge of the Tonle Sap Lake during the rainy seaon or surrounded by fields during the rest of the year. The village is a hub of activities such as fishing, rice harvesting, and sugar making. We will also visit a nearby monastery to observe the daily routine. Before returning, we will take some time to review the images taken during the tour.
