A bicycle tour accompanies you to explore the diverse cultures, ethnicities and faiths present in contemporary Cambodia. We start by visiting families in an outlying Muslim fishing village near Battambang. Walking around the village, we gather insights about their conventional ways of life, ancestral tales, and lifestyles. After a short coffee break, our journey continues through the rural country landscape towards a Buddhist temple. Here, an engaging conversation with a congenial young Buddhist monk awaits you. The tour also comprises a lunch cooked in Cambodian style at a local residence.
