Take a truck up the steep incline to the starting point and descend into the cave with your guide, who will bring the tragic history of this place to life. Pause along the way to enjoy the breathtaking views across the valley below.

Be amazed as this seemingly endless stream of fruit bats flies out of the cave and into the countryside for their evening meal.

Battambang is one of Cambodia’s most underrated destinations. Situated three hours south of Siem Reap, it offers a breathtaking countryside experience in an area known as the country’s ‘rice bowl.’ Travelers will journey from Siem Reap to Battambang in a private, air-conditioned car or van, and then switch to a tuk-tuk for the day tour.
