• Siem Reap - Begin your day at 8 am with a pickup from your hotel for a private tour to the countryside. Enjoy a scenic 45-minute drive to the fishermen’s village of Kompong Phluk, which translates to ‘harbor of the tusks,’ located near Cambodia’s great lake.
• Kampong Phluk Floating Village - Experience the vastness of Tonle Sap Lake, with endless views and birds gracefully flying overhead, surrounded by the intriguing village.

During the dry season (February to July), the village is accessible by minibus or motorbike, as the typically flooded road becomes passable.

In the rainy season (August to January), a brief boat ride from the quay through the wetland area leads to Kompong Phluk. This village is not floating but built on high stilts, with some floating houses. Although fishing is often dominated by the Vietnamese minority, the residents of Kompong Phluk are predominantly Cambodian. Villagers frequently relocate between homes during the rainy season, living in stilt houses and moving to small huts near the waterfront during the dry season for fishing.

• Kampong Phluk Floating Village - Upon arrival at the quay, board a local boat for a 1.5-hour journey on Tonle Sap Lake and through the village. Witness nature as seen in picture books, making the effort to visit Kampong Phluk truly worthwhile. Explore the village, the pagoda on the only hill (the sole building not on stilts), and observe the villagers’ activities. Your knowledgeable guide will share insights into their culture, lifestyle, and the ecosystem of this captivating place.

Optional (August to January): For an additional fee, enjoy a canoe ride paddled by villagers, taking you deep into the dense flooded forest. The trees here are uniquely adapted to being submerged part of the year.

Return to Siem Reap and be dropped off at your hotel or a requested location within the Siem Reap city center.
