Stop 8: Making Fish Paste (Prohok)

The fish paste market is where we see how Cambodians make this vital ingredient. Before the fermented paste is finally ready to be eaten, it has to be stored in large pots and preserved for many months. We will also see the locals drying other kinds of fish that come in interesting colors.

Stop 9: Making Bamboo Sticky Rice (Kro Lan)

This healthy and well-known snack, cooked in pieces of fresh bamboo, is enjoyed by local travelers and farmers. It is often seen for sale on road side stalls.

Stop 10: Phnom Sompov mountain

-Pagoda: On the middle way of the mountain you see one pagoda with the beautiful painting on its wall. It used to use as a prison during the Khmer Rough regime.

-Killing Cave:  Many people were killed during the Khmer Rouge regime. A large number were marched up to the top of the mountain and plunged to their death into this cave. It is a very enlightening and somber experience.

-Monkeys: You will see many monkeys jumping through the trees and playing on the ground.

-The beautiful views: At the top of the mountain you will see the beautiful panoramic landscape of the Battambang region and its extensive green rice paddies.

Stop 11: Bat Cave/Flight

When we arrive at the bottom of the mountain, it will be time to watch the bats take flight. It is incredible to watch the long and endless line of bats as they fly out from the cave. Every evening, millions of bats fly to Tonle Sap Lake to feed on mosquitoes and insects, before returning in the morning.  This is a crucial symbiotic relationship between rice farmers and bats.  Lastly, we might see the sunset and finally return to your hotel.
