Customs and Culture Half Day Walk and Bike Tour in Battambang

Your guide will take you by bicycle to witness first hand the melting pot of cultures, ethnicities and religions, that exist in modern Cambodia. First we visit families in a Muslim fishing village outside of Battambang. We will explore the village on foot and learn about their traditional livelihoods, family history, and ways of living. After getting some coffee and quick rest, we will ride through the countryside and arrive at a Buddhist temple, where you will have a chance to chat with a young, friendly Buddhist monk. The tour includes a Cambodian style lunch at a family home.

Start the day off at our office in the center of town. Go into the countryside with our local guides to learn about the different roles in a Muslim fishing village such as a net weaver, fisherman, and dried fish maker. You'll ride through scenic rice fields and learn about local rice production and the importance of rice to Cambodian life. Take a break and enjoy drinks at a local Muslim cafe. Have a chance to explore a Buddhist temple and speak with a young monk there to learn about his lifestyle and more about Buddhist culture. Finish the tour with an authentic Cambodian style lunch. 

This tour is suitable for people of all fitness levels. The ride is about 17 km. After hotel pickup, the tour starts from the Soksabike office at 7:30 and returns around 12:30pm.
