Before we board the bamboo train, we'll visit small, picturesque villages. We'll travel through the countryside to see some fruit farms and local pagodas along the riverbank. The farmers have wonderful smiles, and young children are waving and saying HELLO!) to you, and I will stop in the village to explain how the locals live there. Then we go to visit a suspension bridge near the Kampong Pil Pagoda. You can take pictures on the bridge with stunning river views. After that, we continue our trek to the Bamboo Train.

This mountain is known as Phnom Sampov, or the (killing cave, bat cave). This is where you can view the cave from the top. They executed victims during the Pol Pot regime and pushed them down into the cave. After visiting the cave, you can climb the mountain to witness a beautiful vista and a Buddhist pagoda. Note: There are a lot of monkeys over there. Don’t be very close to them because some of them are very aggressive. To go up to the mountain, you have a few different options to choose from. You can climb up to the mountain by walking. If you prefer, you can take a motorcycle or pick-up truck up to the mountain.

So, in this cave, you'll notice a lot of bats fluttering around. Their cave resembles a lengthy dragon (there are millions of them). It takes 30 to 40 minutes to get all of them to fly out of the cave. This is their final stop of the tour. After the bat cave, I'll drive you back to your hotel.
