A must!
Hannah_H, Apr 2025
A fantastic tour! I can’t believe how much we did in such a short space of time. Mr Lychee was a brilliant guide, he took us to some really interesting places that I don’t think were included in the other tours. He also had a seemingly limitless supply of ice cold water which was very welcome!
Informative & interesting tour

We had an excellent time with Mr Lychee. He picked us up from our hotel and took us on amazing afternoon tour of local villages, the Bamboo train and the Bat Caves. So informative. We learnt such a lot. Very poignant when we went up to the Killing Cave. Would thoroughly recommend this tour
Bamboo Train a Must Do in Cambodia

Mr. Leechy was very knowledgeable guide and a very safe driver. I absolutely loved the bamboo train. It’s a must do when in Cambodia
Itinerary
Ta Dumbong Kro Aung Statue
The afternoon's trip will start at 12:30 p.m. I'll pick you up at your hotel or restaurant. First, we'll have a briefing. Then, I will take you on a tour of Battambang's French colonial buildings. This includes the monument of Ta Dambong Kra Aung statue, which is the city's symbol. Afterward, we'll continue to our next goal (the original bamboo train).
30 minutesPhnom Sampeau
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.
2 hoursBattambang Bat Caves
I will take you on the original bamboo train. This is the last chance to ride the original bamboo train at Osrolao village. This village is a long distance for riders about 7 k.m.
The government plans to close it soon. The ride per hour can see scenic views of small villages and countryside. Then, for a late lunch, head to a village restaurant.
2 hoursPhnom Sampeau
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.
2 hoursAdmission IncludedBattambang Bat Caves
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.
