    What you'll see and do

    1. Take a ride on the traditional Bamboo Train, a bamboo platform laid over 2 sets of wheels on a single track. In the old days this was used to transport goods between Battambang and Phnom Penh and was a typical mode of transport for farmers and villagers. Today, it takes you through the beautiful countryside to a little village you can explore on foot before returning to your starting point.

      60 minutes here · Admission included

    2. Wat Banan Temple

      Climb the 365 stairs to marvel at Wat Banan, an Angkor era temple which sits on top of a hill close to the Sanker river. Banan is seldom frequented by tourists and outside of Cambodian holidays it is likely that you may be the only visitor.

      60 minutes here · Admission included

    3. Phnom Sampeau

      Scale the side of a mountain leading to the 'secret bat cave' just before sunset where you will sit atop the mountain waiting for the millions of bats located inside the cave to awake. Marvel as this seemingly never-ending stream of fruit bats fly out of the cave and off into the countryside for their evening meal.

    Great full day tour!

    We were able to spend an awesome day with Mr. Han yesterday. He is outstandingly polite, caring and knowledgeable about the Cambodian culture and history. He did not only share general information but also his very own experience with the Cambodian history, which was incredibly touching and interesting. He went out of his way to make the day perfect for us. Thank you so much! We can highly recommend booking a tour with Mr. Han!

    Tour around Battambang

    We had the best day going around town with Han Houn, he is super polite and a great guide. Cambodian history is mind blowing and Han Houn know it's in first hand and get's you deep in it with his own experience and with historical facts. In every place we went people made us feel welcome making us part of their ways and traditions. I trully recomend taking the full day tour with him if you wanna get a really cambodian experience.

    Full Day From Siem Reap - Bamboo Train, Killing Cave & Sunset: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Siem Reap.

    How much does Full Day From Siem Reap - Bamboo Train, Killing Cave & Sunset cost?

    +

    Prices start at $80 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Siem Reap usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Full Day From Siem Reap - Bamboo Train, Killing Cave & Sunset take?

    +

    Plan for about 15 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Siem Reap is not rushed.

    Is Full Day From Siem Reap - Bamboo Train, Killing Cave & Sunset worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 57 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Siem Reap, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Full Day From Siem Reap - Bamboo Train, Killing Cave & Sunset?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Full Day From Siem Reap - Bamboo Train, Killing Cave & Sunset suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 15-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Full Day From Siem Reap - Bamboo Train, Killing Cave & Sunset?

    +

    Around 20 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Siem Reap can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Siem Reap and add a light layer if any part of the 15-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Full Day From Siem Reap - Bamboo Train, Killing Cave & Sunset start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Siem Reap within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Siem Reap?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Siem Reap experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Kampong Phluk Floating Village Tour by Boat, Angkor Wat Sunrise or Sunset Tour with Guide from Siem Reap, Angkor Wat Sunrise & 3 Main Temples – Small Group. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Siem Reap?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Siem Reap?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
