    Once a thriving capital under the reign of King Jayavarman IV, Koh Ker was characterized by its sacred sanctuaries, fertile farmlands, water reservoirs, rivers, and vibrant communities, complete with traditional houses.

  3. Siem Reap
    2h
    In the Cambodian countryside, most of the Cambodian people are farmers and fishermen. These larger groups of people are interested in living their village lives, and they easily move around for farming and fishing. These two occupations are their main sources of income to support their families. They rely on rice and fish for their daily meals. Cambodia is one of the countries most affected by flooding in the world, so agriculture is the primary focus of farming in Cambodia. We grow rice, potatoes, cashews, bananas, mangoes, durian, peppers, sugar palm trees, jackfruit, oranges, and various vegetables. Cambodian crops are grown organically, benefiting from the country's fertility. It’s truly amazing to take a few hours to explore the local villages and their communities. After your tour, we will transfer you back to your hotel in Siem Reap city. Enjoy your stay and relax. Thank you for choosing our tour services!
