Today provides the perfect opportunity to gain a better understanding of Cambodian rural life, along with an insight into traditional Khmer culture; something which few visitors are lucky enough to experience. Departing after breakfast accompanied by your guide, you’ll spend the day travelling through a number of relatively un-touched villages and learning about the day-to-day lives of the local people. This is a world away from Siem Reap, and provides you with the perfect opportunity to get ‘off the beaten track’. Your first stop is one of the villages, which is a small village made up of farmers and itinerant workers.  The families typically struggle to meet daily needs, and often struggle for food, and where  you will visit the rice plantation and see farmers busy at work in their fields and you may even join them for some hands-on experience to learning how to farm (The various stages of rice farming: Land preparation, Power sources, Planting, Weed and Pest control, Fertilization, Irrigation, and Harvesting – but Oct/Nov will be the harvesting season, so you spend time in the rice fields learning how to harvest!) The trip will also include the time without the benefit of air-conditioning, using a more typical method of transportation for this region. The (almost!) pollution free ox and cart is still widely used throughout Cambodia, and allows you to travel at a gentle, almost hypnotic pace along the narrow, village roads. After that, we travel to visit a home of a local family who will warmly welcome you to visit their house and enjoy a home-made lunch with a soft drink and a bottle of water altogether with their households. There will be plenty of time to relax and chat with the family as they prepare lunch (with your guide acting as interpreter). If you wish to assist then you are very welcome to do so, and this is also a fantastic opportunity to further your understanding of typical Khmer cuisine. This is likely to be very different from the dishes you may have sampled in the more westerner-orientated restaurants! Having enjoyed your lunch before returning to Siem Reap.

Meal: Local home-made lunch

In the afternoon, visit the Tonle sap where we will enjoy a boat ride (private boat and guide) on the Tonle Sap lake.
