Customs and Culture Half Day Walk and Bike Tour in Battambang
Your guide will take you by bicycle to witness first hand the melting pot of cultures, ethnicities and religions, that exist in modern Cambodia. First we visit families in a Muslim fishing village outside of Battambang. We will explore the village on foot and learn about their traditional livelihoods, family history, and ways of living. After getting some coffee and quick rest, we will ride through the countryside and arrive at a Buddhist temple, where you will have a chance to chat with a young, friendly Buddhist monk. The tour includes a Cambodian style lunch at a family home.
