The shallow Tonle Sap lake boats the largest natural lake in South Eastern Asia, and is the lifeblood of Cambodia. You spend this day out on a boat and cruise through the scenic countryside to see fishmen in morning catch, visit some floating villages and watch the various bird species.

DETAILED ITINERARY

The shallow Tonle Sap lake is linked to the mighty Mekong River by the Tonle Sap River. In rainy season, the high waters of the Mekong River reverse the flow of the Tonle Sape River and increase the lake size from about 2, 600 to 10,400 sq km, making it one of the largest of fresh water bodies in Southeast Asia. The waters of the Tonle Sap River then flood the lake, increasing its size tenfold and flooding the surrounding forests and fields, leaving behind fertile silt for rice cultivation. In dry season. the lake drains and the river returns to its southern flow. Today we depart hotel at 8h30 and drive on a rugged road to the pier. On arrival we embark on a boat for a full day excursion to explore Tonle Sap Lake. We pass by the Chong Keas on our way to the bustling floating village of Prek Toal. There is an exciting cruise around this village as we see the local lifestyle close up. We continue venturing into the flooded forest to watch many species of rare water birds. The trip ends after arrival in Siem Reap Town. (L)
