After breakfast, we will drive 18 km to Phnom Sampeu. This mountain is the site of two caves formerly used by the Khmer Rouge to torture and kill some of their victims. A memorial holding some of the victims' remnants has been created. At the top are two Wat, one which was used as a prison during the Khmer Rouge era, and a small, colorful modern one from where you can enjoy a spectacular view of the countryside. Afterwards, we will go to Phnom Banan hill and climb the 337 steps to reach the top (10 minutes’ walk up). There, we will visit the 12th century's Prasat Banan temple and enjoy another outstanding view over the surrounding plains. We will continue to the natural cave located down the hill. After a 15 minutes’ walk through banana plantations and forest, we will get the cave of the holy water.

After lunch, we will take another real life experience on the bamboo train which will bring us to village and countryside.

The train follows the railway track through villages and when it meets on-coming train or bamboo train, it can be disassembled and taken off the rails in few minutes, allowing the most loaded to pass. The « normal » train, which takes about 14 hours to links the 274 km between Battambang and Phnom Penh passes only once a week in every direction.
