Tour Itinerary
This tour will take you on a journey into the countryside to experience the delights of village life in rural Cambodia. Well away from the tourist crowds, we'll see the 'Real Cambodia'. quite literally, because you'll also be taking part in creating and cooking your own lunch using traditional methods!
An ox-cart ride in the countryside, a visit to a village school and a short walking tour to see rice paddys and meet local people are also included. We may even see a local wedding!
We start the tour with a visit to a village market around 20km from Siem Reap. Here we will be assisted by our guide and chef in selecting the ingredients we require to make lunch. While the chef takes the produce to the village - we will visit the Artizans d'Angkor Silk Farm - to see traditional methods of making silk by hand.
Then we head to the village - and start to prepare and cook lunch. We'll make a variety of dishes to suit all tastes - vegetarian options are always available. We will have ample time to relax and savour the delights of our cooking!
After lunch, a tour around the village will be an excellent way to walk off that delicious meal. Or how about climbing aboard an Ox-cart for a unique way to ride and explore this beautiful countryside? Every day is different - who knows what we'll see! Maybe we'll catch a local wedding ceremony, or perhaps meet a farmer tending his crops and land?
Now it's time to head out to a rural school. We could visit any one of five schools that this tour supports. We will hand out some supplies for the children - maybe pencils and colouring books. Sometimes it could be sports equipment or reading books.
There will be time to meet the children and the teachers - perhaps you can get involved for an hour or so, helping the class with English conversation. Be prepared for an enthusiastic welcome - and lots of questions from the class!
This will indeed be a day to remember!
