tour details
The village of Kompong Khleang is one of the largest permanent communities on the Tonle Sap Lake and is home to over 20,000 people livng in gigantic stilt houses with an economy based on fishing. We’ll head from Siem Reap to the remote and unique community of Kompong Khleang and board a private boat where you’ll enjoy spectacular views as we visit a small island at the center of the village. Here we’ll see its market, school and brightly painted pagodas. After exploring the island, we’ll continue by boat to witness traditional life in this charming community on the waters of the great Tonle Sap Lake. Whether visiting during dry or wet season, spending time among the stilt houses and lively community of Kompong Khleang is an incredible experience.
tour description
Note: During the high water season from August to January the water level rises to within one or two meters of the buildings. During this time of year the village becomes a lively place with floating houses scattering in the vicinity of Kompong Khleang on the lake. The dry season reveals a spectacular site as the stilt houses rise up to ten meters into the sky. The floating houses are now on the open lake and can be visited with a scenic boat ride.
We suggest to conduct this tour in the morning as there are more activities to be observed compared to the rather quiet afternoon.
