For a real slice-of-life Cambodia style, take our TONLE SAP BOAT
CRUISE on this immense freshwater sea. Normally 3,000 square
kilometers in size, melting ice from the Himalaya Mountains more
than doubles the area of the lake each year from July through
October. As a result, Tonle Sap is home to numerous floating
villages made up of charming houseboats, gas stations, schools,
and even karaoke clubs! A haven for wildlife. the lake is visited
by millions of migrating birds, especially during the period from
December through March.
This
morning we will enjoy a boat ride on the Tonle Sap lake.
This is the largest permanent fresh-water lake in South East Asia
and flows into Tonle Sap River, joining the Mekong in Phnom Penh.
We will see a fishermen's "floating village" with floatting
schools, floatting police station, etc. It is same as a big
village floatting on the lake, and the "village" move from place
to place following water levels and curant.
afternoon, we will visit Siem Reap central market and the
Silk Farm in Puok, established by a French NGO to revive
Cambodia's beautiful silk production. We can see every step of
silk production . |
