Kompong Phluk Village, the Flooded Forest

08:00-13:30 hrs & 13:00-18:30 hrs

Drive to the fishing village of Chhong Kneas near Siem Reap and board a private boat. Visit the floating village and discover the centuries-old lifestyle of the inhabitants of the lake. Enjoy the natural splendor of the country during a cruise across the Tonle Sap Lake to the village of Kompong Pluk. Visit Kompong Pluk village with its houses standing on stilts and board a pirogue to discover the seasonally flooded forest. Return to Siem Reap port and drive back to Siem Reap.

Note: From August to January the water level is still high enough to flood the forest surrounding the Tonle Sap Lake. For the remainder of the year you will not see a flooded forest but the houses of the village will appear as like standing on gigantic stilts which makes a visit to this village worthwhile all year round.
