Cambodia

This village offers a visit full of emotion and surprise! Located 50 km south of Siem Reap and set on the shores of Southeast Asia’s largest lake, the Tonlé Sap, Kampong Khleang embodies everything authentic and charming that travelers seek when arriving in Cambodia.

A moving uniqueness

The villagers—both children and adults—navigate between stilt houses that rise above the waters of the Tonlé Sap. You’ll be captivated by the village’s unique atmosphere, the warm smiles and cheerful “hellos” from the children as you pass by, and the lively rhythm of daily life, centered largely around fishing.

Beyond your visit to this floating village, take time to appreciate the magnificent lake and its surrounding ecosystem. Tonlé Sap is renowned for its rich biodiversity. The Prek Toal Bird Sanctuary, located on the lake, is home to over a hundred species of water birds—a perfect opportunity to learn more about local conservation efforts and the protection of this remarkable natural environment.
