Description: On the way to Sihanoukville, you’ll stop in Kampot for an overnight stay. Some of interesting places enroute are worth to visit such as Tonle Bati, Takeo, Phnom Da, Kep, Bokor National Park and Kompong Som.
Depart from Phnom Penh for Kampot. En route, stop at Tonle Bati and visit Ta Prohm temple (12-13 centuries) and Yeay Peau temple (12th century). Visit the Prasat Neang Khmao, the temple of the Black Virgin (10th century). Visit a silk weaving village before proceeding to Takeo.
Lunch at local restaurant.
Take a boat from Takeo to Phnom Da (please note that the speedboat does not have a cover or any shade – hat and sun tan cream essential). Visit Phnom Da temple, a pre-Angkorian laterite tower (6th century) and Asram Maharoseil (6th century), an Indian-style sandstone temple constructed in a style unlike any other temple in Cambodia (the climb up is easy as this particular Phnom “hill” is not very high. The path up to the temple is steep, over some big rocks). Return to Takeo by boat and continue to Kep, formerly known as Kep-sur-Mer. Proceed to Kampot and check-in at hotel.
Breakfast. Drive to Bokor National Park; a pleasant 30 minutes forest walk will take you to the Popokvil Waterfalls. Access is difficult during the wet season and there may be no water in the dry season – however, the walk is pleasant at any time!
Visit the long abandoned hill station of Bokor Mountain: discover the ruins of the former Royal Residence, the church, the casino hotel and (weather permitting) enjoy an amazing view of the southern coast.
Picnic lunch provide at the site.
Drive back down the mountain and continue along the coast and the Damrei (Elephant) Mountains to Kompong Som (Sihanoukville). Check-in at hotel (vehicle and guide return to Phnom Penh). Dinner and accommodation at hotel.
Your time will be your own!
Breakfast at hotel.
Free at leisure to enjoy the beach.
Return to Phnom Penh in the afternoon with private car without guide.
