Anyone planning a trip around Cambodia shouldn’t make the mistake of overlooking the wonderful province of Battambang. This underrated corner of the country serves up some stunning landscapes and is home to two of Cambodia’s most fascinating attractions.

Firstly, it would be criminal to leave the country without riding the highly unique Battambang Bamboo Train. Moreover, take a hike up the unmissable Phnom Sampeau Mountain, home to a world famous cave and a nightly procession of one million bats!

Battambang also educates visitors about Cambodia’s genocide years at the gruesome Khmer Rouge Killing Caves. For the full story of my visit, why not visit Battambang with my travel articles on:
