Siem Reap’s hidden side revealed
To truly experience the ‘real’ Cambodia, Asian Trails’ new tuk-tuk adventure ventures deep into the charming countryside of Siem Reap.
This journey takes travellers off the beaten path and into a world where centuries-old traditions and authentic rural lifestyles are very much alive.
While most tours focus on the iconic Angkor Wat and the ancient, UNESCO-listed temples of the Angkor Archaeological Park, this three-wheeled exploration offers a more intimate connection with the country’s cultural heritage.
Guided by locals, guests are taken along scenic backroads and through rustic villages, witnessing everyday life in its most genuine form.
The journey passes picturesque West Baray, an ancient Khmer-era reservoir. The pace is slow and flexible, so guests can meet the locals who are dedicated to preserving culinary and craft traditions.
A highlight is a stop to engage with families who produce fresh rice noodles and bamboo sticky rice cakes. Another enjoyable experience is a basket-weaving session under the guidance of skilled artisans.
Blending cultural discovery with a fun mode of travel, this excursion offers a rare opportunity to connect with a part of Cambodia that few get to see.
