Really amazing seeing how the locals live and farm. Interesting to walk around in the village helping with daily tasks and talking to the locals. A breath of fresh air away from the cities and toursist. Ending the tour with a cooking class and eating the delicious food you make. Lovely lady teaching you how to make the food. You dress up in farmers clothes that are really comfortable and stylish. Would Absolutely reccomend.
Fantastic would recommend to anyone who likes food
A life enriching experience. Wondering around the Cambodian countryside and community. A chance to get a glimpse of how peaceful, beautiful life can be. Greeted by many smiles, children on bikes and grandmothers weaving baskets. Waterbuffalows, cows and dogs. Herbs and fields of rice. The cooking class was delightful, the food well prepared and clean. We cooked mango salad, 1000 vegetables soup and a beef dish. All were delicious. The finale , we ate the meal on a table over looking a rice field - a beautiful setting. Thank you to Chandra and our host family.
Lovely experience which you would miss if you only stay in the city. To see the people work really hard, how they do it and what they do all day. Especially from the western world I believe this was also a real eye opener for me. Also a small cooking class with really nice food.
We had an amazing experience during this farm tour on the Cambodian countryside. Our guide was incredibly welcoming and friendly, and he shared many fascinating stories about rural life that really brought the whole experience to life. We walked through an authentic village, where we met local farmers and even helped out with daily tasks like maintaining an irrigation canal, weeding, and harvesting lemongrass. It was a wonderful hands-on way to understand the rhythm of farming life. To end the day, we cooked several traditional Khmer dishes together and enjoyed our meal at a beautiful spot overlooking the rice fields. The view, the food, and the peaceful atmosphere made it truly unforgettable. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to experience the real spirit of Cambodian rural life!
This tour was such an amazing experience in the countryside! We started our morning with the pick up by tuktuk and arrived after about 30 minutes at the country side village. Lovely to experience the slow paced village life and to get an impression of how rattan furniture and baskets are made. The walk through the village was fun and a bit of an adventure due to the rainy season and unpaved roads. The cooking class was a great way to learn to cook and taste traditional Khmer food such as KorKo soup, Loklak and mango salad. To finish the tour we had a monk blessing, which is also a great way to connect with the spiritual side of Cambodia. All in all I would highly recommend if you want to experience village life.
I'd say this trip is worth it. Though, if you're planning to experience it firsthand, I'd say you be prepared and of course be open minded, for these are experiences that you cannot find anywhere in the city.
Incredible getting out of the city and into the real Cambodia for half a day. Get your feet dirty, cook some amazing food, meet some amazing people. Lots to learn, lots to see! Remember sun screen if you’re skin is sensitive and be ready to get muddy! (Traditional Khmer clothes are provided to keep yours clean).
