you may have. It takes about 10 minutes to reach the first village and upon arrival we will exit
the vehicle and jump onto one of our traditional riverboats– smaller boats with life jackets and
toilets,for your safety and comfort and driven by experienced and safe local drivers. On route
we will have an opportunity to stop and take some photos of the lotus flowers (seasonal) which
is a deeply important flower in Buddhism.

ordinary Cambodians going about their daily life in the floating village. Fishermen,
boat-makers, markets, schools, spirit houses and waving children are always in plentiful supply
on this mesmerizing scenic route, and it is not uncommon for the scenery to provoke silence on
the Mini Tara, as guests take in the sights and sounds that surround them. A quick stop also at
the floating fish farm is quite interesting, Once the cruise through the floating village is complete, your boat will briefly enter the edge of the Great Lake before docking the boat on the
Tonle Sap Lake. Please take the time to explore our beautiful restored riverboat as she has a
great history to tell.

photo taken at the steering wheel. Watch as other tour groups drive past on their rickety little
boats whilst you chill out, relax, and enjoy the comfort & luxury of the biggest boat on the lake.

Overnight in Siem Reap

We embark on an amazing journey to the unexplored and beautiful lush mountain region of the
north. Phnom Kulen, the holiest mountain in Cambodia. Kulen is no doubt the mount the most
sacred of Cambodia, a very active pilgrimage place and a picnic destination for Khmer families.
Few foreigners visit this magnificent place making this destination very unique . A one hour
and half drive from Siem Reap, we pass through local villages, farms lands, rice fields and
temples taking us to a trail through dense jungle leading to the top of the mountain .
Here stands Preah Ang Thom, a 16th century Buddhist monastery notable for the giant reclining
Buddha carved into the top of a 20m boulder. We climb the wooden staircase to a landing that
surrounds the 17m long Buddha, where monks and believers bow, burn incense and leave fruits.
We continue downstream to the magnificent series of tiered waterfalls. The waters hold special
religious significance for Hindus, thanks to the hundreds of phallic images carved into the
sandstone floors along the shady brook area. Having the opportunity to walk right into the
shallow river to photograph the sculptures and underwater carvings is simply amazing. The
river then drops about 4 m to a landing where court officials once bathed. Beyond that, the
water cascades another 20 m and creates a pool where the masses once washed.
