This morning, leave the vibrant capital behind and travel
south toward Kampot, a charming riverside town nestled at the foot of
the Elephant Mountains. The drive offers glimpses of lush countryside,
rice paddies, and village life along the way.
Upon arrival in Kampot, explore its colonial-era
streets and tranquil riverfront before heading out to discover the area’s rural
beauty. Visit a traditional Kampot pepper farm, where the world-famous
pepper is cultivated using time-honored methods, and learn why it’s prized by
chefs around the world. Continue through peaceful villages and shimmering salt
fields, enjoying scenic views of the green hills that frame the region.
Later in the afternoon, unwind with a sunset cruise on
the Preaek Tuek Chhu River, soaking up the golden light as it reflects over
the water and the surrounding countryside. Overnight in Kampot.
