Overview
Quick answer: The Kampong Khleang tour is a private eight-hour day trip from Siem Reap to one of the largest floating villages on Tonle Sap Lake, about 1.5 hours away by car. You walk between stilt houses, ride a boat toward the lake and eat in the village. Choose an air-conditioned car (Lexus SUV), minivan or tuk-tuk. Private tours start at $70 per group.
Kampong Khleang is one of the largest floating villages on Tonle Sap Lake and far quieter than the villages closest to Siem Reap. This private full-day tour takes you about 1.5 hours out of town by car, through rice fields and countryside villages, to a community where houses stand on tall stilts and daily life carries on as it always has.
You will walk the main street, stop at the morning market, ride a boat through the channels toward the open lake and have lunch in the village. The route follows the water level, and your guide, Tivorn, a licensed local guide, explains how families, schools and fishing livelihoods adapt to the lake’s seasons. Because the tour is private, you set the pace.

Frequently Asked Questions
About 50 km, roughly 1.5 hours by car each way, so plan a full day. A tuk-tuk takes longer. Closer villages such as Chong Khneas and Kampong Phluk take half a day.
Yes. You travel only with your own group, with your own guide and vehicle, and you set the pace together.
The Lexus SUV, an air-conditioned car, suits most couples, families and groups of up to 4. The minivan suits bigger groups. A tuk-tuk suits adventurous travellers who don’t mind a slower, open-air ride. Tell Tivorn your group size and he will recommend the best fit.
Neither is better; they differ. Kampong Phluk is closer and popular for sunrise and sunset. Kampong Khleang is larger, quieter and shows more everyday life, but needs a full day.
You can visit all year. High water, roughly August to December, lets boats travel farthest, while in the dry season the stilt houses stand taller. Your guide adjusts the route to the water level. See our best time to visit guide for the wider seasonal picture.
Yes. The walking is easy and the boat ride is calm, but the sun is strong, so bring hats, sunscreen and water. The day is long, and a tuk-tuk can tire young children, so tell us your children’s ages when you book.
No. Kampong Khleang is a lake village outside the Angkor temple area, so no Angkor Pass is needed.
