On route we will have an opportunity to stop and take some photo of the lotus flowers (seasonal) which is a deeply important flower in Buddhism.

The boat cruise through the floating village, passing the flooded forests will allow you to see 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.
