Embarking on a tour from Sihanoukville to Kampot offers a delightful escape into the heart of Cambodia's natural beauty and cultural heritage. This journey takes you to the charming town of Kampot, where you can immerse yourself in its unique attractions and experiences. From the famous Salt Fields to the mystical Secret Lake, and from the ancient Phnom Chhngok cave temple to the renowned Pepper Farm, there is something for everyone in this picturesque region.

As you arrive in Kampot, you'll be greeted by its laid-back atmosphere and scenic riverside location. Take a leisurely stroll along the riverfront promenade, lined with colonial-era buildings and charming cafes. The town's vibrant market is a must-visit, offering a sensory experience of local flavors, colors, and aromas. Don't forget to try some of the region's famous durian fruits, known for their unique taste and aroma.

We move to the Kampot salt fields. You will see how the farmers work on the salt fields. Cambodia exports a variety of goods, including salt products. Cambodia is capable of producing enough salt for domestic use as well as export. The majority of the goods are produced in Kampot, which is close to the sea. Salt production is from around the beginning of December to April.

Then, we drive to Phnom Chhngok Cave Temple. Traveling there on the winding dirt road, especially by motorcycle, could be very tiring. However, passing past scenic views of the Cambodian countryside, featuring paddy fields, small farms and limestone formations covered in dense vegetation, should suitably compromise. The mountain is a hulking limestone karst, which houses many hidden chambers, rocky outcrops, and stalactites, formed by calcium carbonate solution. The largest cave is the home of an ancient red-brick temple resting under a massive rock formation resembling an eagle. Phnom Chhngok Cave temple was probably erected during the 7th century, particularly within the pre-Angkorian era known as the Funan period in Cambodia.

The Secret Lake or Broteak Krola Lake is located on the way to Pepper Farm where you can take photos and see the freshest and clearest water with natural surroundings such as mountains, forest, and agriculture. 

We visit the Kampot Pepper farm. La Plantation is the largest and the perfect place to learn the history of Kampot Pepper and understand how it is produced traditionally and organically. You will understand why Kampot Pepper has been elected as the #1 best pepper in the world by chefs and foodies for more than a century. La Plantation is the only place to discover and taste a full range of Kampot peppers and spices organically grown at the farm.
