We travel southeast to one of the largest and least-visited villages on the Tonle Sap Lake, Kompong Khleang, about 55 km from Siem Reap. It has a population of about 10,000 people, all of whom make a living from the fishing industry. In the wet season, the houses appear to be floating, as water laps at the verandas, but in the dry season towering stilts are revealed, the houses almost like wooden skyscrapers. We cruise into the open water of the great lake to see a small floating village and learn some more about this incredible natural flood barrier. 

In the afternoon, we have time for an adrenaline adventure to experience ziplining with Angkor Zipline. Family‐friendly, fun, and safe, flying through the air above the jungle canopy is an exhilarating experience.
