Day 9 – Thlok Veary – Phnom Bok Mountain – Prea Dak – Siem Reap
Firstly this morning we receive a blessing from the monks before breakfast. We then commence our trek up Phnom Bok Mountain. It takes around an hour of climbing uphill (with 633 steps) to reach the summit from where you’ll enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, as well as a chance to explore the ruins of an ancient temple. After our descent, we continue trekking to our lunch venue, after which we complete our trek by walking through various villages where there is a chance to witness local village industries such as noodle & sugar-palm making, as well as making handicrafts out of palm leaves. We complete the day with a transfer to Siem Reap (approx 30 mins transfer) and check into our hotel.
Transfers: 30 mins in vehicle at end of the day to reach the hotel
Trek: 20kms/ 6 hrs (mixed terrain, uneven and steep with many steps)
