Street food tour at 60 Road is a very popular place for Cambodians and other Asians to meet for dinner with friends. Sometimes you will see Crickets, Frogs, Scorpions, Tarantula, Silk Works and Grasshoppers which are part of our diet and very delicious. You will see vendors cooking the local foods and if you would like to try something, please ask your guide and they will ask the cook for a sample for you to try. Departure time from your hotel will be 17:30 and you will spend an hour or more wandering 60 Road. Our guide will show you around before you start your dinner – you choose what you would like to eat from a variety of local dishes. The food should only cost you a few dollars, depending on your appetite and what you choose to eat. You can either sit on mats on the ground or on chairs. This street market sets up every night, and is a lot of fun. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to taste local foods. After food tasting if you’d like to visit Pub Street just let our guide and driver know and then we can drop you off around Pub Street with your own excursions with our local people.
An ancient Khmer, Phnom Kulen was called Mahendraparvata, “Mountain of Indra, the King of the Gods”. It was a thriving city around the size of modern Phnom Penh and the birthplace of the Khmer empire, where King Jayavarman II proclaimed Cambodia’s independence from Java in AD 802. Following this, the capital moved to Roluos (formerly called Hariharalaya).
Though known of by locals, the Kulen’s ancient city was formally rediscovered by explorers in 2012. Starting with a ground expedition and later employing LIDAR technology, Jean-Baptiste Chevance and Damian Evans uncovered Mahendraparvata and several historically important temples, like Prasat O’Paong, which is shaped like a pyramid, with three levels and five towers, similar to those of Angkor Wat
Phnom Kulen is within the Kulen National Park, which requires a separate ticket. It’s $20 per person if bought at the gate at the entrance to the mountain. Cambodians can enter the park for free.

We will stop for lunch on the way to Rolous Group. After lunch, we continue on our journey to explore temples in the Rolous Group.
Ratanakiri, Stueng Treng, Preah Vihera, Mondul Kiri Provinces etc. in northeastern Cambodia is home to many species of animals. One 1996 survey of an area to the northwest of Lomphat Wildlife Sanctuary recorded 44 mammals, 76 birds, and 9 reptile species.[1] The following is an incomplete list of species recorded in Ratanakiri etc..Firstly, I eat meat. Although a reformed vegetarian, I am normally very happy to consume the meat produced by the efforts of others ; secondly, despite the unpleasantness of actually listening to the pig’s last few minutes, it was actually killed in a more humane way and enjoyed more freedom in its life than it’s brothers and sisters in the western world; lastly, the sacrifice of a large animal is a cause for community celebration, it means that everyone in the community will eat meat, enjoy festivities together and is very much appreciated. The traditional process of butchering the meat involves a significant amount of thanks-giving and gratitude to the gods for allowing the pig to be consumed. Needless to say, I am not going to go out of my way to sign up to another pig sacrifice but regardless of my feelings about the killing, I did feel very grateful for being able to enjoy the end product with the indigenous farmers and can safely say I learnt a lot about their culture as a resul
