Township of Kampong Chanang in cambodia

We continue downstream on the Mekong River and in the early morning hours pass the capital Phnom Penh once again as we turn up the Tonle River which connects Tonle Lake, the largest lake in Indochina, with the Mekong River. We start to wind our way through jungle and as the river narrows you will be able to wave at the local population on the banks of the river as you go by. Eventually you will reach the rural township of Kampong Chanang where you will make a motor boat excursion into the lake wetlands that form the mouth of the river at the entry point to Tonle Sap Lake. There is a stunning variety of birdlife here and the fish traps are of interest. Some are up to half a kilometre long and net a huge tonnage of fish after each monsoon as the fish migrate from the falling lake into the Tonle River.
