Kampong Khleang is located on the northern lake-edge about 35 km east of Siem Reap town, more remote and less touristed than Kampong Phluk.
Visitors to Kampong Khleang during the dry season are universally awestruck by the forest of stilted houses rising up to 10 meters in the air. In the wet season the waters rise to within one or two meters of the buildings. It is a permanent community within the floodplain of the Lake, with an economy based in fishing and surrounded by flooded forest. But Kampong Khleang is significantly larger with near 10 times the population of Kampong Phluk, making it the largest community on the Lake. All lake regions are dry up in dry season and flooded in rainy season as of the Mekong River phenomenon.
Kompong Khleang fishing community views always change according to seasons. Houses are built on stilts with a height upon on flood peak of the lake.
Excursion tours are organized according to different seasons to see and understand local activities of fishermen, life adaptations, and the amazing ecosystem of the Tonle Sap Lake. Visit local market, pagoda and school and get unforgettable souvenirs.
