Unique Transportation Experience

About This Attraction

Battambang Cambodia

The Bamboo Train in Battambang is a unique and intriguing form of rural transportation in Cambodia. Often referred to as the Norry by locals, this simple rail vehicle consists of a bamboo platform that sits on two axles powered by a small motor. Originally used by villagers to transport goods and people, it has now become a popular tourist attraction. Visitors can enjoy a short ride through the Cambodian countryside, which offers an authentic glimpse into local life.

For Bamboo Train travel information, its important to note that the tracks are shared with other trains, so passengers may have to disassemble their vehicle to allow others to pass. The train ride typically lasts about 30 minutes, offering picturesque views of fields and villages along the way. While safety measures are minimal, the experience is generally considered safe and suitable for all age groups. This makes it an accessible and memorable activity for travelers interested in experiencing Cambodias rural charm.
