What to expect
Visit Phnom Sampov’s hilltop religious sites and watch a vast stream of bats emerge from the limestone cave at dusk.
Arrive in daylight for the climb and historical context, then use the designated bat-viewing area below. Keep voices and lights low, never enter closed caves and arrange the return to Battambang before dark.
Conditions, opening hours, transport and fees can change. Confirm locally before travelling, dress respectfully at religious sites, follow marked routes and ask permission before photographing people.
