CLIMATE INFLUENCE ON SAP TONNO
To
choose the best time to visit, it is good to understand a little more about the
climate in Cambodia. The climate has a great impact on Tonle Sap Lake. Cambodia
has a dry and humid period. During the dry period (December to April), the
water flows through the Tonle Sap River back to the Mekong River. This is
visible in the capital, Phnom Penh. As of May, the wet season begins. The water
level in the Mekong rises, and the water returns to Lake Tonle Sap. During the
rainy season, Tonle Sap becomes the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia.
Living in Kampong Khleang, the coast of Tonle Sap
Kampong
Khleang lies on the shore of the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia.
With over ten thousand people, it is the largest community on the banks of Tonle Sap. On arrival, you will notice the houses on stilts—an
obvious choice to keep your feet dry during the rainy season. In the dry
season, people move on the land. When the water level increases in the wet
season, motorcycles are replaced by boats.
Best time to visit Kampong Khleang
You may wonder what the best time is to visit Kampong Khleang. The scenery between
the wet and dry seasons is incomparable. Great transformation! The village is
always accessible. In the dry season on land, and during the wet season by
boat. Choose your own preference and decide what is your best time to visit.
Tip:
You met the water festival, one of the biggest festivals in Cambodia. Is it all
about Tonle Sap Lake? It's three days in October or November. The exact dates
are determined based on the direction of the water flow.
Activity in agriculture and fisheries
When
the lake overflows, the floodplain will contain lots of nutrient-rich soil for
the fish. The fish can fall from the sky (trees) once the water withdraws. The
lake makes a great contribution to fishing, but in addition, the environment
becomes very fertile. You will discover different farming activities. People
live in floating villages (such as a small Vietnamese community outside Kampong
Khleang). You will see lots of liveliness.
Visit Kampong Khleang
Sothavuth
Tourism Cambodia (S.T.C.) organizes a daily trip to Kampong Khleang, an
exceptional village on small wooden posts. You will be picked up in the
morning. Shortly after getting on the bike and cycling through the rice fields
to a local market. Before you know, the cycle tour is over, you're sipping a
coconut and getting ready to go to Kampong Khleang. You will have lunch at a
local family's house, walk between stilt houses (depending on the water level),
and take a boat. The tour really shows how locals live, is versatile, and
well-organized—highly recommended!
