Itinerary

<span> Day 1</span> Angkor Wat / Siem Reap

Sua s'dei! Welcome to Cambodia! Your local guide will collect you from your centrally located hotel between 8:00 am and 8:15 am to start your day tour in Siem Reap. Our Angkor adventure begins at Angkor Wat, the most renowned and well-preserved temple in the Angkor complex. Next, we’ll explore Angkor Thom and visit Bayon, known for its 54 towers adorned with over 200 mysterious smiling faces. We’ll also stop at the picturesque South Gate of Angkor Thom City. Enjoy a Khmer-style lunch at a local restaurant, where you can savor delicious local dishes and perhaps take a relaxing nap in a hammock or experience the traditional way of life in the nearby area. After lunch, we’ll continue to the stunning Ta Prohm temple, famously featured in Tomb Raider. If time allows, we may end the day by climbing the ancient Pre Rup temple, a striking brick pyramid. The evening is yours to explore as you wish, whether browsing the night markets for affordable and tasty street food or treating yourself to a traditional massage.

<span> Day 2</span> Banteay Srei / Siem Reap

Join a knowledgeable local guide for an immersive experience in Siem Reap, featuring temple exploration, nature appreciation, and insights into local life. Start with a visit to the Banteay Srei Butterfly Centre, where you’ll discover the lifecycle of butterflies in the largest tropical butterfly enclosure in Southeast Asia. The center reinvests its profits into the local community to help fight poverty. Next, explore the Cambodian Landmine Museum, founded in 1997 by former child soldier Aki Ra. The museum educates visitors on the significance of landmine removal and supports vulnerable Khmer children. Continue to the breathtaking Banteay Srei Temple, renowned for its exquisite stone carvings. After learning about the temple's history, indulge in a local Khmer lunch. On our way back, visit Preah Dak Village, the largest sugar palm producer in Siem Reap, where you can learn about the production of organic sugar and sample some sweet treats. Finally, tour two more magnificent temples in the grand circle of Angkor, culminating with a visit to Preah Khan Temple, one of the largest complexes in Angkor. After returning to your hotel, enjoy a free evening to explore as you wish.

<span> Day 3</span> Tonle Sap / Siem Reap

Uncover the hidden gems of Siem Reap on a half-day tour aboard a remork (Cambodian tuk tuk). Departing from Siem Reap, journey through the picturesque countryside to Tonle Sap Lake, one of the world's most fertile freshwater lakes. Each year, millions of fish migrate to spawn in the seasonally inundated forests surrounding the lake, drawing numerous water birds and villagers who have settled along its shores, living in harmony with the water's cycles. Designated a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 1997, this unique ecosystem offers a glimpse into life shaped by seasonal rains and water-based farming. Enjoy a boat ride around the lake to explore floating villages and experience this water-centric way of life. As you return to town via scenic backroads, observe traditional agricultural practices such as cricket catching, rice planting and harvesting, fish smoking, and the making of fish paste (prohoc), along with duck farming. Visit a local village to sample Khmer snacks and stop by a Buddhist monastery. The Secrets of Angkor tour concludes in Siem Reap between 12 pm and 1 pm. Please note that no accommodation is provided for the night.
