Description

Day 1: Roluos Group & Banteay Srei (Lady Temple)

  • Morning: Your private guide and driver will pick you up from your hotel to explore the ancient temples of the Roluos Group. Begin at Preah Ko, built in 879 AD to honor the king’s royal ancestors, followed by the magnificent Bakong Temple, the very first mountain temple of the Angkorian period. Continue to Lolei, situated on a former island reservoir, before heading out to visit the legendary Banteay Srei (the “Citadel of Women”), widely celebrated as the crown jewel of classical Khmer art for its extraordinarily intricate pink sandstone carvings.

  • Afternoon: Conclude your day exploring Banteay Samre, one of the most complete and harmoniously restored temple complexes in the Angkor region, before returning to your hotel for drop-off.

Day 2: Highlights of Angkor: Angkor Wat, Bayon & Ta Prohm

  • Morning: Meet your guide in your hotel lobby at 8:00 AM and head to the ancient royal city of Angkor Thom. Explore its monumental South Gate, the smiling stone faces of the Bayon Temple, the historic Baphuon, Phimeanakas, and the royal terraces. Afterward, wander through the ethereal, jungle-entwined ruins of Ta Prohm, where massive tree roots embrace moss-covered stones. (Break for lunch)

  • Afternoon: Discover the breathtaking grandeur of Angkor Wat, the largest religious monument in the world. Built in the 12th century by King Suryavarman II and dedicated to Vishnu, its towering spires and timeless bas-reliefs form the proud symbol of Cambodia. Return to town for hotel drop-off.

Day 3:  Beng Mealea, Koh Ker Pyramid & Kompong Khleang Floating Village

  • Morning: Venture about 50 km from town into the jungle to explore Beng Mealea, a mesmerizing 12th-century temple swallowed by nature. Next, continue to the UNESCO-listed archaeological site of Koh Ker, the 10th-century rival capital of the Khmer Empire established by King Jayavarman IV. Marvel at its unconventional urban planning and the striking pyramid-like structure of Prasat Thom.

  • Afternoon: On your return journey to Siem Reap, visit the vast Tonle Sap Lake to experience the fascinating stilted floating village of Kompong Khleang, where homes rise high above the water. Return to town for your final hotel drop-off.

Group: $544.00/group ( Max. 6 pax )

Private Siem Reap City Tour

,

This tour is perfect for those with a little more time on their hands and those interested in the recent Cambodian history. The War Museum houses a wide array of weapons and military vehicles collected from Cambodian battlefields and will shed a light on the recent years of turmoil and explain what shaped the country you see today. Wat Thmei, the Memorial of Victims of the Khmer Rouge Regime, is another sobering reminder of the recent, turbulent past of Cambodia. To lighten up the mood a little we suggest a visit to the Artisans d'Angkor workshop where skilled artists produce gorgeous pieces of lacquer, stone carvings and silver plating and seeing them at work shows the positive direction of the path Cambodia finds itself on today. If you don't find your souvenirs and gifts here then perhaps the Old Market will have what you are looking for. Browse and use your bartering skills to bring home your memories of Siem Reap.
