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 Anlong Veng Khmer Rouge Tour from Siem Reap

,
An interesting touring addition for those who have a little more time in Siem Reap and are keen to learn about the recent turbulent history of Cambodia. Anlong Veng lies 125km north of Siem Reap in the area of Dangrek Mountains which mark the border between Cambodia and Thailand. It appears on the touring map for two main reasons: it was the last stronghold of the Khmer Rouge and is the resting place of Pol Pot. Not much remains of Pol Pot's bunker but a shell of a house overgrown with foliage and “decorated” with profane graffiti. The province still has plenty of mine fields but these are away from the town centre and experts are working continuously on their clearance. Your guide will be able to shed more light on the last few decades and perhaps share the story of his/her family in those difficult times.

Private Day Tour: Banteay Srei, Roluos Temples & Floating Village

In the morning you will travel to a small temple of Banteay Srei well known for its beautiful delicate carvings in warm pink sandstone. This late 10th century temple is fairly compact and very different from other Angkorian temples. The late 9th century Hindu temples Bakong, Lolei and Preah Ko form what is collectively known as the Rolous group located 15km west of Siem Reap, away from the main Angkor Archaeological Park. Explore the early capital of Angkor and let your guide show you the most attractive sites in this location, the most impressive being the pyramid-like Bakong surrounded by moat still containing water today. Then, you will travel to Kompong Phluk, an authentic stilted village on the edge of the great Tonle Sap Lake. The Khmer, Vietnamese and Cham people live in harmony with the rising and falling water levels of the lake. Fun fact: most households here own boats as well as motorbikes as their road becomes a water channel during the monsoon.

Private One Day Trip-Pyramid Temple Koh Ker and Beng Mealea

,

Let a local host show you around and experience this cultural attraction from a local perspective. We drive to Beng Mealea, a jungled temple with peaceful and green environment. Then, we visit The archaeological site of Koh Ker, UNESCO on September 17, 2023, a sacred urban ensemble of numerous temples and sanctuaries including sculptures, inscriptions, wall paintings, and archaeological remains. Constructed over a twenty-three-year period, it was one of two rival Khmer Empire capitals – the other being Angkor – and was the sole capital from 928 to 944 CE. Established by King Jayavarman IV, his sacred city was believed to be laid out on the basis of ancient Indian religious concepts of the universe. The new city demonstrated unconventional city planning, artistic expression and construction technology, especially the use of very large monolithic stone blocks. Back to Siem Reap.

Private Trekking Tour to The World Heritage Temples

A perfect tour for the active visitor! The Angkor Archaeological Park is a largely shaded forested area, so if you wish to combine your temple sightseeing with a healthy dose of walking, this tour is for you! You will be dropped off at Spean Neak bridge and start your walk to Angkor Wat Temple. Then, keep walking on the 8m high laterite wall to the East Gate (Death Gate). This short section of the wall has a clear worn path which is used by local traffic, occasionally you may meet people collecting wood and going on about their daily business. Through breaks in the forest canopy, you will be able to glance at the Angkor Thom moat below and on the other side the slope into the dense jungle. Back on level ground you will pass Prasat Pram Pi Lveng and continue to the Khleang temple group and the Preah Pithu Group, Tanei and Taprohm Temples. Although in plain sight and passed by many, these temples are rarely explored and thus well worth a short stop. You are almost guaranteed to have them to yourself!
