Angkor Explorer

Welcome to Cambodia! Upon landing in Siem Reap, your private guide and driver will greet you at the airport and escort you to your hotel. Take time to settle in and refresh — your journey is just beginning.
In the late afternoon, hop on a tuk-tuk for a scenic ride through Siem Reap’s local neighborhoods, a soft introduction to everyday Cambodian life. Then, you’ll be welcomed at a peaceful pagoda where Buddhist monks will perform a blessing ceremony — wishing you happiness, health, and protection throughout your travels.
End the day with a traditional Khmer dinner paired with an elegant Apsara dance show — Cambodia’s classical performance art that tells ancient stories through movement and music.

Rise early to witness the first rays of sunlight spill over the towers of Angkor Wat — a moment that’s truly unforgettable. After returning to your hotel for breakfast, the temple adventure continues.
Explore the majestic Angkor Wat in full daylight, where every gallery and bas-relief whispers tales of kings, gods, and celestial battles. Then move on to Angkor Thom, the last capital of the Khmer Empire. Walk across the causeway at the South Gate, then marvel at the mysterious smiles of Bayon Temple.
Continue to explore the Royal Enclosure, the Terrace of the Elephants, and the Terrace of the Leper King. End your day wandering through the hauntingly beautiful Ta Prohm, where massive tree roots embrace the ruins like nature reclaiming time.
As the sun dips, head to Pre Rup or Phnom Bakheng for a serene sunset moment overlooking the Cambodian countryside.

This morning, venture out to one of the most beloved temples of Angkor — Banteay Srei, often called the “Citadel of Women.” Known for its pink sandstone and exquisite carvings, this compact temple is a masterpiece of detail.
Along the way, stop at Preah Dak village, where you’ll get a glimpse of rural life and perhaps even try your hand at traditional rice noodle making.
In the afternoon, head to the Roluos Group — a set of 9th-century temples that mark the beginning of Angkorian architecture. Explore Bakong, Preah Ko, and Lolei, set amid rice fields and village landscapes, offering a quiet contrast to the grandeur of the main Angkor complex.

Lace up your walking shoes today — you’re headed deep into the jungle. Begin with a moderate uphill trek (about 45 minutes) through shaded forest trails to Kbal Spean, also known as the “River of a Thousand Lingas.” Along the riverbed, discover ancient carvings of Hindu deities and sacred symbols — all etched into stone and softly flowing with the water.
After your hike, return to civilization with a visit to Banteay Samre, a lesser-known but beautifully preserved temple with intricate reliefs and tranquil grounds.
Return to your hotel in the late afternoon, with free time to rest or explore town at your own pace.

This morning, journey to the Tonle Sap Lake, Southeast Asia’s largest freshwater lake and a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Board a boat and cruise through a floating village — where schools, homes, and markets rise and fall with the lake’s seasonal rhythm. It’s a moving insight into the resilience of Cambodia’s water-based communities.
On the way back, stop at Artisans Angkor, a social enterprise that trains young Cambodians in traditional crafts. Watch artisans at work and browse intricate wood carvings, silk weavings, and lacquerware — a perfect spot for meaningful souvenirs.
Enjoy your final evening in Siem Reap at leisure. Perhaps treat yourself to a sunset cocktail or local street food dinner.

After breakfast, enjoy a slow morning — take a stroll through town, sip one last iced Khmer coffee, or pick up a few last-minute gifts.
When it’s time, your guide and driver will transfer you to the airport for your onward flight. You’ll leave Cambodia with memories of jungle temples, sacred rivers, and the warm smiles that greeted you at every turn.
