Itinerary

Day 4

Siem Reap – Angkor Temples tour (B)

  • Beat the crowd early morning by 7 am; visit the picturesque Ta Prohm that had nearly disappeared into the jungle and remains overgrown, an oddly haunting and exotic scene. The magnificent roots of a tree, pushing between the huge stone blocks of the temple in a sort of embrace, evoke feelings that you may remember forever. And continue to visit the intricately carved Khmer ruins at Angkor Wat - one of the world’s most impressive ruins.  The temple still owns fine Apsara carvings in Angkorian era art.
  • Lunch (own account)
  • Afternoon, explore the mysterious Royal city Angkor Thom & Bayon. Its 54-tower temple is an awesome sight. At first glance, it seems a shapeless mass of stone, but further scrutiny reveals a face, and then another and another one, until suddenly you are engulfed by the silent, heavy, enigmatic and silent gaze through half-closed eyes, staring out from a primitive and remote time. Further, visit the surroundings of the complex including the Baphuon, Elephant Terrace, Lepper King Terrace and Royal Place area.
Day 5

Village Walk and Floating Community Tour (B)

  • Morning transfer to a beautiful village in the countryside

Country information

  • Best time to travel to Cambodia
    Tourist season runs from November to March, but Cambodia is warm throughout the year and temperatures do not go below 20C. If you prefer lesser crowds, opt to travel between May to early October
  • Cambodia Culture and Greetings
    Cambodians are a mixture of Hinduism and Buddhism. The country’s golden age between the 9th and 14th Century is better known as the Khmer Empire era. During this time Cambodia achieved unparalleled achievements in the arts and architecture and Angkor Wat is your perfect example
    When you greet someone, press your hands together in front of your chest.
  • Drinks & Food
    The basic of any Cambodian meal is rice, served either sticky or jasmine rice grown in the many paddy fields.
    Noodle soup is very common, and you will find that French food is still readily available. Don’t be surprised to find a coffee and “baguette sandwich” snack option. Roadside street food stalls are fun to try but rather sticks to the busy stalls serving piping hot foods
  • Discover your environment
    Taxi hire is available in all major cities. They are not metered so fix the rate in advance. Tips will be appreciated by the driver. Not to be missed is a ride in a tuk-tuk.
  • Tipping
    Locals rarely tip, however, tourist like to add 10% which is appropriate especially in restaurants where no service charge is added to the bill  
  • Local interesting meals:
    Babor: Rice porridge with chicken broth
    Kralan: Sticky rice flavored with sugar, beans and grated coconut steamed inside a Bamboo pole
    Mee Katang: Cantonese styled wild rice cooked with meat and vegetables served with an oyster sauce
