Overnight with breakfast in Siem Reap, Cambodia
After a replenishing breakfast, your exciting day begins! Today, learn about the famous Angkor temples. The southern entrance welcomes you with its 54 demon and godheads positioned on a 100-meter-long bridge.
Nearby is the Bayon Temple, which impresses with 54 towers representing the Khmer Empire’s provinces. Each tower has four faces that align with the four cardinal points.
At Phimeanakas, the pyramid-shaped temple has two water basins used for religious rituals; today, they are as children swimming pools. From the top of the temple, you can soak in impressive views of the Angkor complex. You can see the elephants’ terrace to the south, and to the north, you can see the leprosy king.
Finally, you will visit the most popular of all temples: Ta Phrom. Overgrown by strangler fig roots, the temple served as a film set for the adventure film Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and achieved worldwide fame through the beautiful movie shots.
Overnight with breakfast in Siem Reap, Cambodia
In the early morning, drive to the Tonle Sap Lake’s floating village Kompong Khleang. It’s far away from mass tourism and is home to the isolated Khmer community on wooden stilts. Hop in a boat and cross the mangrove forests: a unique ecosystem that survives for months on flooded ground and is home to an array of bird species. Also, keep your eyes peeled for macaques, a monkey species that eat crabs in the mangroves.
Back in Kompong Khleang, you will have a picnic with a local family. Then drive back to Siem Reap by car to finalize your last hours in the city of temples. Depending on departure time, you will be brought back to the airport for your onward journey.
