Overview

Journey beyond the main Angkor complex on a private full-day tour to the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Sambor Prei Kuk and the authentic stilted village of Kompong Khleang. Ideal for history enthusiasts seeking a unique perspective, this off-the-beaten-path day trip combines 7th-century pre-Angkorian architecture with an immersive look into rural life on Tonle Sap Lake.
Guided by an expert local host, you’ll explore the ancient capital of the Chenla Kingdom, where over 100 brick temple ruins sit shrouded in semi-cleared jungle. Admire early Khmer art including the famous lion carvings of Prasat Tao and tree-wrapped sanctuaries of Prasat Yeay Peau. Afterward, travel to Kompong Khleang, one of the largest stilted communities on the lake, to witness towering wooden homes and traditional fishing culture. Enjoy private air-conditioned vehicle transfers, seamless hotel pickup, and flexible pacing tailored to your group.

What to expect

  1. Sambor Prei Kuk
    3h · Admission ticket not included
    Following an early hotel pickup in Siem Reap, travel through the countryside to Sambor Prei Kuk, the 7th-century capital of the Chenla Kingdom founded by King Isanavarman I. Explore three main temple groups scattered throughout the tranquil forest. Marvel at early Khmer brick architecture, including the intricate lion carvings of Prasat Tao and the mossy, tree-wrapped walls of Prasat Yeay Peau. Pauses along the route include a brief view of the historic Kampong Kdei ancient bridge.
  2. Kompong Khleang
    2h · Admission ticket not included
    Continue to Kompong Khleang, located on the northern shore of Tonle Sap Lake. Walk or cruise through this permanent fishing community to observe its remarkable adaptation to seasonal water levels—featuring soaring 10-meter-high stilted houses in the dry season and floating structures during the monsoon. Gain rare cultural insights into daily life on Southeast Asia's largest freshwater lake before a comfortable private drive back to Siem Reap for hotel drop-off.
