What to expect
Day 1: Arrival transfer to the hotel – Siem Reap
Siem Reap
Pass by
Arrive at Siem Reap International Airport and transfer to the hotel (rooms may not be ready until the
afternoon).
Drive to the countryside and take an ox-cart ride through the villages and the rice fields. At the end of
your ride, have a fresh coconut drink with the family and do not hesitate to talk with the local people to
get to know more about their lives. Then take an excursion in a traditional wooden boat on the Tonle
Sap Lake, the “Great Lake” of Cambodia, one of the largest in Asia and visit a floating village. The village

Day 2: Siem Reap
Siem Reap
5h
Breakfast at hotel.
In the morning, visit the South Gate (with its huge statues depicting the churning of the ocean of milk),
the ancient capital of Angkor Thom (12th century), Bayon temple (unique for its 54 towers decorated with
over 200 smiling faces of Avolokitesvara), Baphuon (recently re-opened after years of restoration), the
Royal Enclosure, Phimeanakas, the Elephants Terrace and the Terrace of the Leper King. Then
end your morning visit to visit Ta Prohm, one of the area’s most beautiful temples, Ta Prohm has been
relatively untouched since it was discovered and retains much of its mystery. Its appeal lies in the fact that,
unlike the other monuments of Angkor, it was abandoned and swallowed by the jungle, looking very much
the ways most of the Angkor temples appeared when European explorers first stumbled
Angkor Wat
Pass by
Afternoon, visit the most famous of all the temples on the plain of Angkor: Angkor Wat. The temple
complex covers 81 hectares and is comparable in size to the Imperial Palace in Beijing. Its distinctive five
towers are emblazoned on the Cambodian flag and the 12th century masterpiece is considered by art
historians to be the prime example of classical Khmer art and architecture. Angkor Wat’s five towers
symbolize Meru’s five peaks - the enclosed wall represents the mountains at the edge of the world and the
surrounding moat, the ocean beyond. Sunset at Angkor Wat.

Breakfast at hotel
Kulen Mountain Range: Morning, drive through the typical Khmer countryside to the holy Kulen
Mountain range which provided some of the stones used to build the Angkor temples. With beautiful
sceneries to admire on the way up, our vehicle will bring us on a steep dirt road to the top of the mountain.
There we first will see the site of the Lingas carved in the riverbed by successive kings of the Angkor
period and a walk further will bring us to the site of a huge natural rock with on top a big reclining
Buddha carved in the rock. Our walk will also bring us to a waterfall, don’t forget your swimsuits and
join the locals! More carvings in the riverbed can be discovered above the waterfall. This is also a very
popular place for Khmer people to come and enjoy their weekend with a picnic.
