Days 2-3
Angkor Wat
Spend two full days exploring the majestic temples of Angkor, the largest religious structure in the world. This sprawling ancient site, centred around the towering Angkor Wat, extends deep into the jungle. Some temples have been meticulously restored, while others remain entwined with the elements, creating a dramatic and atmospheric scene.
With private guided tours on both days, you have the flexibility to set your own agenda. Start your day early with a sunrise visit to Angkor Wat, then return to your hotel for a restful siesta. Later, head back in the afternoon to appreciate the temples during the magical golden hour.
Discover Ta Prohm, where the jungle has spectacularly claimed the temples, and marvel at the intricate carvings of Bayon. The avenue of statues at Angkor Thom provides a fantastic photo opportunity.
In addition to the temples, you have time to explore the local region. Visit Tonlé Sap Lake and the fishing village of Kampong Phluk to experience rural life in Cambodia. -
Days 4-5
Phnom Penh
Travel across the centre of Cambodia to Phnom Penh, the fast-growing capital on the banks of the Mekong River. Stay at the French colonial-style Palace Gate Hotel, a tranquil oasis in the heart of the city, close to the riverfront. This area is perfect for walking and watching the world go by.
Enjoy a private city tour that includes the Central Market and the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum, a sobering but essential reminder of the horrors of the Khmer Rouge regime.
