2. Day 2- Explore the Main Temples of Angkor Complex

   • Have breakfast at 08:30 am, and you will head out with your guide to Angkor Thom, the ancient capital of the Khmer empire.

3. Day 3- See the Reclining Buddha at the Phnom Kulen Mountain

   • Immerse yourself in the history of the Khmer Empire on a full-day tour from Siem Reap to the sacred mountain of Phnom Kulen. Upon arrival, you will go to the hilltop site to see the largest reclining Buddha in Cambodia, dedicated to the proclamation of independence by King Jayavarman II in 802 AD. Navigate the rugged roads to see the intricate fertility carvings that are a legacy of the God-Kings who ruled Cambodia in the 9th century. Have lunch at a local restaurant.
   • Stop at a local village on the way back to learn how sugar is produced from the sugar palm plant. For the countryside tour, proceed to the Southwest of the town to see a remote village. 
   • Enjoy the countryside scenery, including villages, traditional houses, green rice fields, the people, their culture and the wonderful smile of the children here.
   • Head back to the hotel.

4. Day 4- Visit Tonle Sap Lake and Kompung Phluk Area

   • Enjoy a combined full-day tour of Tonle Sap Lake and the Kompong Phluk area, which is 30 kilometres southeast of Siem Reap. 
   • Visit the pagoda or local market first, then go by motorized boat on a tour of the stilted buildings. See where the people have courageously adapted to some of the most unimaginable conditions, all with big smiles on their faces. Enjoy the beautiful atmosphere in this one-of-a-kind village from the comfort of the boats.

It is the place to shop for souvenirs and discounted name-brand clothing. We can’t vouch for the authenticity of everything, but along with plenty of knock-offs, you will find genuine articles stitched in local factories.  

7. Day 7- Departure
