residence of King Norodom Sihamoni, with its stunning Silver Pagoda. A short walk away is the
National Museum, which contains a comprehensive collection of Khmer art. Do not miss Phnom
Penh's Central Market, a labyrinth of stalls selling everything from DVDs to silk, crafts, jewelry and
daily household items. In the afternoon (by vehicle), visit the Toul Sleng Museum. Formerly a high
school it became the most infamous interrogation and torture facility for the Khmer Rouge regime.
Overnight in Luxcity Hotel & Apartment (or similar)
In the morning, enjoy an overland transfer from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap. Along the way, we will
make stops at the infamous spider and insect market in Skun, as well as the stone mason village near
Santuk. Before reaching Siem Reap city, visit the floating village of Kampong Phluk. This isolated
community consists of three villages built on stilts, providing a unique and scenic experience. The
villages are flooded for approximately half of the year (August/September – February), allowing for
visits by local boats and contributing to the local community’s income. If the water level of the lake
permits, we will take a small rowing boat through the flooded mangrove forests. This exceptional
ecosystem thrives in the wet soil for half of the year, supporting a diverse range of wildlife. Afterwards,
return by boat and continue the journey by vehicle to Siem Reap, where you will check in at your
hotel.
Overnight in Angkor Paradise Hotel (or similar)
Today we start at pre-dawn to witness the breathtaking sunrise over Angkor Wat. After sunrise visit
the bas-relief and central complex of Angkor in the quiet early morning. Breakfast is served at a local
restaurant near the temple complex. Continue to the Southern Gate of Angkor Thom ‘Great City’. This
will include many of the finest Temples of King Jayavarman VII, who ruled from 1181 to 1220. Marvel
at the imposing 23m (75-foot) high stone faces of Avalokiteshvara, featured in the Tomb Raider
movie. At the center of this citadel lies the state temple of Bayon, built at the end of the 12th century
and adorned with hundreds of gigantic stone faces. The tour also includes the Terrace of Elephants,
the Terrace of the Leper King. Later in the day you will discover the most famous temples from the
11th century: Baphuon, Phimeanakas. Continue the day by visiting Ta Prohm, known for the massive
trees with thick roots that entangle the walls. Return to Siem Reap.
Overnight in Angkor Paradise Hotel (or similar)
Start your day with a visit to the local market at Damdek before continuing your journey to Beng
Mealea temple. Beng Mealea is built from perfectly-squared sandstone blocks, still partly buried under
vegetation. The temple’s outstanding decoration dates back to the first half of the 12th century,
featuring pediments sculpted with narrative scenes from the Ramayana. While Hindu iconographic
themes are prevalent, Beng Mealea is primarily a Buddhist sanctuary, similar to Banteay Samre.
Confirming this is the magnificent statue of the Bodhisattva Lokeshvara discovered within the
monument, now housed at the Angkor Conservancy. Enjoy some lunch at a local restaurant before
continuing to Banteay Srei temple. Stop and visit the Landmine Museum, established in 1997. See
defused and safe landmines up close, learn about their workings and how you can contribute to the
ongoing efforts of clearing these weapons worldwide. On the return journey, visit a local village to see
the local sugar palm production. In the evening enjoy a sumptuous Khmer Farewell Dinner in a
beautiful local restaurant
