Tour Itinerary
Hotel Pickup & Angkor Pass
Begin your day with pickup from your hotel at 8:00 AM in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle. Your first stop will be the Angkor Ticket Office to purchase your Angkor Pass, which provides access to all the temples within the Angkor Archaeological Park.
Angkor Majestic Temples Complex
Begin at Angkor Wat, one of the Seven Wonders of the World and the largest religious monument on Earth. Admire its soaring towers, vast courtyards and the beautifully carved galleries that recount scenes from Hindu mythology and the rise of the Khmer Empire.
Continue into Angkor Thom, entering through the striking South Gate with its stone faces and statues of gods and demons. Explore the enigmatic Bayon Temple, with its 216 smiling faces, before moving on to Ta Prohm, the famous “Tomb Raider Temple,” where giant trees and thick roots twist dramatically around ancient stone.
After a local lunch break (at your own expense), travel about 45 minutes into the countryside to the quay near Kampong Phluk, one of the most authentic and lesser-touristed floating villages on Tonlé Sap Lake, a peaceful contrast to the grandeur of the temples.
Optional Canoe Ride and Sunset Experience
During the rainy season (roughly June to November), enjoy the optional experience of a canoe ride through the submerged mangrove forest (additional fee applies).
For those interested in extending their day, a sunset (optional) upgrade can be added to witness golden skies over Tonlé Sap Lake, a serene and unforgettable end to your journey.
Return to Siem Reap – Hotel
After your boat returns to shore, relax on the drive back to Siem Reap, where you’ll be dropped off at your hotel or preferred location by late afternoon or early evening.
