Day 1

/ Discovery of Ancient Temples in the archaeological Park
We are going to pick up you at the lobby of hotel where you are stating in Siem Reap. Then, we depart for getting temple tickets. After that, we go straight to visit temples. 

Angkor Thum / Angkor Thom City
Rising eight meters high, the laterite wall measures 3x3km and guards many treasures inside, protected by a moat still flooded today. You will enter the ancient city through its South Gate. In the very centre lies the temple of Bayon – silent witnesses of time, the 216 enigmatic faces gaze over the horizon and one can only wonder what they have seen throughout the ages. Your guide will point out the best angles for photography here and give explanation of the many intricate carvings on the walls of the galleries. You will then continue to Baphuon with its long causeway and an impressive giant Reclining Buddha, a jigsaw puzzle only put back together in 2011 following a 37 year-long disruption caused by the war. Phimeanakas is hiding in the shaded jungle and offers a decent over-the-tree-tops view to those who conquer the steep steps to the top. Continuing along the Esplanade of the Royal Palace more commonly known as the Terrace of the Elephants you will wind up your exploration in the shaded area of the picturesque Preah Palilay.

Krong Siem Reap / Taprohm-Jungle Temple
Ta Prohm, gained its 21st Century fame from the movie Tomb Raider featuring Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft. Today, with Lara long gone, this temple is on the itinerary of most visitors and rightfully so. Many corners of Ta Prohm showcase an intricate relationship between the roots of Spung tree (Tetrameles Nudiflora) and ancient stones covered in moss. Truly a photographer's paradise, don't miss the opportunity to capture your own explorer's moments.

Siem Reap / Angkor Wat Temple
This is the perfect tour for those who are not keen to rise too early. By the time the sunrise watchers have left the scene you will arrive to appreciate the largest religious monument ever built – Angkor Wat. Astonishing in the morning or afternoon light you will be able to photograph the temple from across the lotus pond and then continue to explore the many levels and intricately carved galleries. Your dedicated and knowledgeable guide will provide all the necessary information to bring Angkor times back to life. This is another tick on your “bucket list” and an experience of a lifetime. 


Day 2

/ Siem Reap-Phnom Penh Departure
After breakfast, we depart for Phnom Penh, a capital City of Cambodia. 

Phnom Penh / Royal Palace Phnom Penh
After arrival in Phnom Penh, we explore the stunning Royal Palace complex, home to the Cambodian royal family and a symbol of the nation. We begin amid the beautiful royal gardens, landscaped with tropical plants and studded with gleaming spires. We enter the Throne Hall where the royal receptions are held and the Cambodian king's coronation took place. We then pass the Napoleon III Pavilion made from iron, a gift from the French emperor in the 19thcentury.We continue to the Silver Pagoda, named after the 5000 silver tiles covering the floor, each weighing 1kg. Inside are some of the country's most cherished treasures, including a life-size gold Buddha studded with 9584 diamonds, the largest weighing 25 carats. 


Day 3

/ Toul Sleng & Killing Field Tour
We will go to pick up you at the lobby of hotel and transfer to visit the emotional places.

រាជធានី​ភ្នំពេញ / S21 Toul Sleng Genocidal Museum
This morning, we come face to face with the horrific crimes of the Khmer Rouge. Tuol Sleng was a former high school that the Khmer Rouge turned into a centre for interrogation, torture and death. Today it is a museum of torture and serves to remind visitors of the terrible atrocities that came to pass in Cambodia. 17,000 people passed through the gates of this prison and only seven lived to tell the tale. 

Phnom Penh / Killing Field Cheung Ek Genocidal
We then travel out of town to the Killing Fields of ChoengEk. Prisoners from Tuol Sleng followed this same route to their fate. An old Chinese cemetery, Choeng Ek was turned into an extermination camp for political prisoners. The remains of 8985 people were exhumed from mass graves and are kept in a memorial stupa here. Despite the horrors of the past, it is a peaceful place to go and a tranquil spot to reflect on the tragic events that engulfed Cambodia and its people.
