Itinerary
Day 1: Siem Reap Sightseeing
Once you arrive in Siem Reap and have checked into your hotel, you'll head out on a tour of the area. First, you'll visit the Angkor National Museum, which is dedicated to the collection, preservation and presentation of Angkorian artefacts and also provides useful information and an in-depth education on the art and culture of Khmer civilisation, dating from the 9th to the 14th century. Afterwards, you'll visit the iconic Angkor Night Market and explore the area before dinner.
Day 2: Temple Discovery- Angkor Wat, Tomb Raider temple
Today, you'll venture into the magical and ancient site of Angkor. Beginning in the grand city of Angkor Thom, you'll visit the famous Bayon Temple, the Terrace of Elephants and the Terrace of the Leper King. After lunch in a local restaurant, you'll visit the most mighty of all the temples, Angkor Wat, before carrying on to visit the Tomb Raider temple as its commonly known, Ta Prohm, and more temples if time permits. Dinner will be in a popular traditional restaurant in the evening.
Day 3: Banteay Srei & Rolous Group
Banteay Srei is a 10th-century Khmer temple dedicated to the Hindu God, Shiva. This temple, of which the name means 'Citadel of the Women', is particularly unique to the other temples in Angkor due to being constructed of pink sandstone and for being unusually small in size by Angkorian standards. In the afternoon, you visit a less well-known temple called Chau Srei Viobol, which was never restored since deteriorating. Afterwards, you'll visit the Rolous Group Temples.
Day 4: Sambo Prei Kuk & Kampong Thom
Today, you'll head out of Siem Reap to visit Sambor Prei Kuk, Cambodia’s most impressive group of pre-Angkorian monuments. This exciting journey sets off from your hotel in the early morning heading east to the central national town of Kampong Thom. Sambor Prei Kuk, whilst largely unrestored, is a huge complex of nearly 140 temples scattered throughout a large forest. The whole area is strange mystical as the trees and plants over time have grown into and wound themselves around the temples.
Day 5: Cambodian Cooking Class & Floating Village
Today, you'll learn the secrets of authentic Cambodian cuisine with local chefs in this half-day cooking class. Don’t just take home memories of great Khmer cuisine, return home able to cook Cambodian classics after the Champney cooking class. After selecting fresh ingredients from the central market, you’ll master the basics of a few traditional dishes whilst learning about the Khmer culture. Afterwards, you'll visit the unique floating village to gain an insight into daily life here.
Day 6: Lotus Farm & Angkor Zipline
The Lotus Farm is a unique fair-trade eco-textile workshop aimed at benefitting the lives of the women in the poor communities in Siem Reap. You'll learn about the whole process of fabrication, from the extraction of the fibres in the stem of the lotus to the weaving of the fabric. After a traditional Khmer lunch, you'll head off for an adventure in the treetops of the Angkor jungle. Angkor Zipline is the only zipline inside the UNESCO World Heritage Site and will provide an awesome adventure.
Day 7: Fly Over Angkor Wat & Visit Artisans Angkor
If you choose to opt-in, this scenic flight will show you the enormous scale of the world-famous UNESCO World Heritage Site of Angkor Wat. You'll fly alongside the magnificent Angkor Wat temple and appreciate the spectacular expanse the grand moat encloses. After lunch, you'll visit Artisans D'Angkor, an arts and craft school which was established in 1992 in order to support young people and to help them find work in their local villages by continuing the practice of traditional arts.
Day 8: Free Morning in Siem Reap & Departure
Siem Reap is the gateway to the ruins of Angkor, the seat of the Khmer kingdom from the 9th–15th centuries, but there is also a lot more to see in this town. You may want to visit a local market, artisan or local gallery before you are taken to the airport ready for your onward flight.
