Private Angkor Discovery Trip

Detailed Trip Description

Our private trips have been carefully designed to offer a range of different experiences within a limited amount of time. Ranging from four to eight days, these itineraries are suitable for anyone with a reasonable degree of fitness, including families with older children. Nature lovers and trekkers are spoiled for choice in this region. At certain times of year the plumage of the areas’ many feathered visitors will provide a riot of color. As a social enterprise we have good relations with the local voluntary organizations and can provide an insight or a more in-depth view into current issues, education and social welfare. Keen photographers will have hundreds, possibly thousands, of photo opportunities throughout the region: historic temples, crumbling colonial architecture, landscapes, nature, details and the constant warm smile of the local people. A classic introduction to the temples and visit Siem Reap, home to one of the world’s most impressive architectural wonder, the Angkor Wat Complex, comprised of Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom, Bayon, Banteay Srei, Banteay Kdei, Ta Prohm and countless other structures that spectacle the peak of the Angkor Empire.

Sightseeing

Travel by private car or bus to some of the main temples of Angkor – including Angkor Thom, site of the famous heads of the Bayon, Ta Phrom, still largely claimed by the jungle, and Angkor Wat itself. Accompanied by an English–speaking local guide, learn about the historical evolution of the Khmer kingdom and the building of the temples. Sufficient time is allowed at each site for you to explore at your own pace, take photographs, or just stare in wonder – plus a long break for lunch to shelter from the heat of the midday sun! At just before sunset, climb to the top of Angkor Wat (if you dare!) for a sight not to be missed.

Hotel

Return to the hotel by early evening.


Day 2 - Siem Reap

 
Visit Angkor Complex and Tonle Sap Lake.
Sightseeing

Early morning, take a boat trip to the floating village on the giant Tonle Sap Lake. In the afternoon, visit further temples within the Angkor complex, including Banteay Srei, with amazingly intricate detail carved in red sandstone. Again, the day is unhurried, giving you time of your own and avoiding the pressurised rush of typical guided tours.
