Join a full-day tour and discover the main temples of the Angkor Complex and the floating village of Chong Kneas.
Begin your tour from the Bayon, a richly decorated temple with hundreds of smiling faces gracing the towers. Impressive bas-reliefs tell stories of daily life and of the great battles that were fought between the Khmers and ancient Thais. Then, continue to Ta Prohm, one of Cambodia’s most beloved temples. Observe the combination of large trees growing out of the ruins and the surrounding jungle giving the temple a truly magical feel.
End your morning exploring magnificent Angkor Wat, the world’s largest religious monument and best-preserved temple in the complex. This visually spectacular massive three-tired pyramid has become a symbol of Cambodia, appearing on its flag. Admire the grandeur of its architecture and its extensive decoration of bas-relief friezes.
After lunch, head to Tonle Sap Lake, the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia and the lifeblood of Cambodia, as three million people depend on it for their food and livelihood. Each year, millions of fish come to spawn in the seasonally flooded forest surrounding the lake, attracting a myriad of water birds. Take a boat tour and see the floating villages. See first-hand what life is like on the water. Explore the floating market, the local fishery, and the crocodile farm.
