Highlights

If the epic temples give an insight into Cambodia’s grand past, then the paddy fields, rivers, coastline and stilt villages give a wonderful glimpse of its present. Pepper plantations, ox carts, open markets and colourful Khmer people are all part of the joy of travelling in this little-traversed country, and those simply flying in and out or tour bussing to Siem Reap will miss the most sparkling of Cambodia’s highlights. The country is not huge, so overland travel is entirely feasible – or take a boat for a different point of view. Do keep an eye on the safety situation before heading to border regions; frequent skirmishes can make them out of bounds to travellers.

Detailed Day Wise Itinerary

DAY 01 : ARRIVAL - SIEM REAP

Afternoon, transfer to visit to the unique interior brick sculptures of Prasat Kravan, Srah Srang ("The Royal Baths" was once used or ritual bathing), Banteay Kdei (surrounded by 4 concentric walls), Ta Prohm, one of the area’s most beautiful temples. Ta Prohm has been relatively untouched since it was discovered and retains much of its mystery. Neak Pean, a fountain built in the middle of a pool (representing the paradisiacal

Himalayan mountain-lake) and Preah Khan temple, Built by the King Jayavarman VII. Preah Khan is, like Ta Prohm, a place of towered enclosures and shoulder hugging corridors. Unlike Ta Prohm, however, the temple of Preah Khan is in a reasonable state of preservation and ongoing restoration efforts should maintain and even improve this situation.
