Siem Reap (Angkor Wat) and Phnom Penh

This comprehensive Cambodia tour begins with three days exploring the sites at Angkor -- the ruins of the ancient Khmer empire.

Siem Reap

  • Experience impressive Angkor Wat, an enormous "temple city" that incorporates Hindu mythology and cosmology.

  • Visit Angkor Thom -- the Buddhist "Great City" that is believed to have once housed a population of over one million people. Inside, experience the extraordinary Bayon, Terraces of the Elephants, and the Leper King.

  • Discover Ta Prohm, set in dense jungle, and the serenely beautiful Preah Khan, originally a monastery and teaching center.

  • Spend a morning driving through the countryside past local villages to Banteay Srei, an enchanting temple known as the "citadel of the women," named after its intricate carvings and pinkish sandstone.

  • Cruise Lake Tonle Sap, known for its "floating" villages, before flying to the capital city of Phnom Penh.
Phnom Penh
  • Tour the Royal Palace and the Silver Pagoda; these gilded halls house a Baccarat crystal Buddha and another of gold and diamonds.

  • Visit the National Museum to view ancient Cambodian artifacts, and visit local markets.

  • Experience Phnom Penh's thriving cafe culture, and perhaps have a drink at the Foreign Correspondents Cub -- a Phnom Penh institution.
