2-Day Adventure & Fishing Community

2- Days Angkor Complex & Explore at the countryside

The Angkor Complex is vast and contains hundreds of temples. It’s impossible to see them all in a month, much less in a day, but it is possible to see a few of the major temples. With an experienced tour guide, you’ll save time, avoid crowds, and get the most out of your visit by gaining a good understanding of the mythology, history, and architecture. These are private tours; you will not be grouped together with other people in buses.
Day 1: Tour (Inside Angkor Complex)
-In the morning: After breakfast at your hotel, you will visit the temples on the recommended one-day itinerary include most famous is Angkor Wat temple, which is the largest religious monument and one of seven wonders of the world! Angkor Wat was built during the reign of King Suryavarman II in the early 12th century. The temple is constructed following the model of the temple mountain symbolizing Mount Meru, the home of the gods.
After Angkor Wat we will continue to Angkor Thom the ancient capital in the 12th century. This massive complex includes the South Gate of Angkor Thom with its huge statues depicting the churning of the ocean of milk; Bayon Temple unique for its 54 towers decorated with 216 smiling faces of Bodhisattva Avolokitesvara the God of compassion; Baphuon (recently re-opened after years of restoration); Phimeanakas in the Royal Enclosure; the Elephants Terrace and the Terrace of the Leper King. Also Chau Say Tevoda and Thommanon temple.
Lunch time for your choice of local restaurants.
-In the afternoon: we’ll visit Ta Prohm, famous for being featured in the Tomb Raider Movie and one of the most beautiful temples in the area. Ta Prohm has been left relatively untouched since it was discovered and retains much of its mystery with massive trees taking root in and around the walls of the temple complex.
We’ll move on from there to Banteay Kdei Temple. Prasat Banteay Kdei means “A Citadel of Chambers” or “Citadel of Monk’s cells.” This is a Buddhist temple in Cambodia located southeast of Ta Prohm and east of Angkor Thom. Built in the mid 12th to early 13th centuries AD during the reign of Jayavarman VII (who was posthumously given the title “Maha paramasangata pada”), it is in the Bayon architectural style, similar in plan to Ta Prohm and Preah Khan, but less complex and smaller.
Afterward we’ll enjoy a spectacular sunset at Pre Rup temple far from the crowded spots with busloads of tourists.
The day could also include sunrise, which costs extra ( $20 for Tour guide and Transportation).
Over night at the Hotel

Day 2 : Adventure & Fishing community

-In the morning: After breakfast, ride to see the fishing community of Kampong Khleang, and is not yet very ‘touristy’. It is a very interesting place for any visitor in Siem Reap province.
From the village on the river banks, we’ll make our way to the floating village on Tonle Sap lake where visitors will see the fishing men and their families living on each side of the river. These 1927 families earn a living through fish, and you’ll watch them as they make smoked fish, dry fish, fish paste, or fish sauce.
More than half of the protein eaten in Cambodia comes from the fish of the Tonle Sap. A boat ride along the famous Tonlé Sap Lake which is South East Asia’s 4th largest lake.
Lunch in local restaurant near by temple.
– In the afternoon: we’ll visit Beng Mealea Temple around 70km from Siem Reap. Enjoy a short walk through the dense jungle and feel like an explorer when you discover the completely overgrown temple.
Undiscovered for centuries, Beng Mealea temple has only recently been made accessible and remains unrestored. It is one of the very few temples you’ll have the opportunity to climb through.
On the way back to the town you can visit temples like Roluos Group, Hariharalaya (the capital in the 9th century), Preah Ko, Bakong and Lolei.
Over night in your hotel.
