DAY 1: ARRIVE SIEM REAP (OWN TICKETS)
Siem Reap is a pleasant, sleepy backwater serving as a gateway to the ancient capital of Angkor. It is difficult to believe that at its peak in the 12th century, this was one of the most advanced civilizations in the world and home to more than 1 million inhabitants.
Upon arrival inside the arrival terminal, look for our Representative who will be holding the signboard with your names on it. Our Representative will collect your passport and one passport photo for the visa before leading you to the baggage claim where you can pick up your luggage while waiting a bit to get your passport back after it is stamped. Then, our representative will accompany you to meet your local guide, who is waiting outside the arrival terminal. You will then be transferred to your hotel downtown. Your guide will brief an orientation of the city along the way. Check into your hotel on arrival and the remainder of the day is free at leisure. Early check in is subject to availability and check in time: 14:00hrs. Enjoy dinner at your hotel.
Set in a lush garden enclosure, Amansara glows with the nuances of its sixties conception; commissioned by Norodum Sihanouk in 1962, it is, today, a peaceful contemporary and warm sanctuary, a mere remork and driver ride from an ancient civilization gripped in the roots of the jungle and in the minds of those it touches, Angkor. The 12th century capital, the culmination of five centuries of Khmer civilization, is living testimony to Cambodia’s ancestry as well as the foundation of their deeply philosophical identity; housing over 100 stone temples it reveals a religious kingdom of the most significant remaining Khmer architecture in the world.

DAY 2: SIEM REAP
If you’re an early riser consider catching sunrise over Angkor Wat temple. It is certainly one of the most unique places in the world for sunrise but be forewarned, you won’t be alone! Drive back to your hotel for breakfast.
After breakfast, return to visit the intricately carved Khmer ruins at Angkor Wat – one of the modern wonders and most important religious monuments in the world, with a renowned Khmer scholar. He will be able to share his vast experience and give you a concise overview of Khmer history, culture, archaeology and civilization. He has been working with the Angkor Temple Conservation Institution for many years and has a detailed knowledge of the temple’s history as well as how they will be preserved in the decades to come. Take a stroll through the elaborate carved hallways of Angkor Wat as the Khmer empire is brought to life through the scholar’s explanations of the various stories contained in each of the bas reliefs and murals.
Enjoy a private gourmet picnic lunch in a wonderful setting on the grounds of the temples of Angkor. At lunch time, a sturdy and comfortable picnic table is set up just for your group. Lunch is served while you admire the backdrop of magnificent Khmer temples, pagodas or the view of lush paddy fields.

Your exploration continues with a visit to Ta Prohm. This beautiful temple is overgrown with fig trees, giving a haunting yet exotic atmosphere. The magnificent roots of the trees have merged over the centuries with the temple’s huge stone blocks, emphasizing a ‘forgotten city’ feeling. Then drive to Angkor Thom, the ancient royal city of Khmer Empire. Visit the Terrace of the Elephants, which served as a platform from where the King could welcome back his victorious army and the Terrace of the Leper King, which holds detailed carvings winding along a narrow passage way that leads to the Baphuon complex. You will end the day with a visit to the Ancient Royal City’s centre piece; the Bayon temple. As you approach, you will notice the enigmatic faces of former King Jayavarman VII looking into every direction. Late afternoon is a perfect time to visit this highlight as crowds flock to Angkor Wat for sunset, leaving the Bayon standing majestically in the beautiful late afternoon sunlight to explore without the crowds. Return to your hotel for a well-deserved rest. Dinner is at your hotel.
Before dinner, you can schedule a relaxing 45 minute foot massage in the hotel reception after the day's activities and ready yourself for more adventure! Please ask hotel reception about the time availabilities for your foot massage.

DAY 3: SIEM REAP
Start the day early with a transfer to Prasat Kravan. This small and simple, yet well preserved temple was built in the 10th century. After visiting the temple exit the compound at the back over small paths that lead to small villages. Wander around the village and observe the very local and primitive lifestyle of the people. Walk over village paths towards Prasat Batchum and meet the Remork (Cambodian tuktuk) for a short transfer to Batchum. Continue to walk a small path that links the temple with Sras Srang. The small villages and typical local village life that can be observed represent Cambodia at its best. Upon arrival at Sras Srang, refreshments and canape’s are served overlooking the artificial lake. Continue to walk to the main entrance of Banteay Kdei, one of Angkor’s largest temples. Explore the temple in full before exiting it at the back entrance. Your vehicle awaits here and continues to East Mebon on the Grand Circuit. Explore the magnificent East Mebon, which used to be an artificial island in the now dried up Eastern Baray. Continue by vehicle to Kraol Ko, a small and seemingly insignificant temple that caters excellently to the décor of a delicious picnic lunch.
After lunch, explore Neak Poan, which is also an artificial island and unlike any other temple in the Angkor area. Walk the boardwalk back to the vehicle and visit

Preah Khan. This jewel is often neglected but worth a full exploration. Beautiful overgrown vegetation makes the ruin look like a copy of Ta Prohm. Exit the temple on the east side where a bicycle awaits. An adventurous yet convenient path connects Preah Kahn with The Victory Gate. Just in time of sunset, walk over the Eastern wall towards the East Gate. Once arrived, delicious cold drinks and local snacks await. Enjoy the last moments of the day in utter peace while the sun sets over the jungle of Angkor. Transfer back to your hotel by private vehicle and Dinner is at hotel.
