2-Day Angkor Wat & Tonle Sap Tour

Overview

Day by day itinerary

1. 1All about Angkor⌄

   After organising tickets for Angkor Park, we visit Angkor Thom first and head for Bayon temple with its many stone faces.

   Baphoun temple is nearby Bayon, so we have a quick stop and have a look.

   Moving on a little further, we stop to see the Terrace of the Elephants and the Terrace of the Leper King, both also within the Angkor Thom area.

   Leaving Angkor Phrom to the East, we drop by Ta Phrom temple, famous for the ancient trees that strangle the temple buildings with their massive roots. This temple was featured in the Tomb Raider movie starring Angelia Jolie.

   After a break for lunch at a nearby restaurant, we continue to the main attraction, Angkor Wat.

   Finally, we head off to Phnom Bakheng where we probably mix with a large crowd at the top of this ancient temple. We have to go there a bit early and wait due to a restriction on numbers at the summit.

2. 2Sunrise, Banteay Srei & Kpg Pluk⌄

   We start very early! We leave your hotel at 5:00am or earlier and head straight for Angkor Wat. Waiting with the early risers, we see the sun rise over Angkor Wat, a wonderful and beautiful sight if the weather is kind.

   From Angkor Wat, we return to your hotel so you can enjoy your inclusive breakfast (assuming its included) in your room rate. We can stop at a restaurant if you prefer.

   After breakfast, we head for Prep Rup temple and stop for a visit. Then further on we stop at Banteay Samre temple plus a stop for a short while to see palm sugar manufacture or to visit the landmine museum if guests are interested.

   We then proceed further on a long drive to see the pink ladies Temple of Banteay Srei.

   After lunch, we continue to the edges of Tonle Sap in the Kompong Pluk area and we cruise around the village on motorized boat and see the houses of the water villages on stilts. Along the way, we stop at the pagoda on the island and later a floating cafe.
