Explore the wonderful wonders of Angkor with a new group of friends!

Begin the day at the gigantic Angkor Thom complex, where you can see the distinctive faces of Bayon Temple and the jungle-covered ruins of Ta Prohm (the iconic Tomb Raider Temple). Take a break and enjoy Cambodian food at a local restaurant in the Angkor Complex, but you have to pay yourself.

First, you’ll visit the magnificent Angkor Wat, then proceed to Phnom Bakheng, from which you can witness a lovely sunset in the sky. As only 300 people are allowed at the top, we provide you with ample time to take in the views. At night, we’ll head back to town and ensure that we drop you off comfortably at your hotel.

Start the day by visiting the busy Rulous Market, where vendors trade fresh fruits and vegetables as well as handicraft items. This market gives you an authentic insight into Cambodian life. Next, visit a peaceful pagoda to gain insight into the important religious customs that influence the life and religion of the people.

Continue on your journey to the incredible floating villages, where stilt houses rise above the water, and life bridges schools, farms, and floating hospitals. Observe from your boat how resilient the villagers are as they navigate a world composed of water, overcoming challenges with determined smiles.
