Your day of past and present begins with an 8:30am pick up at your hotel. The first half of the day explores two highlight temples, Banteay Samre and Banteay Srei. Banteay Samre built under Suryavarman II and Yasovarman II in the early 12th century, it is a Hindu temple in the Angkor Wat style.
We follow Banteay Samre with Banteay Srei, one of Angkor’s most beautiful temples. Built largely of red sandstone, this gem of a temple boasts a pink color and some of the most exquisite depictions. When it’s time for a temple break, enjoy a traditional Khmer lunch before setting off for the rural countryside.
The afternoon is spent at Tonle Sap Lake to discover different aspects of life in a floating village. See fish farms, traditional medicine shops, floating schools, crocodile farms, and local shops. We explore by boat so you can feel what it’s like to be a part of the community.
