Chum Reap Suor and welcome to the Kingdom of Wonder, Cambodia. Upon arrival to Siem Reap Airport, our representative will greet you and transfer you to your beautiful boutique hotel in the city.

Day 2 : Bask in the magnificence of Angkor Wat

Meet Cambodia’s epic past with a tour of the Angkor Archaeological Park. One of the most important historical sites in the entire region of Southeast Asia, the City of Temples will surely amaze and astound even the most experienced traveller.

Built between the 9th-15th centuries, each complex was at one point the capital of the Khmer empire. Your tour will begin with sunrise at Angkor Wat, the masterpiece of Angkor Park, often considered one of the best preserved ancient monuments in the world. Carry on by bicycle to Angkor Thom, famous for its carved faces pointing out in either direction on top of massive 75 ft. (23 m) towers. Within is the mysterious Bayon Temple, the Mona Lisa of Southeast Asia, located at the exact center of Angkor Thom, with a total of 216 carved faces.

Stops will also include the Elephant Terrace, the Leper Terrace, before moving on to the popular Ta Prohm, recognizable from the film Tomb Raider.

Return to the magnificent Angkor Wat. In the afternoon sun, it seems as if the entire complex is sparkling. Depart from the park in the early afternoon or stay to see the beautiful sunset and return to your hotel in the early evening.

Meals: Breakfast

Accommodation: Lynnaya Urban River Resort & Spa

Day 3 : Fly through the jungles at Angkor Zipline and Kayak on Tonle Sap

Spend your morning flying through the jungles of Cambodia at the Angkor Zipline. With 9 single and 1 double zipline, 3 suspended sky bridges, and 1 “Spiderman” bridge, this is the perfect way to get your blood pumping in the morning.

In the afternoon, discover floating villages of the Tonle Sap Lake by kayaking through semi-submerged trees and wooden houses built atop huge stilts, returning to Siem Reap in the late afternoon.

Meals: Breakfast

Accommodation: Lynnaya Urban River Resort & Spa

Day 4 : Voyage to Sambor Prei Kuk

Depart from Siem Reap this morning by car and voyage east to the archaeological site of Sambor Prei Kuk, the temple in the richness of the forest. With over 100 temples predating Angkor Wat by 400 years within the complex, it’s easy to see how the Angkor temples in Siem Reap were influenced by the beautiful and carefully crafted motifs on display here.

After the visit finishes, complete the journey from Siem Reap with a 45-minute ride to Kampong Thom. Check-in to the boutique Sambor Village and relax by the swimming pool overlooking the quiet Steung Sèn River.

Drive through the lush green scenery, fruit orchards, and quiet countryside villages and markets from lying between Kampong Thom and Kratie on this 5-hour drive by car.

Meals: Breakfast

Accommodation: Rajabori Villas Resort

Day 6 : Find out Irrawaddy dolphins in the west banks of the Mekong River

Take a half-day kayaking trip through the west banks of the Mekong River, around small islands and flooded forests in search of the rare Irrawaddy dolphins. This area of Cambodia is rarely visited by tourists, ensuring this experience is eco-friendly and with a bit of luck, extremely rewarding.

Return to the Rajabori Villas to freshen up and complete the check-out process as a 3-hour journey north to Mondulkiri by car awaits. Check-in to the Mayura Hill Resort in Sen Monorom and rest up for the next day’s experiences.

Return to your resort in the late afternoon.

Day 8 : Meet the 5 rescued elephants at the Mondulkiri Elephant Project

Meet the 5 rescued elephants at the Mondulkiri Elephant Project found just outside of Sen Monorom.

Return to Sen Monorom in the late afternoon.
