A four-day guided tour providing a brief
overview of Phnom Penh and the Angkor temple complex

Phnom
Penh, the Silver Pagoda, sunset cruise on the Chatomouk
River, Siem Reap and the Angkor Temple complex, and cruising
on Ton Le Sap.

A night
in Phnom Penh
Sadly, most of historic Phnom Penh was razed by the Kh’mer
Rouge, but much of the famous Silver Pagoda remains, and is
an oriental gem. The Royal Palace and the National Museum are
rewarding visits, and a relaxing river cruise rounds off the
day pleasantly.
There’s an option to visit
Tuol Sleng (now the Museum of Genocide), a High School converted
into the infamous S-21 torture and interrogation centre, and
the Choeung Ek extermination centre, collectively known as the
‘Killing Fields’. Allow an extra day if you want
to add this to your tailor-made itinerary.
Meals:
one lunch and one dinner
Guide:
transfer from airport and the afternoon
Two nights
in Siem Reap and two splendid days in Angkor
To attempt to describe the Angkor complex could only result
in a string of superlatives – it is literally awe-inspiring.
You have to see it for yourself to appreciate its scope and
vision.
For those interested in Kh’mer culture
and architecture, a month would be an inadequate visit, but
for lay people, a couple of days is enough to provide a good
overview of this unique memorial to a long-dead civilisation
at its cultural zenith.
If time permits, a stroll to the top of one
of the nearby hills allows a stunning panorama of the complex.
Meals:
two breakfasts, two lunches and two dinners
Guide: from arrival
in Siem Reap to returning to your hotel at the end of the second
day.
Leaving
Cambodia
Your visit to Angkor draws to a close with a trip on the remarkable
Ton Le Sap. In the afternoon, your car and driver will arrive
at your hotel to take you to the airport in good time for your
flight
Meals:
one breakfast and one lunch
