Detail Itinerary
Day 1: Phnom Penh Arrival Pick up and transfer to hotel. In the afternoon, Phnom Penh city tour. Visit the Victory Monument and the National Museum, also called Musēe des Beaux-Arts. A French archeologist and painter, Georges Groslier, designed it in Khmer style in 1917. The museum contains a collection of art-notably sculptures – throughout the ages. Visit the Royal palace built by King Norodom in 1866 on the site of the old town, and the Silver Pagoda. Located within the grounds of the Royal Palace, the Silver Pagoda is so named because of its floor, which is covered with over 5,000 silver tiles. The treasure found inside include a solid gold Buddha, encrusted and weighing 90 kilograms, and a small 17th century emerald and baccarat crystal Buddha. End your afternoon with a visit to Wat Phnom Temple, Phnom Penh’s namesake, from where you can enjoy views over the tree-lined avenues of the city during sunset. Overnight in Phnompenh.

In the afternoon. Visit the most famous of all the temples on the plain of Angkor: Angkor Wat. The temples complex covers 81 hectares and is comparable in size to the Imperial Palace in Beijing. Its distinctive five towers are emblazoned on the Cambodia flag and the 12th century masterpiece is considered by art historians to be the prime example of classical Khmer art and architecture.Angkor Wat’s five towers symbolize Meru’s five peaks - the enclosing wall represents the mountains at the edge of the world and the surrounding moat, the ocean beyond Sunset at Angkor Wat of from Phnom Bakhebg, one of the two hills dominating the plain of Angkor, from where you will have a spectacular view of the Western Baray and Angkor Wat.

Day 3: Siem Reap Departure (B) Breakfast at hotel.In the morning, you will continue your temple visit, including Prasat Kravan with unique brick sculptures, Pre Rup, the mountain-temple, Ta Som, Neak Pean, a fountain built in the middle of a pool and representing the paradisiacal Himalayan mountain-lake, Eastern Mebon, guarded at its corner by stone figures of harnessed elephants some of which are still in a reasonable state of preservation and Preah Khan, built by the King Jayavarman VII and, like Ta Prohm, a place of towered enclosures and shoulder-hugging corridors. Unlike Ta Prohm, however, the temple of Preah Khan is in a reasonable state of preservation and even improves this situation. In the afternoon. Transfer to the archaeological site and continue the temples tour. Visit Ta Prohm, one of the most beautiful temples in the area, as it has been relatively untouched since it was discovered and retains much of its mystery. Its appeal lies in the fact that, unlike the other monuments of Angkor, it has been left to be swallowed by the jungle, and looks very much the way most of the monuments of Angkor appeared when European explorer first stumbled upon them .Transfer to Siem Reap International Airport for departure flight to the next destination.
