Highlights of Cambodia

Itinerary

Day 1 Phnom Penh

Visit the Royal Palace, the Silver Pagoda, the National Museum and Wat Phnom Pagoda with your local guide.

Day 2 Phnom Penh/Siem Reap

There's time to trawl the Russian Market for interesting artefacts, clothes and jewellery, before catching the bus to Siem Reap.

Day 3 Angkor Complex - Rolous Group/Angkor Wat

Get a first taste of ancient Khmer architecture amongst the Rolous group of temples. Later, wander the monument that marked the pinnacle of the Khmer Empire - the amazing Angkor Wat.

Day 4 Angkor Complex - Angkor Thom/Ta Prohm

Receive a royal welcome entering Angkor Thom through its striking causeway, and lock eyes with the enormous smiling stone faces that adorn the Bayon. In the afternoon, lose yourself amongst the shadows of Ta Prohm, a temple left to crumble beneath the weight of silk cotton and strangler fig trees.

Day 5 Banteay Srei

Tiny sandstone Banteay Srei stands out for its exquisite bas-reliefs. Duck beneath tiny doorways to admire carvings of dancing girls and fearsome gods, before stopping at Preah Khan, Neak Pean and Ta Som.

Day 6 Siem Reap

Squeeze in some last-minute shopping at the local market before saying goodbye.
