This 6 day tour starts in Phnom Penh and then takes you to Siem Reap to visit Angkor Wat and the surrounding temples and floating villages. We spend the first few days in Phnom Penh visiting the Royal Palace and taking in some of the history of Cambodia. The trip then continues to Siem Reap the launching area for trips to Angkor Wat. Angkor Wat built in the 12th century is one of the largest and most beautiful temple complexes of the world. After exploring Angkor Wat we will spend several days getting to know the local culture and exploring surrounding temples. Although Angkor Wat is the largest each temple the surrounding temples each have their own special features that make them a delight to visit. For instance, the 54 four-headed Buddha statues are one of the most impressive sights of the 12th century Bayon Temple Complex. We spend one day going by boat to the floating villages of Kampong Kleang a traditional fishing village.
