Detailed Trip Description
Our private trips have been carefully designed to offer a range of different experiences within a limited amount of time. Ranging from four to eight days, these itineraries are suitable for anyone with a reasonable degree of fitness, including families with older children. Nature lovers and trekkers are spoiled for choice in this region. At certain times of year the plumage of the areas’ many feathered visitors will provide a riot of color. As a social enterprise we have good relations with the local voluntary organizations and can provide an insight or a more in-depth view into current issues, education and social welfare. Keen photographers will have hundreds, possibly thousands, of photo opportunities throughout the region: historic temples, crumbling colonial architecture, landscapes, nature, details and the constant warm smile of the local people.
Trip Itinerary
Day 1 - Siem Reap
Arrival in Siem Reap.
Airport Transfer
Arrival at SIEM REAP airport, where you will be met by one of our representatives and taken to your hotel to check in.
Sightseeing
Travel by private car or bus to some of the main temples of Angkor – including Angkor Thom, site of the famous heads of the Bayon, Ta Phrom, still largely claimed by the jungle, and Angkor Wat itself. Accompanied by an English–speaking local guide, learn about the historical evolution of the Khmer kingdom and the building of the temples. Sufficient time is allowed at each site for you to explore at your own pace, take photographs, or just stare in wonder – plus a long break for lunch to shelter from the heat of the midday sun! At just before sunset, climb to the top of Angkor Wat (if you dare!) for a sight not to be missed.
Hotel
Return to the hotel by early evening.
Day 2 - Siem Reap
Visit temples within the Angkor complex.
Sightseeing
Visit further temples within the Angkor complex, including Ta Phrom, still largely claimed by the jungle, and Banteay Srei, with amazingly intricate detail carved in red sandstone. Again, the day is unhurried, giving you time of your own and avoiding the pressurised rush of typical guided tours.
Hotel
Return to the hotel by early evening.
Day 3 - Siem Reap
Visit Kbal Spein, the "river of a thousand lingas".
Sightseeing
Visit Kbal Spein, the "river of a thousand lingas", with ancient carvings on a riverbed and a scenic short trek through the jungle to reach it.
Relaxation
The afternoon is free- you can spend more time at the temples, walk around the town, swim in a local resort pool, or just relax.
Day 4 - Battambang
Trip by motorcycle (with driver) into the beautiful countryside surrounding Battambang.
Sightseeing
Travel by private boat through a floating village, across a great lake and along the winding river to Battambang. Travelling past many small fishing villages, you can see local people going about their daily lives (except when they all stop to wave to you!).
Sightseeing
In the afternoon, take a trip by motorcycle (with driver) into the beautiful countryside surrounding Battambang to some local places of interest and visit one of the local voluntary organisations who are working with the Cambodian people in developing the country.
Day 5 - Battambang
Off the beaten track with your motorcycle driver in Battambang.
Sightseeing
Headed by a local guide, you will visit some hilltop temples to enjoy the spectacular view and drive along tiny winding tracks into some small villages where tourists hardly ever venture. Visit the caves where many people were tortured and executed by the Khmer Rouge, an important part of Cambodia’s recent tragic history.
Hotel
Return to the hotel by early evening.
Day 6 - Phnom Penh
Travel to Phnom Penh and take a guided tour of Phnom Penh.
Private Car Service
