Day 1: Arrival Phnom Penh – Royal Palace – Independence Monument – Wat Phnom (D)
- As you arrive at Phnom Penh airport, your guide will welcome you and take you to your hotel for check-in.
  Your time in the capital begins with the magnificent Royal palace, which still serves as the home for the highly respected Royal family and His Majesty the King Norodom Sihamony. You will then proceed to the famous Silver Pagoda, one of Cambodia’s most sacred houses of worship, before visiting the Elephant Museum.
  Following this, the next destination is the Central Market, known as Phsar Thmey. Housed in a beautiful artdeco building, designed and constructed in the 1930’s by French architect Louis Chauchon, the market offers a wide array of goods.
  Then its onwards to the Independence Museum and a walk along Norodom Boulevard to the sacred site of Wat Phnom, which is where the city itself derives its name from. A stroll along the riverfront and dinner rounds out the day before spending the night in Phnom Penh.
Day 2: Phnom Penh: Tuol Sleng – Kildivng Field – Transfer to Siem Reap (B/L)
- On the second day the activities take a darker turn as you get to learn about Cambodia’s brutal recent history. Beginning with the former Khmer Rouge S-21 prison, now known as Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum followed by a 16km drive to the infamous Killing Field of Cheung Ek, which now serves as a museum and memorial site for the victims of Pol Pot’s horrific regime from 1975-1979.
  After this sobering experience, you will be transferred to Siem Reap, a drive that will take you roughly 6 hours. The scenic journey will take you across three provinces: Kandal, Kampong Cham and Kampong Thom. En-route you will stop at Skun, known as “Spider Town” due to its local delicacy of deepfried tarantulas, and Kampong Thom, the Kingdom’s central province. The road is actually the Khmer ancient highway, and ancient bridges can be seen along the way.
  Upon arrival you will be ped off at your hotel for check-in and an overnight stay in Siem Reap.
Day 3: Siem Reap: Roluos Group – Ta Prohm – Angkor Thom (B/D)
- After breakfast, you will take a trip back through time and visit one of the early Angkor capitals, the Hariharalaya, commonly known as the Roluos Group. Here you will get to see temples such as Lolei, Preah Ko, and Bakong.
  Continue on to Ta Prohm, which has been slowly swallowed by the jungle. Man may have originally conquered the jungle to erect buildings here, but over the course of centuries, nature has reclaimed it, and the temple sports giant trees spreading their tentacle-like roots into its very rocks.
  Moving on you will visit many more temples that are part of the sprawling complex, including the mysterious Royal city of Angkor Thom and Bayon with its 54 towers and hundreds of smiling stone faces. Then you will tour the outskirts of the complex, visiting Baphuon, Elephant Terrace, Leper Kings Terrace and the Royal palace.
  In the evening you will enjoy an Apsara dance show with your dinner and then spend the night in Siem Reap.
Day 4: Siem Reap: Angkor Wat – Banteay Srei (B/L)
- This day you will get to see what many consider the highlight of Cambodia, the masterpiece of Khmer architecture that is Angkor Wat. Sporting extraordinary carvings on its bas-reliefs, this “Capital Temple” is not only the symbol and pride of the Khmer people, but also the world’s largest religious monument. It has been listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO since 1992.
  You will then continue on to Banteay Srei, a beautiful pink sandstone temple famous for its fine carvings, considered by many as the most beautiful carvings on an Angkor Temple, and Banteay Samre, built by Surya Varman II, the same mastermind behind Angkor Wat.
  Once you’ve gotten to see the temples, you will spend a final night in Siem Reap.
Day 5: Siem Reap: Artisans D’Angkor – Silk Farm – Departure (B)
