In the centre of the city you’ll discover Bayon Temple, well known for the 54 towers showing enigmatic faces that gaze down upon the people who visit. In the afternoon, you’ll hop in a tuk-tuk to Angkor Wat, where you can explore to your hearts content.

Day 11: Siem Reap

Today you’ll venture outside of Siem Reap on a gentle cycling tour, winding your way through small villages that few tourists ever see and stopping along the way to chat to locals and learn about their way of life. Don’t worry, there is a support vehicle if you want to take a break along the way! In the afternoon you’ll drive to the pretty temple of Banteay Srei, the so called “Citadel of the Women”, one of the best preserved temples in Cambodia with examples of classical Khmer Art in carved into the pink sandstone. One the way home you’ll stop at a local pagoda and have a private blessing ceremony from the Buddhist monks, wishing you safe journey and prosperous lives together.

After a short rest at the hotel, you’ll finish your day on a high by enjoying a relaxing cruise in a gondola paddle boat at the moat of Angkor Thom, watching the sun set over Prasat Chroung temple. Enjoy champagne and canapés as your boat slowly paddles around the moat – a special and romantic end to your time in Cambodia.
