3 days Cambodia Classic Tour
PNOM PENH -
ANGKOR TEMPLES -SIEM REAP (3 DAYS/ 2 NIGHTS)
DAY 1: ARRIVAL - PHNOM PENH On arrival at Po Chen Tong Airport , you are met and transferred to
hotel. Phnom Penh was once considered the loveliest city of Indochina.
Despite its recent turbulent history, it still maintains considerable
charm. A city tour acquaints us with some major sights of Phnom Penh.
The private quarters of the Royal Palace are now home to the royal
family and are therefore very close to the public. At the northern area
of the palace grounds is Silver Pagoda, well known for its 5000 silver
tiled floor. We visit both structures as well as the National Museum for
an appreciation of the splendour of Khmer history. Heading out of this
area we explore the legendary temple of Wat Phnom, which provides an
interesting view over the surroundings. O/N in Phnom Penh.
DAY 2: PNOM PENH - SIEM REAP - ANGKOR TEMPLES
An early morning transfer to airport for flight to Siem Reap. This
town is our base for exploring the world famous temples of the ancient
city Angkor, which was the capital of the powerful Khmer Empire from 802
AD to 1350 AD. After checking into hotel, we drive to the archeological
area to visit the South Gate of Angkor Thom, which is famous for its
series of colossal human faces carved in stone, the impressive Bayon
Temple, the Royal Enclosure, Phimeanakas, the Elephant Terrace and the
Terrace of Leper King. The largest as well as most complete structure of
Angkor Wat is not to be missed. We stroll around this massive monument,
exploring the many galleries with columns, libraries, pavilions,
courtyards and ponds full of water reflecting the towering temple. O/N
in Siem Reap.
DAY 3: SIEM REAP - DEPARTURE The temple of Ta Prohm with enormous fig trees and gigantic creepers
embracing themselves in the stone foundations of the structure giving
the impression of man's creation being reclaimed by the powerful forces
of nature, is an incredible sight. We explore this masterpiece as well
as some of the surrounding temples including Banteay Kdei, Sra Srong, Ta
Keo, Thommanon and Chau Say Tevado. The trip ends after your transfer to
Siem Reap Airport for departure.
