The essential Cambodia in five days, built for first-time visitors and short breaks. See the royal capital, the temples of Angkor at sunrise and life on the great Tonle Sap lake.
Cambodia Classic Highlights is a 5 day, 4 night private tour from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap covering the Royal Palace and the National Museum, sunrise at Angkor Wat with Ta Prohm, Angkor Thom and the Bayon, Banteay Srei, an Apsara dance performance and a Tonle Sap floating village. It is the shortest itinerary that still does Cambodia justice.
The Royal Palace, Angkor Wat at sunrise, Ta Prohm, the Bayon, Banteay Srei and the Tonle Sap - the five things people come to Cambodia for, inside five days.
Drive to Siem Reap for five or six hours of real countryside, or take the short domestic flight and gain an afternoon. We quote both.
Add the coast, Battambang or a homestay night and this becomes a week or ten days without rebuilding it from scratch.
The working royal residence with its Silver Pagoda, and the finest collection of Khmer sculpture anywhere - the best possible preparation for Angkor.
A full guided day through the small circuit, starting in the dark at Angkor Wat, with an Apsara dance performance and dinner in the evening.
The pink sandstone carving of Banteay Srei in the morning, and an afternoon boat trip into a floating village on the lake.
Every timing below is a starting point, not a rule. Tell us your flights and we rebuild the shape of the trip around them.
