DAYS 3-5: SIEM REAP
A short flight brings you to Siem Reap, gateway to the incredible temples of Angkor. Watch the dusk sunlight glowing on the colourful floating villages as you glide across Tonle Sap Lake by boat. Steal through the jungle, your path illuminated only by torchlight, and enter the little-used eastern gate of Angkor Wat to watch the sun’s first light shining down on the magnificent temple - an experience you will never forget. A tuk-tuk ride proves an entertaining way to travel between temples, ideal for taking photos. Later, the magnificent stone heads of the Bayon will amaze, before you amble through the atmospheric ruins of tree-covered Ta Prohm. On your last day, enjoy free time until your departure transfer.
