Absolute Angkor
4 Days
Overview:
Visit majestic Angkor Wat, the largest religious tribute in the world and a UNESCO heritage site. Located in the beautiful and historic country of Cambodia, Angkor Wat is a truly remarkable place. You’ll start this journey with a lovely meal and dazzling performance, before embarking on the adventure of a lifetime. Venture through the ancient site where trees seem to grow through the temples and glimpse the roots of Hinduism and Buddhism, figuratively and literally. Make sure to visit Ta Prohm, one of the many temples that decorate this time-worn but gorgeous complex. Afterwards, bike and wander through the rural countryside of Siem Reap, where you’ll integrate yourself among native Cambodians by making a traditional meal for a monk and exploring one of many marketplaces that cover the land. You’ll also visit the floating village of Tonle Sap Lake, a peaceful spot with a great view of the sunset, to cap off your tour.

Weather and climate
