An excellent and varied tour with many highlights. We missed out on visiting Battambang because of border disputes but this was probably to our benefit as we had extra days in Phnom Penh and Siem Riep so we had less travelling and moving hotels and gained a lovely cycle ride round Silk Island in Phnom Penh so we didn’t miss out on anything. The pace was comfortable with quite moments but no boredom. The group was lovely, the leader excellent, the restaurants also excellent, such a variety of delicious food, beautifully presented at extremely reasonable prices (helped by a good exchange rate with the US$ but would still ahve been reasonable). The only improvement would have been the inclusion of some of the optional extras which were all excellent. I would have also been good to visit the Landmine museum and the Phnom Kulen mountains. I would say that countryside was what was most missing from this tour, we had glimpses on the day near Kampot and on Silk island but a visit to a National Park would have provided another level of contrast to those already on the tour. It would be good to provide an extension in Siem Riep to include a third day at the temples, the Landmine Museum, the floating villages and the Phnom Kulen mountains.
Angkor Wat
Angkor Wat Trips
Angkor is the standout archaeological site in Southeast Asia, with more than 100 stone temples built by Khmer kings over 400 years. Of all the structures, however, it is Angkor Wat that shines brightest – a Hindu temple so vast that it is said to have taken 300,000 people and 6,000 elephants to build. Elsewhere, there is plenty more to see on Angkor Wat tours. Another highlight is the Bayon, which features 54 intricately carved gothic towers complete with enormous carved smiling faces. Though much of Angkor has been restored, the Ta Prohm temple was deliberately left with its jungle covering; you get a real sense of what the French explorers would have seen when they rediscovered the site in the 1870s. This remarkable place is definitely one for the bucket list.
