Amazing Cambodia ( 5 Nights / 6 Days)

Day 1: Arrival Phnom Penh

Upon arrival at Phnom Penh Airport will be met by our guide and driver then transfer to the hotel for check-in (Check-in time at 14:00). Rest of the day is free at leisure. Overnight in Phnom Penh.

DAY 2: Phnom Penh 

After breakfast, Phnom Penh began the Cambodian capital from 1866, suffering massive damage in the Khmer Rouge-era, but the city still retains its rustic charm. Along with our local guide, they tour the city and discover their old and recent pasts. The tour begins at Cambodia Royal Palace. The Cambodian Royal Palace is a magnificent place located directly in the city centre on the riverbank. Visitors are open to several buildings, including the Silver Pagoda, with solid silver tiles lined up in the soil. I’m going to the National Museum. The museum is located in a wonderful old building, full of the art and artifacts of the former Kola at the northern tip of the city, and is a pagoda on the hilltop of the capital, and the capital was named. Set up stairs at the top of the hill to see the stunning views of the city below. In the afternoon, they take a tour of the country with a tour of the Tuol Sleng Prison (S-21) and Cheengen’s murder field, reminding them of the evil of the Khmer-Rouge regime. Though not a fun tour, a visit to these monuments unlocks the key to understanding the development of this developing country. During that time, you will also have time to visit the Russian market. Test your negotiation skills as you wander the stands with souvenirs, local crafts and electronic goods. Overnight in Phnom Penh.

Overnight in Battambang.

DAY 4: Battambang – Private Vehicle to Siem Reap 

After breakfast at the hotel. In the morning, it’s the countryside around Battambang that makes this region so fascinating. And there’s no better way to see it than by Tuk-Tuk. There’s so much to see and taste! Rice paper being made for spring rolls as it dries in the sun on racks or see rice noodles being made in a factory. Sticky sweet rice is cooked inside bamboo with coconut and red beans. You can stop to see the sticky rice being baked over the fire and then enjoy pulling the bamboo apart and eating it with your fingers – it’s sticky and messy but that’s half the fun. If sticky rice isn’t your think. Return to hotel for check out at 12:00PM. In the afternoon we drive to Siem Reap. (From Battambang to Seim Reap we take about 3 or 4 hours). On arrival Siem Reap check in to the hotel. The rest of the day is free for leisure. Overnight in Siem Reap.
