Day 1: Arrive Siem Reap (D)
On arrival in Siem Reap, you will be met and transferred to your hotel for a three-night stay. After settling in, set out to explore the city of World Heritage. Begin at the Angkor Wat, unquestionably one of the wonders of the ancient world. Erected before 1150 AD, this temple-complex represents one of the most intricate and dramatic religious structures ever conceived by the human mind. Its bas-reliefs and friezes are an illustrated guide to Hindu mythology. There is still an active Buddhist monastery within the temple domain. Explore the stone galleries, terraces, and grounds until dusk. Dinner with dance Apsaras show at local restaurant. Overnight in Seam Reap.
Day 2: Siem Reap (B/L/-)
This morning continue your touring of the ruins. Begin at the South Gate of Angkor Thom, an ancient royal city that covers four square miles and is the pinnacle of the Khmer obsession with vast public works. Walk through looming gates, guarded by statues of gods and demons. At the center of Angkor Thom is the Temple of Bayon, a tremendous multi-towered temple with bas-reliefs depicting Hindu mythology. The central tower is covered with four gargantuan heads, depicting the king as a Bodhisattva, or Buddhist deity of compassion. This image is repeated throughout the Bayon, making it one of the most striking sites at Angkor. Continue by car past the Elephant and Leper King Terraces to Preah Khan, a remarkably preserved temple, and Ta Prohm, a temple that remains completely engulfed in vines and tree roots - this is arguably the most evocative of all Angkor's many temples. If time permits, continue touring the ruins, or relax at your hotel. Overnight in Seam Reap.
Day 3: Siem Reap (B/L/-)
Begin the day with a drive through rural villages to the intricately carved, and well preserved, 10th century Temple of Banteay Srei, also known as the 'Citadel of the Women'. Banteay Srei is considered by many to be the 'jewel' in Angkor's crown. Return to Siem Reap mid-day and visit Artisans D'Angkor, where young Cambodians are being trained in the traditional arts of their country. Spend the afternoon cruising Lake Tonle Sap, inhabited by dozens of floating villages. This leisurely cruise provides a perfect opportunity to take in the local lifestyle, as well as to observe the many species of birds that thrive around the lake. Overnight in Seam Reap.
Day 4: Departure (B)
Enjoy your free time for souvernir shopping until transfer to the airport for your onward flight.
