Day 4- Battambang Temples, Travel to Siem Reap

Breakfast at your hotel, then your guide will take you to Phnom Banan, here is one of the best preserved temples in Battambang. Looking a bit like a smaller version of Angkor Wat it sits at the top of a small mountain. With 350 laterite steps leading your way you will be happy to take a short break at the summit and enjoy the view.

Next up are the Killing Caves at Phnom Sampeau, here victims were thrown to their deaths through a shaft in the mountain. There is a memorial in the cave containing skulls and bones, and a Golden Reclining Buddha.

From there you are off to Siem Reap, stopping at Preah Net Preah along the way to see traditional stone and wood carving.

Day 5- The Temples Of Angkor

It's an early morning today so you can catch the sunrise over Angkor Wat, then back to your hotel for breakfast. Then off to what was then the capital city, Angkor Thom. Its nine square kilometres are enclosed by a highly decorated carved stone wall 8 eight metres high and a moat. Most notable is the bridge leading across the moat to the South Gate flanked by carvings of Nagas. Once inside the walls you will visit Bayon with its numerous smiling Buddhas, the Terrace of the Leper King, Baphuon, and the Terrace of the Elephants. Located just 1 kilometre away is the overgrown Temple of Ta Prohm. This stunning spot was thrown into the limelight when it was used as a setting in the film Tomb Raider with Angelina Jolie.

We will then break for lunch before heading to the Temples of Banteay Kdei and Banteay Srei. Built as a Buddhist Monastery, Banteay Kdei is known for its concentric galleries and cloisters. Banteay Srei was constructed in red sandstone on a miniature scale in the Angkorian Style. Very few surfaces here were left undecorated with fine carvings of Gods, Animals, Intricate Scrollwork.

Day 6- The Floating Village, Artisan D'Angkor, Phare Cambodia Circus

Breakfast at the hotel, then off a short distance outside the city for a boat trip to the Floating Village of Kompong Phluk. Primarily built on stilts to accommodate the change in the level of the lake between wet and dry season, this is a unique way of life. Moving further into the lake you will visit a Crocodile Farm and stop for lunch.

Travelling back to Siem Reap we visit Artisans D'Angkor where traditional skills and crafts are taught. Here you will see Silk Weaving, Stone and Wood Carving, and Lacquering. Sculptors from the centre have recreated bas-reliefs that were missing from Angkor.
