Angkor– a UNESCO World Heritage Centre is one of the most important archaeological sites in South-East Asia. Stretching over some 400 km2, including forested area, Angkor Archaeological Park contains the magnificent remains of the different capitals of the Khmer Empire, from the 9th to the 15th century. They include the famous Temple of Angkor Wat and, at Angkor Thom, the Bayon Temple with its countless sculptural decorations. UNESCO has set up a wide-ranging programme to safeguard this symbolic site and its surroundings.
Siem Reap is home to world-famous Angkor Archaeological Park. Located in Cambodia, the town also has several other monuments of historical and cultural importance. Siem Reap is reachable by air, bus and taxi. One of the first places to explore to learn about the heritage of this town is Angkor National Museum. It features a large number of exhibits showing various facets of Khmer culture.
Phnom Penh is the vibrant bustling capital of Cambodia. Situated at the confluence of three rivers, the mighty Mekong, the Bassac and the great Tonle Sap, what was once considered the ‘Gem’ of Indochina. The capital city still maintains considerable charm with plenty to see. It exudes a sort of provincial charm and tranquillity with French colonial mansions and tree-lined boulevards amidst monumental Angkorian architecture.

The Palace was opened in 1870 under King Norodom, and now contains the Royal Residence, the Throne Hall, the Silver Pagoda, and other buildings.

The Pagoda draws its name with more than 5,000 silver tiles, which cover a floor in the temple.

Meals Day 2

Toul Sleng Prison Museum- Russian Market- Departure (B/L)

This morning explore the National Museum’s collection of Khmer art, which displays over 5,000 objects including statues and other artefacts from Angkor Wat. Then we discover Phnom Penh’s Psar Toul Tom Pong, known as the, a great place to hunt for souvenirs, curious, and silks. After lunch at a local restaurant, we visit the Toul Sleng Prison Museum and the Killing Fields of Choeung Ek-both grim reminders of Cambodia’s bloody past under Pol Pot. It is almost inconceivable to confront the nature of true evil here in this gentle land, but the Buddhist memorial at Choeung Ek, commemorates the 1.7 million victims of the 1975-79 Pol Pot regime. This excursion may prove distressing for some. It is, however, an important piece of this country’s historical and cultural puzzle. Transfer to the airport for the flight departure.
