Cambodia Heritage and Beach 8 Days / 7 Nights
This beautifully balanced journey offers a perfect combination of cultural discovery and beachfront relaxation. Begin with the enchanting temples of Angkor, where Khmer history and mythology come alive through intricate carvings and awe-inspiring architecture. Dive deeper into the rhythms of Cambodian life with a countryside immersion, explore Siem Reap by night, and then let the turquoise waters of Koh Rong Island welcome you to the ultimate island escape. From ancient temples and rural villages to sun-kissed beaches and vibrant city scenes, this adventure showcases Cambodia’s rich heritage and natural beauty in just eight unforgettable days.
Your day begins before dawn as you witness the majestic sunrise over Angkor Wat—Cambodia’s most iconic symbol and a masterpiece of classical Khmer architecture. Following this spiritual experience, explore the great city of Angkor Thom, including the mesmerizing Bayon Temple with its countless serene stone faces. Wander through the Elephant Terrace and Baphuon Temple, which is nearing the end of a remarkable restoration effort. In the afternoon, visit the atmospheric Ta Prohm, a jungle-clad temple overtaken by massive tree roots. Your day culminates with a return visit to Angkor Wat to fully appreciate its grandeur in daylight. Finally, soak in the sunset from the peaceful Pre Rup Temple before heading back to your hotel.
This morning, step into authentic Khmer life as you travel by tuk-tuk to remote villages, beginning with Krab Ei Real market to gather ingredients for your lunch. Ride through rice paddies by traditional ox-cart to a local family’s home, where you’ll learn to prepare and enjoy a typical Cambodian meal. Later in the afternoon, return to Siem Reap and embark on a walking tour through the town’s sacred sites and colonial charm. Visit Preah Ang Chek and Preah Ang Chorm shrines, King’s Residence, and French-colonial FCC Angkor. Stroll along the Siem Reap River, stop at Wat Prum Roath and Wat Bo to chat with resident monks, and finish at the Old Market. Enjoy dinner at a local restaurant before returning to your hotel.
Today is yours to enjoy at your own pace. Whether you choose to unwind at your hotel, visit local shops and cafes, or explore more of Siem Reap’s cultural attractions, the day is completely open for personal discovery.
After a relaxing morning, transfer to the airport for a short domestic flight to Sihanoukville. Upon arrival, you’ll be driven to the pier where a private speedboat will take you to Koh Rong Island. Check in at your serene beachfront resort and spend the rest of the day unwinding by the sea.
These two days are all about relaxation and beach bliss. Koh Rong is a tropical paradise with powdery white sands, turquoise waters, and lush jungle interiors. Swim in the clear sea, snorkel near coral reefs, explore nearby nature trails, or simply enjoy a good book with your feet in the sand. Whether you’re up for adventure or peaceful seclusion, Koh Rong is the perfect island escape.
After breakfast, take a boat back to Sihanoukville where your driver will be waiting to transfer you to Phnom Penh. The 4-hour scenic drive through Cambodia’s countryside brings you to Phnom Penh International Airport, where you’ll connect with your departure flight. Tour ends.
