Day 1: - SUN - Siem Reap - Arrival day
On your first day in Cambodia, wonderfull holiday in Cambodia, according to your arrival time, we will be pleased to give you some suggestions on what to do with your first day or afternoon in Cambodia. There is plenty of possibilities, such as a relaxing “blind massage”, a refreshing drink in a beautiful garden, a visit of an NGO (non governmental organization) providing beautiful craft industry, or even a foretaste of the temples of Angkor with the visit of the Roluos group, unless you are just dreaming for a good reparative sleep after your long journey. In the evening, you will have a first group meeting with your local tour leader before going to a local restaurant for a welcome dinner.Overnight in Siem Reap at Side Walk Villa or similarDinner included
Day 2: – Siem Reap – Phnom Kulen – Anlong Veng
We will take you at your hotel at 8:00 am and drive 48 km northeast of Siem Reap to the Phnom Kulen (Lychee Mountain), a sandstone plateau considered sacred by the Khmers. Our vehicle will bring us by a steep dirt road near the top of the mountain; on the way up you will be able to admire dramatic scenery. There, you will see the ancient sculptures on the riverbed by crossing the bridge, then a stair will take you to a pagoda which homes the biggest reclining Buddha of the country, carved in the rock. Enjoy the view of the countryside from there. The hike will continue towards the 30 meters high waterfalls where you will have a picnic lunch. This is a very popular place for Khmer people to come and enjoy their weekend with a picnic. More carvings stand in the riverbed above the waterfall. After a good and refreshing swim with the locals, (don’t forget your swimsuits), we will continue our drive to the north on a countryside road. During the 4 hour trip through the jungle we will meet few signs of civilization until we will arrive at Anlong Veng, sadly famous for having been the last Khmer Rouge stronghold. We will arrive in Anlong Veng in the late afternoon and check-in at our guesthouse before going to dinner.Overnight in Anlong Veng at Moronom Villa or similar
Day 3: – Anlong Veng – Preah Vihear (B / L)
After breakfast, we will have some time to explore Anlong Veng and its most popular destination, Oh Chit, an artificial lake initially built as a moat by Ta Mok for his house.At 10am, we will resume our journey and drive about 4 hours to Preah Vihear. The temple dominates the plain from its prominent position in the Dangrek Mountains, which straddle the Thai border, at an altitude of more than 700 m. The way to the top is very steep on the Cambodian side while it slopes gently towards Thailand. Be that as it may, the stunning view onto the surrounding which, on a clear day, reach all the way to Phnom Kulen to the west and the intersection of the Lao, Thai and Cambodian borders to the east, will reward us for our effort. We will have plenty of time to visit the temple and the area and enjoy the beautiful sunset on the top of the hill before having dinner and spend the night in one of the guesthouses near the temple.Overnight in Preah Vihear at Environment House or similar
Day 4: – Preah Vihear – Preah Khan – Tbeng Meanchey (B)

We will pass through the deciduous dipterocarp forest and grassland mosaic of the Northern Plains of Cambodia, home of some of the rarest bird species of South-east Asia, such as some Ibis (like the Giant Ibis, the Cambodia’s national bird), Vultures and Ducks; most of them are endangered. We will stop en route for lunch. In the beginning of the afternoon, we will arrive at our destination, the temples of Preah Khan, also know as Prasat Bakan. This is one of the most remote temple of Cambodia and when exploring the temples you will have a real feel of being lost in the middle of nowhere.Then, we will drive back to the small provincial city of Tbeng Meancheay where we will arrive in the evening.Overnight in Tbeng Meanchey at Phrum Meas Guesthouse or similar
Day 5: - Tbeng Meanchey – Koh Ker – Beng Melea (B / D)

Koh Ker was the capital city of the Khmer Empire during hardly two decades (928-944) during the reign of Jayavarman IV. The main ruins at Koh Ker consist of an impressive seven-storey sandstone pyramid (Prasat Thom). It is believed that over 80 ruins lie in this area. Then, a one-hour drive will take us to Beng Melea. Beng Melea was built during the 12th century, at about the same time as Angkor Wat of which its layout and style closely mirror. However, Beng Melea is completely ruined and largely overrun by vegetation. This temple is very lightly touristed and offers plenty picturesque pictures’ opportunities.Later, we will drive to our homestay in a nearby village in the evening and we will share a friendly meal with our hosts.Overnight at Homestay

There are more than 100 small temples, scattered through the forest.

Day 7: – Kompong Thom – Phnom Penh (B / L)
