Detailed Itinerary:

Here is how the six days unfold, from your first stroll along Phnom Penh’s riverfront to a last morning in Siem Reap. Every part of it can be adjusted: add a night where you want to linger, swap an activity or change your hotel class, and we will shape the plan around you.

Day 01:Phnom Penh Arrival

Sua s’dei, and welcome to Phnom Penh, Cambodia’s riverside capital, where French colonial villas stand beside gilded pagodas.

Arrival

You are met at Phnom Penh Airport and driven to your hotel.

Afternoon

The afternoon is yours to stroll the streets and take in the city’s colonial architecture. The National Museum, a graceful red building filled with the finest Khmer sculpture, is well worth a visit.

Evening

Dinner tonight is at Friends, a restaurant run by an organisation that gives food, shelter, medical care and training to vulnerable young people. Its Khmer and Western sharing plates are delicious, and every meal helps a young person learn a trade.

Meals: Dinner. Accommodation: Hotel in Phnom Penh.

Day 02:Phnom Penh – Royal Palace – Tuol Sleng – Choeung Ek

A full day in Phnom Penh, a city at the meeting of the Mekong and Tonle Sap rivers that carries both the splendour and the scars of Cambodia’s past.

Morning

Begin at the Royal Palace, home of King Norodom Sihamoni. Its private quarters are closed to the public, but you can visit the Silver Pagoda within the palace walls, the most sacred temple in the country, named for the thousands of silver tiles that cover its floor.

Afternoon

Learn about the tragic legacy of the Khmer Rouge at two powerful memorials. Tuol Sleng, a former high school, became a prison where many thousands of people were held and tortured. At Choeung Ek, the Killing Fields outside the city, a memorial stupa holds the skulls of some 8,000 victims, and the quiet orchard setting makes its history all the harder to imagine. If you wish, you can also visit Wat Phnom, the hilltop temple from which the city takes its name.

Evening

Spend a relaxed evening at a cafe on the riverfront, watching the boats go by.

Good to know: the visits to Tuol Sleng and Choeung Ek are moving and can be distressing. They are not recommended for young children.

Meals: Breakfast. Accommodation: Hotel in Phnom Penh.

Day 03:Phnom Penh – Fly to Siem Reap – Tonle Sap Lake

A short flight to Siem Reap, gateway to the temples of Angkor, and an afternoon on Southeast Asia’s largest lake.

Morning

Take the flight of about an hour to Siem Reap, a relaxed riverside town and the gateway to Angkor. You will notice the slower pace right away, so take a stroll and enjoy the atmosphere.

Afternoon

Drive to Chong Kneas village on the shore of Tonle Sap and board a boat to explore its floating community, where houses, schools, shops and even clinics sit on the water and families make their living from fishing.

Meals: Breakfast. Accommodation: Hotel in Siem Reap.

Day 04:Siem Reap – Full Day Angkor Temples

Between the 9th and 15th centuries, Angkor was the capital of a Khmer empire that ruled much of Southeast Asia, and today you explore its greatest temples with your guide.

Morning

Begin at Angkor Wat, the largest and most complete of the temples and, unusually, built to face west, towards the setting sun. Then pass through the gates of Angkor Thom, the Great Royal City, to the Bayon at its centre, where more than 50 towers are carved with over 200 serene, smiling faces.

Midday

Lunch is at Sala Bai Hotel School, where young people from poor families train for careers in hospitality, and every dish is prepared and served by its students.

Afternoon

Visit Ta Prohm, where the jungle has taken back the temple and giant trees wrap their roots around the crumbling stones.

Late afternoon

End the day watching the sun go down over the temples, an unforgettable way to close a day at Angkor.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch. Accommodation: Hotel in Siem Reap.

Day 05:Siem Reap – Cooking Class – Phare Circus

A taste of village life in the countryside, then a night of acrobatics and storytelling in town.

Morning

Leave Siem Reap by tuk tuk for a village a short ride outside the city. Your cooking class begins with a visit to a local family, who show you the herbs and vegetables grown in most Khmer gardens and used in everyday cooking. Then, with the help of local cooks, try your hand at authentic Cambodian dishes and learn the tricks of the country’s traditional kitchen.

Midday

Sit down to enjoy the dishes you have made for lunch.

Afternoon

Return to your hotel, with the rest of the afternoon at leisure. The Old Market is well worth a wander, even if you are not looking for souvenirs.

Evening

Your driver takes you to Phare, the Cambodian Circus, where young performers trained by a local arts school combine acrobatics, theatre, music and dance to tell Cambodian stories, with dinner included.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner. Accommodation: Hotel in Siem Reap.
