Day 1: Phnom Penh

Upon arrival in the Cambodian capital, transfer to the hotel and spend the rest of the day exploring one of Phnom Penh’s most extraordinary landmarks – the Royal Palace. Located close to the riverfront, the complex was built in 1866 by King Norodom and serves as the royal residence of the reigning monarch. Wander around the palace grounds and marvel at the striking Silver Pagoda. Named after its gleaming silver-tiled floor, the structure is home to a crystal Emerald Buddha sculpture as well as a life-sized, solid golden Buddha statue, encrusted with thousands of diamonds.

Day 2: Phnom Penh

Wake up early and travel to the Phnom Tamao Wildlife Rescue Centre (PTWRC). Supported by the Australian NGO ‘Free the Bears’, the sanctuary cares for a variety of animals, including 120 sun and moon bears, rescued from illegal wildlife trade. Enjoy a unique behind-the-scenes tour and learn more about the centre’s conservation work. Listen to the individual stories of the animals that have been saved from the hands of illegal poachers and traffickers and help feed the adorable bears.

Day 3: Phnom Penh – Siem Reap

Escape the hectic life of the city with a morning trip to Koh Dach. Only a few kilometres from the capital, this sleepy village on the banks of the Mekong River feels like a world away. Immerse in the peaceful atmosphere whilst strolling around the island, famous for its silk weaving tradition. Visit the silk centre and village to observe local artisans at work and learn about the complex processes involved in the fabric’s production. Pick up a beautiful scarf or shirt before leaving.

Wake up early and spend an adventurous day exploring the majestic temples of Angkor. For an even more spectacular experience, board a tethered balloon and marvel at the spectacular scenery, dotted with ancient temples, from above. Back on solid ground, take a closer look at the mighty Angkor Wat. Discover the decorative carvings along the ancient walls and the Hall of Echoes before continuing to the magical Ta Phrom. Famous thanks to its appearance in the Lara Croft: Tomb Raider film, this unique temple is wrapped in giant roots and has large trees growing from its roofs. As soon the sun rises high in the sky, escape the midday heat and return to the hotel for some lunch. Spend the afternoon relaxing by the pool or strolling through the charming town, lined with quaint French colonial buildings.

Day 5: Siem Reap

Head back to the amazing temple complex and spend the morning visiting Angkor Thom. The ancient Royal Palace comprises several remarkable structures with its main highlight being the mesmerising Bayon temple.

After a one hour’s drive, swap the motorised vehicle for an ox cart and travel the rest of the way by this traditional means of transport.
