Day 1: Angkor Wat Sunrise, Ta Prohm & Hidden Temples
Begin with an awe-inspiring sunrise at Angkor Wat
Start your adventure with the breathtaking sight of the sun rising over Angkor Wat, the largest religious monument in the world. As the golden light reflects off the temple’s sandstone towers and the surrounding moat, the tranquil atmosphere creates a magical start to your journey. Wander through the vast temple grounds, where intricate bas-reliefs depict ancient battles, Hindu myths, and celestial dancers (apsaras). The combination of spiritual significance and architectural grandeur makes Angkor Wat a truly unforgettable experience.

Head to Ta Prohm, the famous "Tomb Raider" temple
Step into a scene from the movie Tomb Raider at Ta Prohm, where massive tree roots and vines intertwine with ancient stone walls. The jungle has reclaimed this once-thriving temple, with strangler figs and silk-cotton trees growing over and through the moss-covered towers and galleries. The sound of rustling leaves and distant bird calls adds to the temple's mysterious and enchanting atmosphere.

Discover lesser-known temples like Ta Nei and Banteay Kdei
Escape the crowds and venture to the quiet ruins of Ta Nei, a small temple hidden deep in the forest. Its weathered stones and lichen-covered carvings offer a glimpse into the ancient Khmer Empire’s architectural style. Then visit Banteay Kdei, known as the "Citadel of Chambers." Its long corridors, intricate carvings, and meditative atmosphere make it a peaceful spot for quiet exploration.

Day 2: Beng Mealea Jungle Trek & Remote Temples
Embark on a guided trek through the jungle to Beng Mealea
Trek through dense jungle trails to Beng Mealea, a massive and largely unrestored temple complex. The temple's collapsed walls, scattered stone blocks, and overgrown vegetation create an atmosphere of adventure and mystery. Thick vines and moss-covered stones line the path as you navigate through dark passageways and hidden courtyards. The temple’s scale and state of disrepair give you the feeling of stepping into a lost world.

Continue your trek to smaller hidden temples such as Chau Say Tevoda and Thommanon
Follow the forest trail to Chau Say Tevoda and Thommanon, two smaller yet beautifully preserved temples. Built in the 12th century, they feature detailed carvings of Hindu gods and celestial dancers. The quiet setting, surrounded by towering trees and mossy stone paths, adds to the sense of seclusion and discovery.

Enjoy a picnic lunch in the forest before exploring the Rolous Group
Rest and recharge with a traditional Khmer-style picnic in the shade of the forest. Afterward, head to the Rolous Group, which marks the beginning of classical Khmer architecture. Explore Bakong, the first temple mountain built from sandstone, and admire its detailed carvings of nagas and guardian figures. Lolei, once situated on an artificial island, showcases intricate carvings and Sanskrit inscriptions.

Day 3: Kulen Mountain & Kbal Spean (River of a Thousand Lingas)
Hike through the lush forests of Phnom Kulen
Begin your day with a scenic hike through the dense tropical forests of Phnom Kulen, considered the birthplace of the ancient Khmer Empire. The trail winds through bamboo groves, cascading streams, and natural rock formations. The sound of birds and rustling leaves creates a peaceful soundtrack to your journey.

Swim in the waterfall and explore ancient carvings at the River of a Thousand Lingas
Cool off with a refreshing swim beneath Phnom Kulen’s picturesque waterfall. The water cascades into a natural pool surrounded by dense foliage. Nearby, explore the River of a Thousand Lingas, where hundreds of carvings of lingas (symbols of Shiva) are etched into the riverbed. The carvings, submerged beneath the flowing water, reflect ancient Hindu symbolism and the spiritual significance of the site.

Visit the massive reclining Buddha at Preah Ang Thom
End the day at Preah Ang Thom, home to a giant reclining Buddha carved into the rock face. Draped in saffron cloth, the serene expression of the Buddha overlooks the surrounding forest, creating a sense of calm and reverence. Locals often gather here to offer incense and prayers, adding to the spiritual atmosphere.

Day 4: Kampong Phluk Floating Village & Wildlife Encounter
Take a boat ride through the stilted village of Kampong Phluk on Tonle Sap Lake
Experience the unique lifestyle of Kampong Phluk, a village built entirely on stilts above Tonle Sap Lake. During the dry season, the towering stilted houses rise above the water, while in the wet season, the village becomes a floating community. Drift past fishing boats and wooden houses painted in bright colors as local families go about their daily routines.

Explore the flooded forest and observe local fishermen and floating markets
Navigate through the flooded forest of Kampong Phluk, where trees emerge from the water, creating a surreal and peaceful environment. Fishermen cast their nets from traditional wooden boats, and local vendors paddle through the canals selling fresh produce and handmade crafts. The natural beauty and vibrant community life offer a glimpse into Cambodia’s deep connection to the lake.

In the evening, enjoy a traditional Khmer dinner with a local family
End the day with an authentic Khmer dinner hosted by a local family. Share a meal of freshly caught fish, fragrant rice, and local vegetables prepared with traditional spices and flavors. The warm hospitality and intimate setting provide a meaningful connection to Cambodian culture and daily life.

Day 5: Koh Ker & Jungle Camping
Travel to the remote temple complex of Koh Ker
Journey to Koh Ker, a remote and ancient temple complex surrounded by dense forest. Koh Ker was once the capital of the Khmer Empire and features over 180 sanctuaries scattered throughout the jungle. Climb the seven-tiered Prang temple (Prasat Thom), which rises 36 meters above the treetops, offering panoramic views of the surrounding wilderness. The temple’s steep steps and intricate carvings of Garuda, nagas, and celestial beings highlight the architectural mastery of the Khmer Empire.

Set up camp in the jungle and enjoy a traditional campfire dinner under the stars
As the sun sets over Koh Ker, set up camp beneath the towering trees of the jungle. A traditional Khmer campfire dinner includes grilled meat, sticky rice, and fresh tropical fruits. The crackling of the fire and the sounds of the jungle create a serene and immersive experience. Gaze at the stars above the dense forest canopy and reflect on the adventure-filled journey through Cambodia’s ancient wonders and hidden landscapes.
