Highlights
Angkor Wat is a massive temple complex located in Cambodia, Southeast Asia. It is one of the most important and famous archaeological sites in the world and is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Angkor Wat is renowned for its stunning architecture, historical significance, and cultural value.
The temple was originally built in the 12th century by the Khmer King Suryavarman II as a Hindu temple dedicated to the god Vishnu. Later, it transitioned into a Buddhist temple towards the end of the 12th century. The name "Angkor Wat" translates to "City Temple" or "Temple City."
- Angkor Wat is not just a single temple; it is part of a much larger archaeological site known as the Angkor Archaeological Park, which contains many other temples and historical structures from the Khmer Empire.
- Today, Angkor Wat is a significant tourist destination, attracting visitors from around the globe who come to marvel at its breathtaking architecture and immerse themselves in its rich history and culture.

Next, visit Srah Srang, the royal pool where King Jayavarman VII bathed in the 12th century. Take a leisurely stroll through a nearby village and enjoy a unique high tea and picnic breakfast in a local house. Experience the warm hospitality of the hosts as they offer fresh fruits, snacks, coffee, and hot tea.

After breakfast, we will embark on a delightful boat ride on the Tonle Sap Lake. As the largest permanent fresh-water lake in Southeast Asia, it eventually merges with the Tonle Sap River, which then joins the Mekong River in Phnom Penh.
During our Angkor tour, we will have the opportunity to witness a unique sight: a fishermen's "floating village." This remarkable village floats on the lake and features various amenities such as floating schools and even a floating police station. It's like a large village that moves from one location to another, adapting to changes in water levels and currents.
