Description

Discover Cambodia's wonders on a 3-day private tour from Siem Reap. Explore Angkor Wat, visit Banteay Srei, and ride the Bamboo Train in Battambang.
Day 1: Angkor Wat Sunrise and Small Circuit Tour

Begin with an early morning visit to Angkor Wat to witness the sunrise. Watch the first light appear behind the iconic temple towers before exploring the magnificent galleries, bas-reliefs, and ancient architecture.

Continue through the Angkor Small Circuit, visiting Bayon Temple, famous for its mysterious smiling faces, and Ta Prohm, the atmospheric jungle temple where enormous tree roots embrace the ancient ruins. Along the way, discover the ancient gates, terraces, and forest scenery of the Angkor Archaeological Park.

Enjoy a relaxing local lunch before returning to your hotel in the afternoon.

Day 2: Banteay Srei and Grand Circuit Tour

Travel beyond the main Angkor complex to discover the beautiful Banteay Srei Temple, renowned for its pink sandstone and exceptionally detailed carvings. The peaceful surroundings provide a different atmosphere from the larger Angkor temples.

The Grand Circuit tour is a ~30km, full-day, or multi-day Angkor Archaeological Park route focusing on larger, quieter, and more remote temples north of Angkor Thom, acting as a perfect, less-crowded follow-up to the Small Circuit.

Enjoy a traditional local lunch and return to Siem Reap after a relaxed day of cultural discovery.

Day 3: Siem Reap to Battambang and Bamboo Train Adventure

Travel from Siem Reap to Battambang, enjoying the changing scenery of Cambodia’s countryside along the way.

Upon arrival, experience the famous Battambang Bamboo Train, a unique and memorable ride through the countryside on a simple bamboo platform. Enjoy the surrounding rice fields, villages, and peaceful rural landscapes while experiencing one of Cambodia’s most distinctive local attractions.

Continue exploring Battambang with visits to selected cultural and historical sites, local communities, and scenic countryside. Depending on your interests and available time, the day can include a local market, traditional villages, or other highlights around Battambang.
