Itinerary
Siem Reap Angkor International Airport
5 minsAdmission Ticket FreeThe Siem Reap Angkor International Airport is located on the East of Siem Reap City, it is 51 Kilo meters from Siem Reap and very close to Beng Mealea temple.Beng Mealea
1 hoursAdmission Ticket IncludedVisit the most interesting temple outside the Angkor area, King Suryavarman II’s the 11th century Beng Mealea temple – a prototype for the more famous Angkor Wat. Beng Mealea Temple stands almost forgotten in the jungle and getting to the site is quite an adventure in itself. It was isolated during Cambodia’s civil war. It is the largest temple outside the main Angkor complex and in places it is remarkably intact, but in other places it is utterly destroyed; tree roots envelop many of the temple walls and doorways. The atmosphere here is eerie but a welcome contrast to the more visited temples closer to Angkor Wat. Beng Mealea shares many characteristics with Angkor Wat, but on a smaller scale. It has three encircling galleries, the same four gates and entrances, and a pair of interior libraries. It differs from Angkor Wat in having only one central tower instead of the famous five towers of Angkor Wat.Ro Lus Market
40 minsAdmission Ticket Not IncludedYou will also stop to visit a local market which is situated on the Bank of Rolous river. Rolous market is one of the important markets where the local villagers go there in the morning and late afternoon to purchase fresh vegetables, meats, fruit, fresh water fish as well as household items. It’s the oldest Khmer market in that area and a must-visit for those looking to experience the local lifestyle.Kampong Phluk

Along the way, you will stop at some places to explore local villages on foot, meet and talk to the locals..Kampong Phluk Floating Village
40 minsAdmission Ticket IncludedThe community largely depends on fishing for survival, primarily shrimp, spending Cambodia's wet season fishing. Many houses and buildings are constructed on stilts ranging from 6 m to 9 m to accommodate the changes in water level between wet and dry seasons. During the dry season (November-April) as the river thins due to receding water, many turn to farming to supplement their income. Tourism, which started in the village approximately 10 years ago, is also a growing part of the local economy.
