Angkor Wat Discovery Tour

This is the most popular tour out there, and for good reasons. Angkor Wat temple alone is a legitimate reason to visit Cambodia. But the tour includes other great sites as well.

Some of them are the ancient city of Angkor Thom, the giant trees at Ta Prohm temple (the set for Tomb Raider), the Bayon temple (4 mystical faces of Buddha that are oh so famous), the Elephant Terrace, the Terrace of the Leper King, and other lesser known, but equally interesting temples. This introductory tour gives you all you can want from an Angkor Wat tour.

Best price found at The Villa Siem Reap, for $17.50 pp. Yummy lunch, and water throughout the day, included.

Outlying Temple Adventure Tour

This Cambodia  tour allows you to see other ancient temples that are farther away from the town. The main event will be a visit to Banteay Srei, where temple carvings are so detailed and very well preserved. It is touted as the most beaufitul temple of all, and it lives up to its claims.

Also included is a hike through the lush green Cambodian forest to Kbal Spean, where waterfalls and 1000 Linggas on the riverbed await. Banteay Samre, a great temple that is lesser known, is also included.

Best price found at The Villa Siem Reap, for $25 pp. Lunch, and water throughout the day, included.

Kampung Phluk, A Stilted Village By The Lake

A visit to one of the three river villages of the Tonle Sap lake is a must, and Kampung Phluk is one of those villages. You may have seen pictures of river villages, but none will compare with the real experience.

During the wet season when the water level is high, villagers adapt by raising their stilted houses up, as high as 10 meters, to prevent from being flooded. You can see how they based their livelihood on the rising and falling of the Tonle Sap lake, by fishing and shrimp harvesting. This Cambodia tour is our number #1 on our Must See and Do list.

Kampung Khleang, A Floating Village

The farthest river village from Siem Reap, which means hardly any visitors at all. Like Kampung Phluk, Kampung Khleang has for the most part remained the same as they have always been. A visit to this remote village will allow you to see how life really is in a Cambodian village with floating and stilted houses. A great Cambodia tour that you will definitely be memorable.

Best price found at Peace of Angkor, for $35 pp. Lunch not included.

Beng Melea, A Temple Ruins In The Jungle

The ultimate Cambodia adventure tour. A temple that will satisfy any travel adventurer. This great temple has almost no tourist, and you will get the place to yourself. For now, this is one of the best kept secrets of Cambodian magical temples. You must visit before it gets more famous. At this temple, you really can put your "Tomb Raider" hat, because it involves a lot of climbing, over, under, and through fallen walls and tree roots.

On the way, you will also visit several other sites, like the charming Banteay Srei 2, the stone quarry mine on the river, and incense stick production.

A Day In Cambodian village

Visiting Cambodia is not the same as living there. But this tour gives you a chance to be a part of the Cambodian village life for a day. You will get to plant corn or harvest rice, teach English to village kids, spend time with Cambodian villages and have lunch with a local family. Be prepared to enjoy your your day thoroughly. Nothing else will get you a closer look at Cambodian life short of living there. This is a Cambodia tour unlike any other.

Tour found only The Villa Siem Reap, for $30 pp. with part of the proceeds going towards the local village. Lunch, and water throughout the day, included.

Make A Difference, The Other Side of Cambodian Life

Although tourism is flourishing in Siem Reap, most Cambodians still live in poverty. Several non governmental organizations have been created to help their conditions. This tour will show you some organizations that help Cambodians to live a better life.

You will walk through the local streets where people live, visit a school for the disabled, orphanages, AIDS organization that houses the people and teach craft skills, water filter foundation, the Silk farm company that employs many Cambodians, and the pottery workshop. A Cambodia tour that puts Cambodian life in perspective.

Prek Toal Bird Sanctuary

A delight for anyone who is interested in wildlife. Thousands of storks and other birds gather in vast numbers during the dry season. Truly one of the wonders of Asia. The sanctuary is government run, and is quite a distance from Siem Reap. This Cambodia tour leaves early morning to Chong Kneas floating village, and then to take a boat across the Tonle Sap lake to the environment centre.

Best price found at Peace of Angkor, $90 pp (depends on the group size) . Lunch and entrance ticket included.
