All-Inclusive Reverse Route: Kulen, Beng Mealea & Tonle Sap

Highlights

Inclusions

Itinerary

1. Your adventure begins with an early morning pickup from your hotel in Siem Reap. Travel through picturesque countryside, passing rice fields and traditional villages before arriving at Beng Mealea Temple shortly after opening time. Hidden beneath giant tree roots and surrounded by jungle, this 12th-century temple offers one of Cambodia's most atmospheric experiences. Exploring in the morning means cooler weather, better lighting for photographs, and far fewer visitors than later in the day.

   2 h

2. Phnom Kulen National Park, considered the birthplace of the Khmer Empire. Enjoy scenic mountain views as you make your way to the sacred River of a Thousand Lingas, where hundreds of ancient carvings can be seen beneath the flowing water. Visit Preah Ang Thom and its impressive reclining Buddha, one of Cambodia's most important pilgrimage sites and a fascinating glimpse into local spiritual traditions.

   2 h

3. journey to Tonle Sap Lake, Southeast Asia's largest freshwater lake, and explore the unique village of Kompong Phluk. Depending on the season, cruise among towering stilt houses and flooded mangrove forests or discover the exposed wooden stilts and hidden pathways that reveal daily life in this extraordinary community.

About Siem Reap

Siem Reap is the riverside town beside Angkor, Cambodia's vast complex of Khmer temples, with night markets, river walks and a relaxed centre.

Angkor Wat, often called the largest religious monument in the world, rises above its moat in a silhouette of lotus-bud towers that is breathtaking at sunrise. Nearby, the walled city of Angkor Thom holds the Bayon, with its more than two hundred serene stone faces, the Terrace of the Elephants and the Baphuon, while Ta Prohm is gripped by the roots of giant silk-cotton and strangler fig trees.
