day 1
Phnom Penh, a smooth arrivalYou will be welcomed at the airport and you will settle into your hotel. First unusual discovery of the city of Phnom Penh, depending on your level of fatigue and your arrival time. We will invite you to dinner to discover the local cuisine and flavors, and to end this first day beautifully.
day 2
Unusual Phnom PenhThis day is dedicated to visiting Phnom Penh, an unusual city. Depending on your mood, you will have a multitude of choices: a stroll through the winding market; a visit to Wat Phnom (a wooded hill topped with a very beautiful pagoda, the serenity of the place strongly contrasting with the hustle and bustle of the city. Sellers of lucky birds and lotus flowers will be waiting for you there). Other points of interest: the old French quarter of the city, the Olympic stadium to visit at sunset, or a walk along the quays by the Mekong. You can reach these sites on foot or by tuk-tuk, depending on your preferences and the weather conditions!
day 3
Phnom Penh - Tonlé Sap Lake - BattambangAfter breakfast, departure from Phnom Penh to Kompong Chnang (2h drive). On today's program: visit the potters' villages to discover this typical local craft. Then, drive to Kompong Luong (2h drive) and its floating village. You will visit this village by boat.
day 4
The artisans of BattambangThis day will be dedicated to discovering local artisanal life, a total immersion in Cambodian life. By tuk-tuk, you will discover the artisans of the region and their specialties: wood carving, making rice papers, dried bananas, prahok (Khmer condiment made from fermented fish), and many others! Then, in the afternoon, you will attend a Cambodian cooking class; of course, you will taste your creations for dinner!
day 5
Battambang - Siem ReapYou will leave in the morning towards Siem Reap (3h drive). After settling in at the hotel, you will visit the Angkor National Museum (audio guide in French), as an introduction to visiting the temples. We recommend this museum for its very educational setup; you will discover the history of the Khmer kingdom and see the statues and bas-reliefs that are no longer visible on the sites, which you will then be able to visualize in situ.
day 6
Siem Reap - the temples of AngkorThis day will be dedicated to discovering the temples of Angkor. To avoid the crowds, we will make it a point to create a personalized itinerary for you! This way, you will be able to discover the temples in the best possible way. After a bit of rest, the afternoon will be devoted to discovering the artisans of Siem Reap, selected by us for their know-how and uniqueness. Art, pottery, accessories, fashion... We can refine our selection of artisans according to your interests. The day will continue with a show by the Phare Ponleu Selpak Circus, which works to rehabilitate local culture and Cambodian art. An unmissable activity!
day 7
Siem Reap - Kulen Mountain and gourmet dinnerEarly morning departure in a private vehicle for Mount Kulen. If you wish, on the way, stop to visit the Banteay Srei temple at sunrise (a little stone gem, entirely sculpted... and very popular, hence our recommendation for an early start!). Mount Kulen is a place where nature is still intact and preserved, and above all a site of sacred contemplation. On today's program: refreshment at the waterfall (depending on the water level, you may be able to swim), visit to the pagoda and the reclining Buddha at the top of the mountain. Finally, you will discover the river of a thousand Lingas, which fertilizes the Cambodian plain... The place is very busy on festival days by Cambodians, but much less visited the rest of the time, which will give you the opportunity to visit it away from the crowds. This visit is in every respect a real spectacle in itself and will allow you to discover another aspect of the region, very well known for the temples of Angkor. In the evening, enjoy high-end Cambodian gastronomy in one of our favorite restaurants in the country, which offers a blend of tradition and modernity in a very intimate setting, for an exceptional tête-à-tête dinner.
day 8
Siem Reap - the temples of AngkorYou will spend your second day on the temples, discovering more remote and less visited places. Once again, we will make sure to create a tailor-made program to avoid the crowds and make the experience unique... The day will start early, and you will spend the hottest hours of the day in a beautiful traditional Cambodian house, exclusively reserved for TOKAE, ideal both for relaxing, discovering life around the temples, and tasting local culinary specialties.
