More information regarding the schedule and meeting point of the first/last day will be provided after booking.

day 1

PHNOM PENH

Welcome to Phnom Penh, in Cambodia. Our adventure begins with a welcome meeting tonight at 6:00 PM. If you arrive early, perhaps take a stroll through the streets of Phnom Penh, admiring the interesting French colonial architecture. Tonight's dinner will be at a local restaurant along the river and may include dishes such as beef lok lak or fish amok. Enjoy getting to know your fellow travelers over delicious Cambodian specialties.

Airport transfer included. Dinner included. The transfer upon arrival is valid only if you arrive on day 1 or if you have booked accommodation before the trip through Intrepid. Please provide your flight details at the time of booking or at least 14 days before the trip, as we may not be able to confirm a request made within 14 days of the trip. It is very important that you attend the welcome meeting because at this time we will collect insurance details and next of kin information. In case of delay, notify the travel agent or the hotel reception. Ask the reception or look for a note in the lobby for more information on where the meeting will take place. If you cannot arrange a flight that arrives in time, you might want to arrive a day earlier so you can attend. We will be happy to book additional accommodation for you (subject to availability).

day 2

PHNOM PENH

Today a full city tour introduces us to the attractions of Phnom Penh, a city located near the confluence of the Mekong and Tonle Sap rivers. The private quarters of the Royal Palace are home to King Sihamoni and are closed to the public. However, you can visit the Silver Pagoda within the palace complex, which is the country's most sacred temple. Phnom Penh remains a living relic of the country's past struggles and achievements. Your included visits to the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum (S21) and the Choeung Ek Killing Fields tell the story of the tragic legacy of the Khmer Rouge. Tuol Sleng was a former school that served as a torture center for the Khmer Rouge, and it is estimated that over 20,000 people were detained and tortured here. The Choeung Ek Killing Fields house a stupa made up of about 8,000 human skulls, marking the site of the infamous location. This was the execution site of the victims of Tuol Sleng's torture, and standing in this peaceful setting, it's almost unthinkable to imagine that to this day nearly 9,000 bodies have been exhumed from the area. The visits are important parts of the experience here, but if you do not wish to visit them, please inform your leader. An optional visit to Wat Phnom, the temple that gave rise to the city's founding in the 15th century, is planned. After today's activities, you might spend this evening relaxing at a café on the riverfront.

Breakfast included. Lunch and dinner on your own. Included activities: Phnom Penh - Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum (S21) - Phnom Penh - Choeung Ek Killing Fields - Phnom Penh - Royal Palace and Silver Pagoda. Optional activities not included.

day 3

SIEM REAP

Our journey continues towards Siem Reap (about 7 hours, including stops). Along the way, we stop at a local village restaurant for a tasty lunch. Arrival in the small but expanding city of Siem Reap, the gateway to Angkor and the most popular destination for travelers throughout Cambodia, perhaps even in Southeast Asia. You'll probably notice a change of pace here, so take a walk and enjoy the atmosphere. A visit to the old market is a must, even if you're not looking for souvenirs, wandering among the stalls and the surrounding shops with their silks, cottons, sarongs, silver, and statues is a riot of colors and a feast for the eyes – and there will be one for your stomach too if you try some of the cheap and delicious street food! There's also a long tradition of shadow theatre in the region.

Breakfast and lunch included. Dinner not included. Transfers included. Activities included: Siem Reap - Orientation walk guided by the tour leader.

day 4

SIEM REAP – ANGKOR WAT

We spend an entire day visiting the incredible temples of Angkor on a guided exploration. Angkor Wat is the largest and most complete structure and the only one of the Angkor temples that faces west, while the others face east. Of all the temples visited today, Bayon is the centerpiece, with over 200 smiling faces carved and more than 50 gothic towers. Visit an ancient monastery where you will meet a Buddhist monk and take part in a ritual that has survived for thousands of years. Sit on the floor as the monk chants and sprinkles holy water on you before tying a sacred thread around your wrist, ensuring you protection and good luck for the rest of your journey. For lunch, we will visit the Sala Bai Hotel School, where disadvantaged local youths learn skills that enable them to find gainful employment in the hospitality industry. Later, you will head to Ta Prohm, a temple where nature has taken over, as large trees have been embedded into the stone foundations of the structure. We end the day with a view of the sunset over the temples: an extraordinary way to see the sunset.

Breakfast and lunch included. Dinner not included. Activities included: Siem Reap - Lunch at Sala Bai - Siem Reap - Three-day Angkor Pass - Siem Reap - Guided tour of the Angkor temples - Siem Reap - Temple blessing. The Sala Bai hotel school is closed on public holidays and school holidays, so an alternative restaurant will be used on these days.

day 5

SIEM REAP – ANGKOR WAT

We kick off the day with an optional chance to visit the Angkor complex at dawn. Today, we'll explore the Banteay Srei temple. It may not be a massive temple, but its intricate stone carvings have earned it the nickname 'the jewel in the crown of Angkorian art'. Later this afternoon, we delve into the daily life of Cambodians with a village tour. Marvel at the rice fields and family gardens surrounding traditional stilt houses. Be welcomed into a local home as you join for a sunset drink. This evening, we savor a final farewell dinner with our travel companions and one last night of delicious Cambodian cuisine at a specially selected restaurant.

Breakfast and dinner included. Lunch not included. Included activities: Siem Reap - Visit to Banteay Srei Temple - Siem Reap - Guided tour of the Angkor temples - Siem Reap - Visit to the village. Optional activities not included.

day 6

After breakfast, you are free to leave at any time, as no activities are scheduled for today. If you wish to spend more time in Siem Reap, we would be happy to arrange additional accommodation for you (subject to availability), otherwise our journey in Cambodia ends here. Until the next tour!

Important things to know

Trip features

General trip information

Remember to bring a valid passport with an expiration date not less than 6 months at the time of entry into the country.

We ask you to report any allergies and/or food intolerances immediately after booking.

The itinerary may undergo some changes before and/or during the trip.

The stories and history shared at the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum (S21) and the Killing Fields of Choeung Ek are confronting, and many travelers will find them shocking. This is an important part of Cambodia's recent history that we believe is important for travelers to be aware of. If you prefer not to participate in these activities, your leader can suggest some optional alternatives.

I will visit a number of temples on this trip, and this requires a level of modesty. Make sure to bring clothes that cover your arms and pants or skirts that go below the knees. A light scarf is also a good idea to cover shoulders and arms when it's hot.

A single supplement is available if you prefer not to share a room during this trip. The single supplement applies to all nights of the trip and is subject to availability. Please speak with your booking agent for more information.

A complimentary airport arrival transfer is included; valid if you arrive on day 1 or if you have booked pre-tour accommodation through us. You must provide your flight details to your booking agent at least 14 days prior to travel.

Please provide your full name exactly as it appears on your passport when making a reservation (including any middle names listed on the passport) for tourist tickets.
