Enjoy your breakfast at your hotel. After breakfast, continue your trip out of town through the Cambodian countryside, passing picturesque landscapes of green and golden fields (depending on the season), dotted with traditional villages, local schools, pagodas, rice paddies, palm trees, as well as mango and cashew farms.
Our first stop is Banteay Srei Temple, one of the most beautifully carved and best-preserved temples in Cambodia. Known as the “Citadel of Women,” Banteay Srei is admired for its intricate pink sandstone carvings, considered some of the finest and most detailed in the country. Once inaccessible due to conflict, the temple has only been open to visitors since the late 1990s.
Continue to Kulen Mountain, a sacred site and the birthplace of the ancient Khmer Empire. Begin a short trek to visit the River of a Thousand Lingams, where countless carvings of Hindu deities and Shiva Lingas are etched into the riverbed. These sacred carvings, believed to be nearly a thousand years old, are said to bless the flowing water. Climb to the hilltop Buddhist pagoda to admire the giant Reclining Buddha, impressively carved from a single sandstone boulder. This statue is one of the largest of its kind in Cambodia and holds deep spiritual significance.
Afterwards, descend to the foot of the mountain to visit Kulen Waterfall, a stunning natural spot perfect for cooling off. You can swim in the refreshing water, relax by the falls, or capture beautiful photos with a lush, tropical backdrop. Enjoy lunch near the waterfall (on your account), followed by some free time for swimming or relaxing.
Later, drive to Beng Mealea, a mysterious and sprawling jungle temple often referred to as the “lost temple.” Built in the early 12th century during the reign of King Suryavarman II, it has remained untouched and unrestored, offering a true sense of exploration. Walk among crumbled galleries, climb over moss-covered stones, and discover hidden carvings as you experience the raw beauty and forgotten grandeur of this Angkorian-era site. Back to your hotel in Siem Reap.
Day 15

Kampong Phluk Floating Village - Discover floating villages and a way of life shaped by the rhythm of the water.
Trip Includes: Private transportation - premium accommodation, breakfast, entrance fees, local culture expert.
Enjoy your breakfast at your hotel. Continue your trip to Kampong Phluk Floating Village, located 33 km north-south of Siem Reap. The villages are primarily Khmer and have about 3000 inhabitants between them. The flooded mangrove forest surrounding the area is home to a variety of wildlife, including crab-eating macaques. During the dry season, when the lake is low (March – July), the buildings in the villages seem to soar atop their 6- 6-meter stilts exposed by the lack of water. At this time of year, many of the villagers move out onto the lake and build temporary houses.
In the wet season, when the water level rises (Aug – February), the villagers move back to their permanent houses on the floodplain, the stilts now hidden under the water. Kampong Phluk's economy is, as one might expect, based on fishing, primarily in shrimp harvesting. Back to your hotel in Siem Reap
