Koh Ker Day Trip
After being picked up from your hotel in Siem Reap, you'll head towards the northeast. This guided private tour will take you to some of Cambodia's magical architectural wonders.

Phnom Kulen Day Trip
If you choose this excursion, you'll be taken to the Phnom Kulen National Park, situated around the sacred mountains of the same name. There, you'll visit the ancient city of Mahendraparvata.

Admire the statue of the reclining Buddha, the Beng Mealea temple, and the beautiful waterfalls in which you can take a refreshing dip.
Sambor Prei Kuk Day Trip
On this tour, you'll set off from Siem Reap to the magnificent Sambor Prei Kuk archaeological park, considered to be the oldest temple complex in Cambodia - older even than the famous sanctuaries of Angkor! Immerse yourself in the fascinating history of its impressive altars and intricate bas-reliefs, all incredibly well-preserved for having been built between the 6th and 9th centuries. Explore the jungle that is slowly taking over the ancient temples.
