About
This full-day tour from Siem Reap explores two very different sides of Cambodia. First, it visits Roluos, the early capital of Hariharalaya, where you can see Preah Ko, Bakong, and Lolei, the ancient temples that mark the earliest style of Khmer architecture. The day continues with a boat journey on Tonle Sap Lake to Kampong Phluk, a floating village of stilt houses, mangrove forests and floating schools, where local life follows the rhythm of the lake. You return with a sunset over the water. The tour includes shared round-trip hotel transfers within Siem Reap, an English-speaking guide, and the Tonle Sap boat ride. Admission to Roluos Temples is not included and must be purchased at the temple. The tour lasts about 9 hours and is capped at 15 guests. Dress respectfully for the temples: shoulders, back and knees should be covered.
