A private tour to explore the rich cultural heritage of Cambodia. This experience takes you into the magnificent nature of Beng Mealea and Kampong Phluk encounters.

Today we visit the most interesting Beng Mealea temple and Fishing Villages.. Departing your hotel at 8.00 am, drive through scenic rural villages to Kampong Phluk Floating village. Along the way, you will stop some places for photoshoots or to taste seasoning fruit and bamboo sticky rice. Board a boat to visit Floating villages. Lake Tonle Sap is the lifeblood of Cambodia, one of the world’s largest freshwater bodies, and home to hundreds of families living in floating fishing villages. With an expert introduction from your guide, learn about the remarkable lifestyles of Cambodian “Khmer” fishing communities and see an entirely different side of Cambodia. See floating villages, fishing nets being mended, children are swimming and playing, and even floating pigpens, and other fishing activities. We continue through a second section out onto the massive lake, past local fishermen and an amazing array of boats where we will stop at a local floating restaurant for a rest room. After the 1-hour boat ride, and we drive to Beng Mealea (Boeng Mealea). Early afternoon we arrive at King Suryavarman II’s the11th century Beng Mealea temple – a prototype for the more famous Angkor Wat. Beng Mealea Temple stands almost forgotten in a jungle and getting to the site is quite an adventure in itself. It was isolated during Cambodia’s civil war. It is the largest temple outside the main Angkor’s complex, and in places, it is remarkably intact, but in other places utterly destroyed; tree roots envelop many of the temple walls and doorways. The atmosphere here is eerie but welcome contrast to the more visited temples closer to Angkor Wat. Beng Mealea shares many characteristics with Angkor Wat, but on a smaller scale. It has three encircling galleries, the same four gates and entrances, and a pair of interior libraries. It differs from Angkor Wat in having only one central tower instead of the famous five towers of Angkor Wat. Next, you will visit the Banteay Srei temple. Banteay Srei is built largely of red sandstone, a medium that lends itself to the elaborate decorative wall carvings which are still observable today. Banteay Srei was the only major temple at Angkor not built by a Monarch, it was built by a King’s counselor in the 10th century. It is an intricately carved and well-preserved Temple. The detailed reliefs on this sandstone structure are the finest, most skillfully crafted in Cambodia. In the late afternoon, return to town after a memorable day’s exploration. This is an amazing and mixed-activity trip “All in One Journey” and will keep you entertained, and provide you with new experiences, a great insight into the culture and history of Cambodia. This is a private tour, “everything is flexible to your needs”.
