The tour starts from the South gate of Angkor Thom, the last capital city of the Khmer Empire, built by the great Khmer king Jayavaraman VII at the end of the 12th century. It covers an area of 9 km2 surrounded by walls and moats. Inside the city there are several temples: the Bayon, the Baphoun, the Royal Palace, the Terrace of the Elephant and Terrace of the Leper King. Later continue to the Ta Prohm temple, lost in the jungle and covered by tropical trees. The temple was featured in the movie “Tomb Raider”, and it makes visitors feel like Henri Mahout, the first adventurer to rediscover Angkor temples by accident in 1860.

In the morning, after breakfast, departure from Siem Reap to Battambang. Upon arrival in Battambang check in at the hotel and start the tour of the city. Battambang is the second largest city in Cambodia, known as the Capital of the West; it still retains a provincial attitude and it’s characterised by the colonial architecture and the laid-back atmosphere of a traditional rural community. Admire the wooden houses (some of them more than 100-year old) that pass from one generation to the next. Then, ride the Bamboo Train: a small bamboo-made platform on wheels that travels on wobbly rails left from an abandoned rail-road, propelled by a small but powerful motor. Lunch break (not included). Visit the 12th century temples of Phnom Banan and Phnom Sampov and the famous natural bat cave in Phnom Sampov: every day at evening thousands of bats fly out of the cave to come back early in the morning. You will be amazed by the show of the long line of flying bats. Overnight in Battambang.

In the morning after breakfast transfer to visit Cheung Ek Killing fields, the historical site near Phnom Penh where the Khmer Rouge regime perpetrated mass killings from 1975 to 1979. Our professional tour guide will explain you more about the place and the history behind it; after that continue to visit the Toul Sleng, the Genocide Museum that testifies the bloody Khmer Rouge regime and the tragic genocide perpetrated against the Cambodian population itself, guilty of being able to read and write, wear glasses, be teachers, doctors, professionals, or just being able to speak foreign languages; it is estimated that about three million people out of twelve were tortured and killed over four years until 1979. Then visit the Wat Phnom, the birthplace of Phnom Penh, set on top of a hill and popular with devotees who gather here to pray and consult the fortune-tellers, palm readers and soothsayers.
