Siem Reap & Angkor Wat Independent Short Break

Discover the secrets of Cambodia’s hotspots, from Angkor Wat to Siem Reap

Uncover the secrets of Cambodia’s mystical Angkor Wat region during three full days of exploration on a five-day Short Break Adventure. Investigate sacred temples from Angkor Wat to Ta Prohm with a knowledgeable local guide. Be awed not only by the ruins but by stories of god-kings and lost civilisations, ancient mythology and fascinating folklore. Trek through the dense, steamy Cambodian jungle to admire Hindu sculptures that were carved into a riverbed over a thousand years ago, sample plenty of spicy Khmer dishes and meet locals in stilted villages. This is the perfect addition to any holiday in South East Asia!
