3.30 pm – Begin with making a wish at the spiritual Wat Phnom, and wrap up today with a memorable sunset cruise (sharing basis). A trip not to be missed! relax on a wooden boat cruising along the mighty Mekong River. Watch a spectacular sunset over the Phnom Penh skyline and Royal Palace and witness this charming capital’s beauty at dusk.

Today you will discover the glittering Royal Palace and Silver Pagoda, admiring the over 5,000 silver tiles, each weighing about two pounds, covering the floor and the collection of shiny golden Buddhas. Then walk to see the National Museum, home to the country’s most important collection of ancient Cambodian artifacts.

After lunch at a local restaurant, continue to visit the harrowing Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum, a former school turned into the S-21 prison –essentially a torture center – by the murderous Khmer Rouge regime. Next is to explore the notorious killing fields of Choeung Ek, where some 17,000 people met their ends.

(Note: If you wish not to visit these horror sites, you may visit the famous Tuol Tumpong Market “Russian Market”, or the Central Market (Phsar Thmei) which is a unique colonial-style building constructed in 1937)

Move on to visit the nearby triple-tiered mountain temple of the Baphuon, also known as the Pyramid temple in Angkor. From there walk through the shaded parkland to the Terrace of the Elephant, and the Terrace of the Leper King to view their detailed stone carvings.

Today rise early to catch the spectacular sunrise over the world’s largest religious ruins of Angkor Wat and discover this mighty temple at dawn, regarded by many as the quintessential Angkor experience. After exploring the ruins in detail led by your professional tour guide, return to the hotel for a late leisurely breakfast.

This afternoon takes a break from temples, and travel a bit further away from town to explore Kampong Phluk “Harbour of the Tusks”, a fascinating fishing community on the fringes of the magnificent Tonlé Sap Lake.
