About this activity

Combine iconic Angkor archaeological exploration with rare wildlife encounters in Cambodia's remote northeast. This 9-day journey balances bucket-list temple visits—Angkor Wat, Bayon, Ta Prohm—with guided birdwatching expeditions to spot the critically endangered Giant Ibis and other Cambodian fauna in their natural habitat.

Your adventure begins the moment you touch down at Siem Reap International Airport, the gateway to the ancient Khmer Empire. Over the course of nine days, you will immerse yourself in the architectural wonders of Angkor Wat, the world’s largest religious monument, and the mysterious stone faces of Bayon within the Great City of Angkor Thom. You’ll wander through the vine-strangled ruins of Ta Prohm, where nature and history are locked in a timeless embrace, and marvel at the ‘Citadel of Women,’ Banteay Srei, home to the finest pink sandstone carvings ever discovered.

Highlights

  • ✓Sunrise at Angkor Wat, the world's largest religious monument
  • ✓Giant Ibis and wildlife spotting in Preah Vihear Province
  • ✓Stone face carvings and jungle exploration at Bayon and Ta Prohm
  • ✓Intricate pink sandstone sculptures at Banteay Srei temple

  • ✓Immersion in both Khmer heritage and Cambodia's biodiversity hotspots

Insider tips

  • ★Arrive at Angkor Wat 90 minutes before sunrise to secure prime viewing spots and avoid peak crowds
  • ★Hire a local temple guide at Angkor; they reveal hidden passages, restoration details, and historical context missed by generic tours
  • ★Visit Banteay Srei in late afternoon when soft light enhances the pink sandstone carvings' colour and detail
  • ★Birdwatching in Preah Vihear is most productive in early morning (5:30–8:00 am); bring binoculars and a bird identification guide

Good to know

  • •Includes airport transfers and private/minivan transport between sites; confirm vehicle type and group size at booking
  • •Temple entry requires ankle/knee coverage and closed-toe shoes; lightweight, breathable layers recommended for jungle humidity
  • •Bring sun protection (SPF 50+, hat, sunglasses), insect repellent, and a reusable water bottle—refill stations available in towns
  • •Wildlife tours operate in small groups (typically 4–8 people) to minimize disturbance; early starts are mandatory for optimal sightings
  • •Accessibility varies: Angkor temples involve uneven terrain and steep stairs; Preah Vihear birdwatching requires forest walking
