Along the way, engage with local communities, uncover the layers of Cambodian heritage, and embrace the harmony of culture, spirituality, and natural beauty.

DAY 1: SIEM REAP ARRIVAL & TONLE SAP TOUR (KAMPONG PHLUK)
Upon arrival Siem Reap airport, our guide and driver will transfer you to hotel for check in.
Afternoon, we go out to visit the rural Cambodia tour out of town to Tonle Sap Lake. Upon reaching the lake’s shores, travel by boat to Kampong Phluk. This village is further away than most and thus receives fewer tourists. Board a local boat and visit Kampong Phluck, a village where you will see houses on stilts that are submerged when Tonlé Sap Lake extends. On the way, you will pass floating houses and impressive flooded forests, portraying life on the water and enjoy views of the lake from a different perspective.
