Spend a day traversing Angkor’s greatest temples and the floating villages of Tonle Sap. This guided tour combines UNESCO monuments with a boat ride into village life and the lake’s shifting wetlands.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the minivan into a wash of stone, damp with morning shadow and the faint resinous breath of frangipani. Angkor Wat’s galleried ramps rise like an engineered mountain, and the guide’s voice threads history into the carved stone as light slices the bas-reliefs.

History
Angkor Wat was built in the early 12th century under Suryavarman II and later repurposed as a Buddhist center; Angkor Thom and Bayon were expanded under Jayavarman VII in the late 12th–13th centuries.
Conservation
Visitor management and conservation programs aim to protect bas-reliefs and stone structures; Tonle Sap faces ecological pressure from seasonal fishing, deforestation, and development, so low-impact tourism practices are encouraged.
