PHNOM PENH
From rice paddy to rice paddy and temple to temple, you will reach the Temple of the Black Lady, Prasat Neang Khmau.
Then comes Phnom Penh, the Cambodian capital, which will open the doors to its palaces and pagodas.
Visit the Royal Palace, the Silver Pagoda and the National Museum, finishing at the market where the countless colours and scents of the stalls will sharpen all your senses.

KOMPONG THOM
On the road to Kompong Cham, you will stop at a rubber plantation and a rubber processing factory, then visit a Cham weaving village.
Visit the magnificent temples of Kuha Nokor and Phum Prasat, and the pre-Angkorian temples of Sambor Prei Kuk, with its 100 temples and rural life.

KHOMPONG PHUK – ROLUOS
An experience in the fishing and crocodile-breeding village of Kompong Phuk, where after a walk among schoolchildren, you will also explore the flooded forest by dugout canoe.
Then visit one of the oldest cities in the region, the Roluos group: the source of the Khmer Kingdom.

THE TEMPLES OF ANGKOR
Over two days (and that is the least one can devote to them…), you will immerse yourself in the history of the Khmer Empire by visiting the wondrous temples of Angkor, the oldest religious structure in the world, naturally listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

It is of course possible to extend this discovery by adding a few days to this sample itinerary.

TONLE SAP LAKE & BATTAMBANG
If a reason were needed, Battambang is the pretext for crossing a beautiful stretch of Cambodian countryside made up of rice paddies, temples and villages of traditional houses.
Unless you would rather cross the great lake on a privatised traditional boat as far as Kompong Luong, one of the largest floating villages on Tonle Sap, before continuing on to Battambang (the itinerary will be adapted according to the season).

Tonlé Sap

Le lac Tonlé Sap est situé à une dizaine de kilomètres de la ville de Siem Reap ; son nom signifie "grande rivière d’eau douce" en khmer. Il est le plus grand lac d’eau douce du sud-est asiatique. Il est unique au monde en raison de son système hydraulique, qui se vide et se rempli au grès des moussons. Ses eaux sont très poissonneuses et nourrissent des milliers de pêcheurs.
Plus de trois millions de personne habitent autour du lac et 90% d’entre eux gagnent leur vie de la pêche et de l’agriculture.
Le lac Tonlé Sap fournit beaucoup de biodiversité, il y a plus de 300 espèces de poissons d’eau douce et plus de 100 variétés d’oiseaux d’eau, y compris les cigognes, pélicans, etc...
Découvrez ses villages flottants et leurs habitants.
