Angkor Wat to Siem Reap Floating Village – What to Expect

A Remarkable Adventure Combining Khmer History and Lakeside Life

Our journey through the Angkor Archaeological Park reveals the impressive wealth and cosmopolitanism of the ancient Khmer Empire. Spanning AD 802-1431, this sophisticated civilization left behind one of history’s most extensive urban settlements.

We then contrast the stone temples from centuries past with the vibrant floating habitats on the nearby Tonlé Sap, learning how lake communities sustain their traditional lifestyles across generations.

• Roam the intricate sandstone corridors of Angkor Wat, the world’s largest religious monument, and admire its iconic architecture.
• Marvel at the towering temple mountain Bakong, part of Angkor’s earlier Roluos group, with its richly carved Hindu depictions.
• Cruise through Kampong Phluk’s stilted fishing village, where life not only floats on the lake itself but even beneath it in flooded forests.
• Hop aboard a traditional wooden boat to navigate through these unique floating worlds, getting an up-close glimpse of lake life.

9:00 AM – Arrive at Angkor Wat

11:30 AM – Bakong Temple

• Winding staircases invite you to climb higher for panoramic views from the very top. Marvel at the carved sculptures of Hindu deities and get lost wandering the dimly lit interior passageways.

13:00 AM – Prasat Lolei

• Next we’ll carry onto Prasat Lolei, a quaint but wonderfully preserved temple with intricate carvings throughout the sandstone structures. Built in the 9th century, this lesser-visited site allows you to experience the ancient temples without the crowds.

15:00 PM – Kampong Phluk Floating Village

After a scenic drive through rural villages and miles of vibrant green rice fields, we’ll arrive at the boat dock where we’ll take a ride out to Kampong Phluk. 
• Witness the wooden homes, stores, restaurants, and more that fluctuate with the seasons, rising and falling with the lake level. Local boat drivers will take us through the flooded forest into the mangrove trees to get an upclose look at this completely unique way of life.
• We’ll take some time to wander the boardwalks of Kampong Phluk, interacting with locals and perhaps picking up some handicrafts or snacks before we board our boat back around 6 PM. Relax and take in the views of the cambodian countryside across the lake waters.
