Active Angkor Getaway Tour

Suor sdei! Arrive at Siem Reap and check in at the hotel at 2:00 pm. Your local guide will meet and brief you on the itinerary and also collect contact information and travel insurance. Start your trip by walking with the local guide past Raffles Grand Hotel Dángkor. Watch the lovely sunset and the sky full of fruit bats in front of the hotel. Stop to make a Buddhist offering at Preah Ang Chek and Peah Ang Chom pagoda and the shrine to Yeh Tep. People here believe that a wish made at Yeh comes true, so do wish for something if you believe. Keep an eye on novice Monks along the River hurrying back to the pagoda after school. Finish the day in the center of the bustling town. Shop for local goodies, take a nice Khmer or fish massage and enjoy flavorful local food in one of the wonderful restaurants.
