We will take you to the Angkor National Museum, where you can see the artifacts that were found during the excavation of Angkor. We will then head to the Artisans Angkor Center so that we can see and learn how the ancient Khmer people made beautiful wood and stone carvings on the walls of the Angkor temples.

Following lunch, we'll explore the west side of Siem Reap town, where you'll find the Cambodia Silk Farm, one of the prime spots for Cambodian handicraft shopping. All items are made with high-quality materials that never fail to impress. Before returning to the city, we will stop at the largest artificial lake in Angkor, West Baray. This is a large reservoir that is believed to have been originally constructed as a water management and irrigation system for an area of rice fields to the north. In the late afternoon, we will take a quad bike adventure (ATV) through the local villages, watching water buffalo grazing and rice paddies at sunset.

In the afternoon, we will have lunch near the Angkor Wat temple. Then we visit the fascinating Angkor Wat, the most significant sacred building on the planet and an icon of the Khmer civilization. It was built by King Suyavarman and is dedicated to the Hindu god Vishnu. It contains hundreds of decorations that cover the walls and the longest bas-relief in the world. A giant moat surrounds it, and its five towers are part of the Cambodian flag, and from the top, you can see the impressive and dense jungle.
