This tour will take you to see the great lake called the Tonle Sap. You’ll leave Siem Reap town around 8 o’clock in the morning and start the drive out to Kampong Khleang which is a floating village situated on the Tonle Sap Lake. On the way driving there about half an hour, we'll take a first stop at a local market called Dom Dek where you will have chance to eye witness the daily life of local people are doing business. We'll spend there around half an hour.
We then, continue driving another 20minutes more, we'll reach Kampong Phleang floating village. It’s more remote and less touristy than the other floating villages and visitors are often in awe of the tall houses sitting on top of the tall stilts which are clearly visible in the dry season (January to April). During the wet season (May to October) , all these houses are floating on top of the lake.
Kampong Khleang is the largest village and community on the lake with a population around 10 times bigger than the other floating villages on the lake.
After three hours exploring the floating village, we’ll then head back towards Siem Reap town to have a lunch break at a local restaurant before continuing our visit to the Roluos group where we’ll see some the earliest Angkor temples built during the 9th century.
We'll have lunch break around two hours.
We'll restart our tour again by driving around 15minutes to the Roluos Group represents what is left of Hariharalaya, the first major capital city of the Angkor empire. It has subsequently become known as the “Roluos Group” due to its being close to the town of Roluos.
The ancient name comes from the names of the gods Shiva and Vishnu. This capital city was established by King Jayavarman II and was the capital city for the Khmer empire for more than 70 years.
There are three main temples here which we will spend another two to three hours exploring including Lolei, Preah Ko and Bakong temple.
