Provide many historical relics about Cambodia history and Khmer Empire. I had a chance to go with tour guide so it was really helpful to understand posted information there.
We visited the park from Sihanoukville. We wanted to do the walk, but there had been a lot of rain overnight, so the park ranger advised we take the boat tour through the mangroves instead. This cost $30 for two people and was well worth it.We had a boat to ourselves and spent around two hours on the river, seeing all kinds of wildlife, including hornbills, a sea eagle, egrets, and some small grey rail-like birds. But the highlight was when we arrived at the viewing tower and saw a troupe of Douc langur monkeys swinging throigh the trees. Then, while at the top of the tower, we saw a stork in the distance. The whole area was also full of amazing dragonflies. And the peace and quiet was astonishing, particularly when you realise the park is right next to Sihanouk airport. Of course, we were incredibly lucky to see so much and, if you decide to visit, you may see more or nothing at all - nature isnt something you can turn on and off like a tap. But, for us it was a truly memorable visit.
This tour was brilliant to contemplate loads of Siem Reap in just 4 days and it’s the best experience we had in Cambodia. Our local tour leader spoke excellent English and took us to all the unique attractions where there was hardly found by any tourists. He was very attentive to make sure we were safe and would inform us what we could and couldn’t do in religious sites. The tour was balanced, we never feel rushed since we could just relax and properly explore the area.
Highlight - the boat trip to Floating Village was great. We learned so much from the rich history and local ways of life in Cambodia.
Really enjoyed this trip. Would definitely recommend. We saw all the major places of Angkor Wat while our tour guide was very good at English and told many interesting facts and stories. We got free water when needed which was nice in the humid heat. They also offered umbrellas. Only minus was that the restaurant they drove us to was a bit overpriced. Overall a very good experience.
I visited Angkor and 2 other temples in a small guided tour group . This to me is a must. Angkor is obviously of a huge part of Cambodian life as it is on their flag and we saw many photographers snapping wedding couples in full attire prior to marriage days. Huge site, many steps, many tourists BUT magical in so many ways- 100% recomended
A GREAT place for both photography and meditation when there are not too many noisy tourists around! Go early or be patient to let big groups of tourists do their things first. Normally, they don’t stay long.
Ni Mol is perfectly organised and friendly tour guide. We enjoyed the time in Cambodia very much with him and we would recommend him to everyone.
I traveled to Cambodia in a bulky knee brace (torn meniscus) and I had no issues with getting around Angkor Wat!! (Used walking sticks too!) ANYWAY... this truly was a place of wonder and WOW with the stone carvings (reliefs?), huge stone walkways and architecture. I wish we could if had a couple days - there was a lot to want to take in and truly experience. I wish I had read up in it before it got there!! I know now there are stories following the “wallpaper” like carvings on the walls- guess I need to go back!!
For those who are deeply interested in cultural and spiritual events, choosing tours and taking part in festivals will be one of the best ways to enjoy holiday.
