| After breakfast, we travel 37km through typical Khmer village at the countryside to visit Banteay Srey. Built in 967 AD by  the great King Rajendravarman II, dedicated to Siva God. It is unique pink sandstone temple with stunningly decorated and inpristine condition. On the way back to Siem Reap we may sample some traditional palm sugar sweets from a roadside seller. We can then visit Banteay Samre, built by the architect of Suryavarman II who built Angkor Wat. In the afternoon we could take a Tonle Sap boat cruise to visit the floating village and see the surprising cultures of the people living there. It can be very photogenic at the lake. On the return journey to Siem Reap we would recommend visiting the Artisan Centre and market…etc.

| After breakfast we shall drive to Kulen Mountain, the first holy city of Jayavarman II, the God king and the founder of the Angkor period in 802 AD. This is one of the sacred mountain in Cambodia. In the river on the mountain we can see extensive river carvings. Thousands of Shiva’s Lingams were carved into the river bed in early 9th century to purify the water that runs over them.
 Moreover we can also see a large Buddha statue (3m x 8m) carved from the rock. This dates from around the 16th century when Buddhism became popular in Cambodia. We will lunch locally.
On the return journey to Siem Reap after 12pm, there are plenty of opportunities to stop and look around, take photographs of the countryside and understand the local agriculture and sample locally made sugar sweets. After we get into Siem Reap we may have chance to see war museum or town if you are not exhausted.
Naturally we shall bring you to airport / ferry or bus station for your departure. End of Service, Good luck !!!
