Amble to Angkor
Cambodia’s ancient Khmer temples at Angkor represent one of the most impressive and well-preserved ancient sites in the world. And even though they’ve survived for centuries, Cambodia’s political stability and the construction of the high-end Grand Hotel d’Angkor make now the best time to see them in person. This addition to our Vietnam trip dedicates two full days to exploring the temples—and you’ll need them both to fully appreciate these incredible man-made wonders.
Day 1 After lunch at the Grand Hotel d’Angkor, wander the majestic temple of Angkor Wat with an expert local guide
Day 2 Visit the Buddhist temple of Bayon the way the ancients did—via elephant—then explore the temple of Banteay Srei in the late afternoon, when the crowds have gone home and the light is at its best
Day 3 Delve deep into the jungle to see the temple of Ta Prohm before flying off to Ho Chi Minh City
Day 4 Breakfast in Ho Chi Minh City, then chào ban to your fellow travellers as you embark on your Vietnam Walking adventure
