Day 02: Siem Reap

Rise early this morning for a sunrise 60-minute private yoga class led by Navutu’s in-house yoga master. After breakfast, discover the temples of Angkor in a unique way — by bicycle. Your guide will lead a special trip through the jungle ruins and take you on less-traveled paths to some of the most renowned sites in Angkor.

Start by cycling out of Siem Reap, then reach the Angkor Archaeological Park, and finally to the famous Angkor Wat. Continue to the ancient city of Angkor Thom and admire its monumental construction. Afterward, continue to magnificent Bayon Temple. After this spiritual experience, back to Siem Reap for an organic lunch at the Niam Niam restaurant before we spend our afternoon unwinding at leisure. A 60-minute body oil or foot massage is consisted of after the morning’s cycling.

Day 03: Siem Reap

Rising early this morning, take part in a sunrise pranayama meditation session at Wat Athvear and learn a series of breathing techniques essential for deep meditation and samadhi, the path to self-realization. A professional meditation specialist will lead the session. After an amazing experience, back to the hotel for breakfast.

Then wander around the temple park and continue Angkorian exploration. En route, stop at Wat Preah Prom Rath, one of the most splendid pagodas in Siem Reap. Back to Siem Reap for lunch at the beautiful riverside Chanrey Tree restaurant for some of the most refined Cambodian cuisine in Siem Reap, before heading back to the hotel for a little time to unwind and a 60-minute spa treatment.

The day ends as we spend 2 hours walking around Kompheim village, which gives an insight into village life and the challenges faced by rural Cambodians. You will have a chance to interact with local people, visit their homes, learn how they live, cook and eat, gain firsthand insight into the different levels of poverty in Cambodia. Finish the tour at the Village House, sipping on a glass of wine and snacking on canapés, while the goes out.

Day 04: Siem Reap

This morning, you’ll wake up with a Sound Bath; an effective and proven technique that uses vibrational sound – specifically crystal and Tibetan bowls – to help reduce stress, uplift consciousness and create a sense of deep peace. Following this, a boat trip on the Tonle Sap Lake provides an opportunity to learn about life on the water. The Tonle Sap is the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia and officially designated as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, covering an area of around 250,000 hectares in the dry season. Then board a local boat and visit the village of Kampong Kleang, where only a few tourists venture. Today's trip will allow you to get into the fascinating scenery of Southeast Asia’s largest freshwater lake.

Note: During the period from April to September, the water level, perhaps, will be too low for a visit by boat. However, the village is still fascinating and can be visited by car. It is quite dramatic to see how the stilted houses are exposed to the lake when water levels are low!

Before returning to Siem Reap, enjoy a deluxe picnic lunch at one of the local houses and watch everyday life in the village. This afternoon, you can choose either a 60-minute acupuncture session, shiatsu (deep tissue massage) or a reiki treatment (a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation) and have some time to relax by the pool. In the late afternoon, back to the temple complex to end the day with a relaxing cruise in a gondola paddle boat on the moat of Angkor Thom, while watching a spectacular sunset at Prasat Chroung temple. On the boat, cocktails, champagne, canapés, and a soft drink will be available, as it paddles slowly along the ancient moat. Overnight in Siem Reap.

Day 05: Departure

Spend the morning exploring Siem Reap’s colorful markets with the chance to buy a few souvenirs or simply observe the vibrant local scenes as people go about their daily lives. Visit the workshop of Eric Raisina, located a few minutes’ drives out of town and admire his new Cambodian silk weaving and dyeing techniques. Just around the corner is another art studio, Theam’s House. Lim Muy Theam is a Cambodian artist & designer drawing inspiration from both Khmer and contemporary international design. After these artistic experiences, a guide will transfer you to the airport for your onward flight. Your vacation ends. Hope you enjoyed it and wish that we can serve you for the next luxury Asia tours.
