In the evening, join your fellow adventurers for a detailed tour briefing, followed by a warm welcome dinner. This marks the official start of your Cambodia trekking tour to Angkor Wat, an unforgettable journey through jungle trails, hidden temples, and ancient history.
After breakfast at your hotel, begin your first full day of the Cambodia trekking tour with a short transfer to the outskirts of Siem Reap. From here, set off on foot and trek southeast through lush rice paddies, open farmland, and the vibrant green heart of the Cambodian countryside.
Along the trail, pass through small traditional villages where life moves at a gentle pace. You’ll also encounter several pagodas and rural temples, important cultural landmarks in daily Cambodian life. We take time to stop and explore a couple of these sacred sites along the way, offering a deeper connection to the spiritual fabric of the region.
Enjoy a simple, authentic lunch en route in one of the local villages, then continue your afternoon trek northward through peaceful rice fields and grazing pastures.
By late afternoon, you’ll arrive at Trav Kot, where you’ll spend the night in a welcoming Cambodian family homestay near the village pagoda. This is a unique opportunity to experience warm Khmer hospitality and immerse yourself in rural life.
After a hearty breakfast at your Cambodian homestay, lace up your boots and begin today’s Cambodia trekking adventure along quiet dirt roads before venturing deeper into wild scrubland and open countryside. As you head north, the landscape begins to change, expanding into vast rice paddies, untouched forest, and remote villages that have remained unchanged for generations.
Enjoy a packed lunch on the trail, taking in the peaceful surroundings and rural charm.
This leg of your trek to Angkor Wat takes you truly off the beaten path. Along the way, you’ll experience a rich mix of natural beauty, cultural heritage, and spiritual atmosphere, with views stretching toward the sacred Phnom Kulen range. Rising to 487 meters, Phnom Kulen is the region’s highest point and holds deep historical and religious significance as the birthplace of the ancient Khmer Empire.
By late afternoon, arrive at Wat Sor Sey, where we set up camp for the night. Relax under the stars and enjoy a night in nature at our comfortable camping site—a unique experience that connects you with Cambodia’s landscape in the most authentic way.
Today’s leg of your Cambodia trekking tour takes you closer to the sacred hills of Phnom Kulen, though the summit awaits tomorrow. After breakfast at camp, set off across expansive rice paddies, following winding cow-cart trails and narrow dirt paths that offer sweeping views of Phnom Kulen rising in the distance.
As you pass through a small, rural village, veer off the main track and continue your trek through peaceful fields and countryside rarely touched by tourism. Along the way, enjoy lunch en route and soak in the tranquil atmosphere of this unspoiled region.
Later in the day, you’ll reach the outskirts of Beng Mealea, home to one of Cambodia’s most intriguing jungle-covered temples. While you won’t explore the temple just yet, you’ll settle into a charming homestay in a nearby village, offering a firsthand glimpse into traditional Khmer life in the countryside.
After an energizing breakfast, begin one of the most rewarding days of your Cambodia trekking adventure. A short 20-minute transfer takes you to Phum Deikrahorm, where today’s challenging ascent begins. Trek uphill through jungle-covered trails to the summit of Phnom Kulen (487m), Cambodia’s sacred mountain and one of the most spiritual sites in the country.
Revered by locals and pilgrims alike, Phnom Kulen is considered the birthplace of the ancient Khmer Empire. As you reach the high plateau, enjoy panoramic views over vast forests, rice fields, and distant mountain ranges.
Trek approximately 11km through remote villages and rural farmland. Follow single-track trails through cashew plantations to Sras Domrei, a peaceful and rarely visited site adorned with giant ancient statues and rich historical significance.
Continue another 7km to Phum Thmey, a small, welcoming village where you’ll enjoy a packed lunch among friendly locals and curious children. This is a heartwarming moment of cultural exchange and a chance to witness everyday life in remote Cambodia.
In the afternoon, trek the final 3km to Phnom Kulen’s iconic Reclining Buddha, perched high above the plains. Just a short walk beyond lies a stunning waterfall, perfect for a refreshing swim and rest. You’ll also visit the famous River of a Thousand Lingas, where ancient carvings lie submerged in the riverbed, a spiritual and archaeological wonder.
After a hearty breakfast in your Phnom Kulen homestay, set off on a historic jungle trail once commonly used by locals but now rarely traveled due to new road access. This lesser-known path offers a quiet, authentic slice of Cambodian wilderness. Along the way, you may encounter locals collecting lianas, hunting, or making their way to farms hidden higher in the hills.
Your Cambodia trekking journey continues southeast, winding down the forested slopes of Phnom Kulen, a mountain deeply revered for its historical and spiritual importance. As you descend, the landscape opens into the sun-drenched plains of Siem Reap Province.
The afternoon stretch leads you along sandy, sometimes muddy tracks through rural villages, local schools, and pagodas. The lack of shade makes this section physically demanding, but the immersive views of village life and the warm smiles of passing children keep spirits high.
After a full day on the trail, arrive at Wat Tbeng, where a welcoming homestay awaits. This final rural stop brings you one step closer to the majestic temples of Angkor.
After enjoying your final breakfast at the homestay, set off on the last leg of your Cambodia trekking tour to Angkor Wat. Today’s route is shorter but no less meaningful, as it leads you into the heart of one of the world’s most iconic archaeological wonders.
Trek 10km through open countryside until you reach Prasat Ta Som, a beautiful, lesser-visited temple that marks the gateway to the Angkor Archaeological Park. Here, switch from foot to the local mode of travel, a colorful tuk-tuk procession as you ride in style toward the spiritual finale of your journey.
Pass by ancient ruins, towering gateways, and forest-covered relics as you approach Angkor Thom, the majestic walled capital of the Khmer Empire. Stand in awe before the enigmatic faces of the Bayon Temple, located in the very center of the city.
Finally, arrive at the crown jewel of Cambodia Angkor Wat, just in time to marvel at its grandeur and historical magnitude. This unforgettable finish marks the culmination of your Cambodia trek to Angkor Wat, blending nature, culture, and centuries of history in one powerful experience.
After an unforgettable Cambodia trekking adventure to Angkor Wat, enjoy a relaxing morning with free time to explore Siem Reap at your leisure. Whether you choose to visit local markets, enjoy the vibrant cafes, or relax before your flight, the day is yours to unwind.
