On the Go
5 days, 6 nights
Do you like to be active? Do you want to be able to get out and walk or bike ride rather than be driven everywhere?
If so get on the go with us. Yes you will see the temples, but then we will arrange for you to take safe trips out to more remote areas, bike ride to a nearby village and climb a hill or two for the sunset views.

Day 3 Siem Reap - Beng Mealea
Enjoy breakfast at Journeys Within before leaving the crowds behind and heading to Beng Mealea, a temple only recently opened to the public; about one and a half hours drive from Journeys Within. After an hour you will leave the paved road and get onto a beaten track running through rice fields and villages of rural Cambodia. At the temple our guide will help you imagine how it once was as you pick your way through the rubble now surrounded by jungle.
Choose a restaurant in town for lunch before returning to Journeys Within.
Later in the afternoon head back to the temples where you will visit Banteay Kdei and Ta Prohm, two of the prettiest temples in the complex. Watch the sunset from inside Ta Prohm or from the Angkor Wat promenade.

Day 4 Siem Reap - Banteay Srei and the Lingas
This morning set off with your guide to Banteay Srei, the intricately carved temple just 30 km beyond Angkor Wat.
Your driver will continue on a dirt road to Kbal Spean. Once there hike for about two hours to get to the “River of a Thousand Lingas.” In ancient times if water ran over lingas it was said to be holy water. The ancient Khmers therefore made thousands of lingas along this riverbed so the water that flowed to their rice fields was blessed. The lingas and other stone carvings remain today. Have fun exploring the surrounding jungle. Journeys Within will pack a picnic lunch to be enjoyed overlooking the river.
