Introduction 3 night Culinary Adventure, Temples & Accommodation
We have put together a Culinary Adventure itinerary that we will happily adapt to suit your interests.
We work with you to ensure you get the most out of your time in Siem Reap.
This is a culinary adventure that incorporates the famous temples of Angkor.
Essentially there are three temples that you can’t leave Siem Reap without seeing, Angkor Wat, Bayon and Ta Prohm. The Angkor Park has many temples some close some a long way away.
We have made a selection of the more unusual and popular temples for you to enjoy.

The local foods and produce defines much about the people and culture in Cambodia.
We take time to introduce you to local fruits, vegetables and plants used in foods and as herbal remedies. Explore local markets with our expert guides, participate in a cooking class presented by our Cambodian chef who will demonstrate many of the unique flavours of Khmer cuisine.
Help us prepare some food for the local orphanage and join us when we deliver this to the children.

We prepare a local breakfast for you to experience, the best and most interesting of local market foods - "all the things you were tempted to try but just weren't sure if you should."

Follow our "Food Trail" and try some of the more interesting and unusual cafes, restaurants around town, or perhaps have a look at some of the local tourists attractions, markets and galleries.

Three day and 7 day passes require one passport photograph.  We recommend you bring a photo.  Photos can be taken at the gate but often there is a queue.
By purchasing your pass after 4.45pm you can gain one evenings free access. Whilst you don’t have a lot of time at the temples before they close (and it gets dark) you do get a fantastic opportunity to sneak in a sunset trip. 

Please note there are other temples that require a separate pass.  If you take an additional tour to one of these temples you will need to purchase this separately (Eg. Beng Melea).
