Two-Day Angkor Temples And Kompong Phluk Floating Village Private Tour
Two days of temple-hopping and river life around Angkor: witness sunrise at Angkor Wat, study intricate reliefs at Banteay Srei, and glide through Kompong Phluk’s stilt village. This private tour pairs early-morning light with afternoon boat time for a compact cultural and outdoor experience.
The Experience
Before You Go
Buy your Angkor pass in advance
Purchase a 2- or 3-day Angkor pass at the official ticket office before entering; you’ll need it for both days.
Dress for temples
Wear clothing that covers shoulders and knees out of respect and to meet temple rules; lightweight fabrics work best in heat.
Expect uneven ground
Bring sturdy, closed-toe shoes for stone staircases, roots, and slippery surfaces at Ta Prohm and Preah Khan.
Plan for heat and hydration
Carry a refillable bottle and use the provided bottled water between sites — hydration prevents headaches in the tropical heat.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Sunrise reflection view at Srah Srang for quieter water reflections
- •Detailed sandstone relief panels at Banteay Srei — smaller but exceptionally well-preserved carvings
Wildlife
- •Long-tailed macaques around forested temple edges
- •Open-water and reed birds on Tonle Sap (egrets, kingfishers)
Conservation Note
Visitor pressure and humidity accelerate stone erosion; stick to marked paths, avoid touching bas-reliefs, and support local guides and conservation fees that help maintain the sites.
Angkor was the heart of the Khmer Empire (9th–15th centuries); Angkor Wat was built in the 12th century under Suryavarman II as a Hindu, later Buddhist, state temple.

Common Questions
Do I need to buy an Angkor pass?
Yes — an Angkor pass is required for entry to the main temples and is available at the Angkor Enterprise ticket office; bring the pass each day.
Is sunrise crowded at Angkor Wat?
Sunrise is popular; this private tour times early pickup to secure good views, but expect other visitors — arrive promptly to get prime viewing spots.
Is the floating village accessible year-round?
Yes, but the experience changes with water levels: high water (monsoon) submerges trees and raises boats closer to houses, while low water may expose stilts and require shallow-draft boats.
Are temples wheelchair accessible?
Some newer access routes and the vehicle are wheelchair accessible, but many temple areas have uneven stone and steps that limit full access.
