Siem Reap, in the northwestern part of Cambodia, is mostly known for its Angkor Archaeological Park. In this one location, 150 square miles in size, are hundreds of monuments and, most famously, dozens of fortress-like temple compounds from 800 to 1400 AD.

Experience the best of Siem Reap with an itinerary that includes guided touring, excursions and exclusive reservations. Here is just one example of what our destination experts can create for you.
Set out early in the morning to catch the sunrise over the towers of Angkor Wat. You will tour Angkor with your expert guide, who will explain the intricacies of Khmer art through the many statues, reliefs and vast galleries depicting the Hindu epic of Ramuyana. Afterwards, visit the Conservation d’Angkor, which houses thousands of statues and then head to the incredible Ta Prohm temple, where you will meet the lead archeologist.
In the city of Siem Reap, visit the Psar Chaa (Old Market), a unique bazaar where you can peruse wood and stone carvings, silks, Buddha images and other hand-made Cambodian souvenirs. Afterwards, visit Artisans d’Angkor, an organization where local young people receive training in traditional arts. Here you can tour the workshops and silk farm and purchase authentic Cambodian housewares with a Cambodian art expert.
In Siem Reap, Indagare can arrange boat excursions to floating villages, biking day trips or a helicopter tour, as well as spa treatments for those looking to relax. In the evening, Indagare can organize tickets for performances of the Landmine Survivors dance troupe or the Phare Circus, which is a captivating spectacle of Khmer music, dance and acrobatics.
We only feature hotels that we can vouch for first-hand. At many of them, Indagare members receive special amenities, including upgrades, early check-in, breakfast, spa credits and more. Look for the Indagare Plus logo in the reviews.
