Full Water Blessing (Traditional Ritual)

We had a fantastic time venturing through the intricate ruins of Angkor, where every corner felt steeped in history, especially at the breathtaking Ta Prohm with its tree-clad walls. While the small group setting fostered great conversations, the pace occasionally felt a bit hurried, leaving us wanting more time to soak in the atmosphere.

The chance to wander through the lesser-known temples in the Angkor complex was a highlight of my day. I particularly loved the insight shared by the guide, who brought the rich history of Krong Siem Reap in Cambodia to life with engaging stories. However, I felt the pace was a bit rushed at times, making it hard to fully absorb the beauty of each site.

Exploring the temples of Angkor with our small group was an unforgettable experience, especially when we climbed to the top of a viewpoint just in time for sunset—breathtaking! The only slight hiccup was that our guide’s pace was a bit fast at times, making it hard to soak in all the details.
