Travel independently and discover the temples on your own
Roaming Angkor by oneself is easy and more productive than following guided tours.
I have done this since twenty years ago; now, independent tours have become popular among the ex-pats in Siem Reap.
Take your time, design your program and guide yourself.
To get the whole picture, one should leisurely visit the key temples chronologically.
The other temples give this extra something; I would not have missed any of them.
There is also the countryside, the Tonlé Sap Lake and the West Baray.
There are surprises and unexpected experiences.
In my opinion, this is enough for your entire vacation; and that should be as long as possible.
Blessed are the beginners
The way is the goal.

About me
Reinhart
I am Reinhart Zieger, a studied historian and experienced teacher with 20 years of Angkor background.
Since I have discovered the secrets of the temples, they have been telling me marvellous stories.
I consider myself more of a detective who reads tracks and is a storyteller than an expert.
