Siem Reap in 3 days — FAQ

Is 3 days enough to see Angkor?
Three days is ideal — the small circuit on day one, the grand circuit and Banteay Srei on day two, and Tonle Sap or Kulen Mountain on day three, covering the temples, lake and waterfalls at a relaxed pace.
What is the best day trip from Siem Reap for 3 days?
Banteay Srei is the most beautifully carved, Tonle Sap the most eye-opening, and Kulen Mountain the most refreshing; together with Angkor they capture the region.
How do I plan a 3-day Siem Reap itinerary?
Use a 3-day Angkor pass for the small and grand circuits and Banteay Srei, then add Tonle Sap or Kulen Mountain, booking a guide and sunrise tours ahead.
