Family-friendly Angkor Wat Trekking Tours provide a secure and educational way to discover Cambodia’s ancient temples and flourishing jungle paths at a leisurely speed. 5-day experience off the beaten track route with our cultural storytelling and local-guides team with nearly 20 years of experience, for every step that we make is a mutual memory together. These trips combine heritage, mild adventure, and family togetherness to bring Angkor to life in a way that I think appeals across the age spectrum.
This circular route is the easiest way to start your Angkor Wat Trekking Tours. It goes in a full loop around the main temple. Bonus: Amazing photo opportunities and peaceful moments under the tall trees. Kids love hunting down butterflies and monkeys, and the parents will relish the opportunity to take in the epic architecture of the site without having to scale a hill. Better yet, the path is broad, well-kept, and approachable even for absolute beginners.
Pro Tip: Arrive late enough to catch reflections in the moat and not late enough to encounter the mid-morning crowds. Carry along loads of water and a sunhat!

This loop path introduces your family to the innermost parts of Angkor Thom, the old Khmer capital. As part of many Angkor Wat Trekking Tours, the trail introduces the vibrancy of the old city with sky-high temples and deserted promenades. Children delight at the smiling stone faces of Bayon and the excitement of going through gates once employed by elephant caravans.
Pro Tip: Ask your Impress Travel guide about the “lost temples" tucked off the trail; many don’t show up on maps!

This route is one of the favorites on Angkor Wat Trekking Tours for Families. The peaceful stroll along Srah Srang reservoir loops around to Ta Prohm’s enchanting ruins, where tree roots pass through walls hundreds of years old. Kids are enchanted by the jungle reclaiming the temple, and parents enjoy the peaceful, Hollywood-like ambiance.
Pro Tip: Enjoy a relaxed stroll and soak in the tranquility. Early afternoon is optimal here, with fewer people and soft jungle light filtering through the leaves.

This route is ideal for early morning travelers. Families who do the steep but short hike up early in the morning are rewarded with one of the best views in Cambodia. Watching the sunrise over Angkor Wat from the Phnom Bakheng is a key part of most Angkor Wat Trekking Tours, especially for kids who’ve never seen ancient temples glow in golden light.
Pro Tip: Arrive early, access to the top is limited. Bring a flashlight and hear the forest come alive.

This off-the-beaten-path segment is ideal for families who appreciate an unhurried, contemplative walk. From the stunning Preah Khan temple, the path winds gently in the direction of Neak Pean, a rare water temple that was believed to heal. The path is peaceful, mostly shaded, and replete with ambiance, a great blend of temple ruins and nature’s calm.
Pro Tip: End your walk near golden hour for warm reflections at the water shrine. Keep an eye out for kingfishers and egrets.

We went on a private trip to Vietnam and Cambodia, the whole trip plan was organized for us by the Impress Travel Company from Vietnam, the company did an amazing job, the whole trip was organized in a wonderful way with an amazing match between the various parties, their choices were correct and the quality of the hotels chosen were very high quality and it is important to note that the price was low in comparison To other agencies, thanks to Impress Travel and especially to Daniel who was tolerant and open to changes and organized the route for us.
Impress travel were amazing. Did my bookings with Daniel for our tour of Vietnam and I must say Daniel was very professional and prompt with his services. All the arrangement, plans, pick-up & drop-off services, hotels, vehicles, sightseeing tours and guides were spot on and excellent. Did 4 nights Hanoi, 1 night Hà Long Bay cruise, 3 nights Hoian, 4 nights Saigon and 1 night in Can Tho. It was totally awesome. Every part of the journey was superbly arranged and planned. I will highly recommend Impress Travel for anyone interested in visiting Vietnam. Very organized and reliable!
I booked with Impress Travel in July. My contact person was Tommy Thang. He is an amazing person. He was very helpful. He changed my program twice for me. Very accommodating!
We started our holiday in the north (Sapa)of Vietnam and travelled down to HCMC.
The tour was fantastic, Tommy's arrangements were to the"T".
I will always use them if I have to visit the area again and recommend them to one and all.
Thank you once again Mr.Tommy and the Impress Team.
