Absolute Asia/Cambodia/Angkor & Beyond Helicopter Tour
Experience Cambodia’s Lost Temples by Helicopter
For an unforgettable adventure, soar above the Cambodian landscape and explore ancient ruins. Our Sokha Helicopter tour offers a unique perspective, whisking you between magnificent temples in mere minutes.
Your journey begins at Siem Reap International Airport. We’ll fly northeast to the awe-inspiring Preah Vihear temple, perched dramatically on a mountain overlooking the Thai-Cambodian border. Enjoy breathtaking panoramic views before heading south to Koh Ker, the 10th-century capital. Explore the mighty Prasat Thom pyramid and numerous smaller structures within this fascinating, largely forgotten city. Our final stop is the expansive Preah Khan temple, featuring the iconic four-faced Bayon-style Prasat Preah Stung. The return flight to Siem Reap completes this full-day excursion (approximately 2.5 hours of flight time).
Alternatively, discover the temples of Angkor from above with shorter helicopter tours (up to 30 minutes). Enjoy breathtaking aerial views of Angkor Wat, Prasat Kravan, Pre Rup, the Eastern Mebon temples, and the unique floating villages and fish traps of Tonle Sap Lake. These tours depart from Siem Reap International Airport, near the Western Baray.
