All about the trip
Along with your guide, travel to one of Siem Reap’s beautiful temples for a cultural immersion experience. The pagoda is a picturesque image of Buddhist culture. Your guide will provide you with incense and candlesticks to bring to the pagoda where you will participate in a private blessing ceremony performed by resident monks who reside at the temple.
Sit on the floor of the temple while the monks chant blessings for good luck, sprinkling you with holy water – a traditional way which is believed to pass on the good luck of the gods. A sacred thread is tied to your wrist to product you from evil spirits and accidents, guarding you as you continue on your travels. Before you continue on your journey, you will receive a small keepsake from the monks to remind you of this special moment.
