Secondly, you will visit two "hidden gems" additionally, one of them being a picture-book "lost temple in the jungle". Lunch-break will be at the reservoir called Srah Srang, where several good restaurants are available. Alternatively, the driver can drop you to another location, provided you agree to pay him for the extra kilometers. Each temple can only be visited with an Angkor Ticket, which is NOT included in the tour costs: 1 day: 37.-US$ per person. Most guests prefer multi-day tickets.
