Your opinion please - they offer a Spiritual Angkor Journey which includes the usual temple guides, Khmer breakfast and water-blessing - but also the following:
- Evening talk : Understanding Buddhism
- Two excursions to Angkor temples with English speaking guide (supplement for temple pass applicable)
- Traditional Khmer Breakfast at Amansara’s Wooden Village House at Angkor Archaeological Park
- Khmer bath therapy (Sras)
- Hot herbal compress massage (Sor om Massa)
- Forest bathing experience
- Monk led forest walking meditation ( Monk lead offering charity)
- Monk chanting in local Pagoda
- Ancestral Khmer incense class
Do you believe this to be too much for a 5 night stay?
That sounds like quite the experience. We had a 4 night stay and honestly by the end we were quite cultured out. We also found that the days were pretty busy so we had a tough time scheduling our massages and the Tonle Sap excursion.. I can only imagine how busy that package sounds... but if you're really into those sort of actiitivies (and honestly we aren't) then this would be a great experience.. Rest assured that regardless of what you do; Amansara will provide a top notch experience...
