Depart Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (BOM) with one connection (typical routing via Bangkok or Kuala Lumpur). Aim for an early flight so you arrive in Hanoi same day and can recover from travel.
Enjoy lantern-lit streets and a gentle walk around the lake; shops and cafés stay open late. Public area is accessible 24 hours; main streets bustle until late evening.
See Ho Chi Minh's resting place, the Presidential Palace exterior, and One Pillar Pagoda; mausoleum hours are typically 8:00–11:00 (note: closed Monday & Friday mornings for ceremonies).
Check in to a reputable cruise (mid-range to premium); includes lunch, kayaking, cave visits and overnight cabin — cruises operate year-round and depart midday.
Old Town is atmospheric after dark with lanterns lit; note that evening market stalls run late and the Ancient Town central area requires an entry ticket during the day (daytime ticket).
Depart early for a full-day guided tour with river boat rides, local workshops, fruit orchards and a riverside lunch; tours typically run 7:00am–5:00pm.
Buy a 1-day or multi-day pass at the park entrance (Angkor Park open 5:00–18:00; 1-day pass approx USD37 ~ CAD50). Visit Ta Prohm (tree-root temple) and catch sunset at Phnom Bakheng or Srah Srang; note sunset spots get busy.
Depart before dawn to watch sunrise at Angkor Wat; park opens early (commonly cited 5:00am) so arrive early for a good vantage point. This is a highlight and worth the early start.
Visit the Bayon faces, Terrace of the Elephants and surrounding Angkor Thom complex (park open 5:00–18:00); easy walking between sites with shaded spots.
Depart Siem Reap international airport for the return journey to Mumbai; likely routing includes a connection (Bangkok or Ho Chi Minh). Book an evening flight so you can use the full final day.
