Itinerary
Day 1: Explore All Highlight of Angkor Temples with watch sunset at temple
At 08:30 AM, your tour guide and driver will meet you at your hotel lobby, ready to lead you on an unforgettable journey through the Angkor Archaeological Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most treasured legacies of the ancient world.
Begin your exploration at the South Gate of Angkor Thom, the monumental entrance to the last capital of the Khmer Empire. Lined with dramatic stone statues of gods and demons and crowned with serene, smiling faces, this gateway sets the tone for the wonders that lie ahead.
Delve into the heart of Angkor Thom to discover the iconic Bayon Temple, renowned for its 216 enigmatic stone faces that gaze out from every angle, creating a sense of timeless mystery. Nearby stands the Baphuon Temple, a majestic, pyramid-style sanctuary symbolizing Mount Meru, followed by the peaceful Phimeanakas, a hidden temple once reserved for Khmer royalty.
Continue on to the Terrace of the Elephants, a 400-meter-long viewing platform once used by the king for royal audiences and parades. Just a short walk away is the Terrace of the Leper King, famous for its intricate carvings and hidden passageways portraying celestial beings and mythological figures.
Your journey then leads you to the hauntingly beautiful Ta Prohm Temple, famously known as the Tomb Raider Temple. Still partially engulfed by the jungle, with massive tree roots embracing its stone structures, Ta Prohm offers an evocative glimpse into the raw power of nature reclaiming history.
Pause for a well-deserved lunch at a local restaurant, where you’ll enjoy the rich and authentic flavors of traditional Khmer cuisine.
In the afternoon, explore the awe-inspiring Angkor Wat, the crown jewel of Cambodia and the largest religious monument in the world. Admire its harmonious architecture, elaborate bas-reliefs, and symbolic design as your guide unveils the fascinating stories behind this iconic temple.
Conclude your day by witnessing the sunset over Angkor Wat, as the fading sunlight casts a golden glow over the ancient stones, a magical moment that captures the spirit of Angkor.
