Itinerary

You will be picked up from your hotel at between 8:00 a.m to 8:30 am, and head directly to purchase the Angkor pass. Afterward, we head to one of Cambodia's jewels, the impressive Angkor Thom, which was the fortified "Great Royal City" built in the 12th century by King Jayavarman VII. At the South Gate, we can see the imposing statue of Avalokiteshvara, which appears in the Tomb Raider movie. Next visit is Bayon temple, in Buddhist style and adorned with hundreds of faces made of stone, and also explore the Terrace of Elephants, former Royal Palace, Phimeanakas, Terrace of Leper King, and Baphoun temple, It is considered the largest Hindu temple in Angkor Thom city.

Then, we drive to Ta Prohm temple, which has been left in its original state and is partly overgrown with trees and huge roots. It was also used as a backdrop for the film Tomb Raider starring Angelina Jolie.

Enjoy your lunch at a local restaurant cooked by local chief, and then visit the most authentic village of Phum Preah Dak, where you can learn how the local people make palm cake and palm sugar.

In the afternoon, start to visit to the fascinating Angkor Wat, the largest sacred building on the planet and an icon of the Khmer civilization. It was built by King Suyavarman and is dedicated to the Hindu god Vishnu. It contains hundreds of decorations that cover the walls and the longest bas-relief in the world. It is surrounded by a giant moat, and its five towers are part of the Cambodian flag, and from the top you can see the impressive and dense jungle.

Phnom Bakheng is only a temple of Angkor that is open until 6:30 pm, which means that you can watch the sunset inside the temple itself instead of just from the outside. It’s located up on top of a hill, which means you get an absolutely gorgeous view of the surrounding temples and countryside as the sun dips below the horizon. Transfer you back to your hotel.
