TRIP HIGHLIGHTS

These massive sculptures, some reaching three meters tall, display subtle expressions ranging from gentle smiles to contemplative gazes. Built by King Jayavarman VII in the late 12th century, every face offers a different perspective as sunlight shifts across the sandstone surfaces, creating an otherworldly atmosphere that leaves visitors spellbound.

This early access transforms your visit into an intimate encounter with Cambodia's most sacred monument.
Ta Prohm - Tomb Raider Temple
Your Angkor Wat Sunrise Tour takes you through Ta Prohm, where massive silk cotton and strangler fig tree roots have grown through 12th-century temple walls for centuries. This atmospheric site, left partly unrestored since its rediscovery, became world-famous as the Tomb Raider filming location with Angelina Jolie.

This 23-meter tall gateway features a tower crowned with four giant faces gazing in cardinal directions.

Built by King Jayavarman VII in the late 12th century, this architectural marvel sets the stage for temples beyond.
