- Angkor Wat - The tour guide and driver will pick up guests from the hotel at 5:00 am to witness the sunrise at Angkor Wat.
Initially a Hindu temple, later becoming a Buddhist complex, Angkor Wat in Cambodia is the largest religious monument globally. Constructed by Khmer King Suryavarman II in the early 12th century in Yasodharapura (now Angkor), the capital of the Khmer Empire, it served as his state temple and eventual mausoleum. Unlike previous kings who followed Shaivism, Angkor Wat was dedicated to Vishnu. As the best-preserved temple at the site, it has continuously been a significant religious center since its inception. The temple exemplifies the pinnacle of classical Khmer architecture and is a symbol of Cambodia, even appearing on the national flag.
- Ta Prohm - Known as Taprom (The Ancestor Brahma, Jungle Temple), Ta Prohm is enveloped in dense jungle, creating an ethereal and romantic atmosphere. Fig, banyan, and kapok trees extend their massive roots over stones, separating walls and terraces, while their branches and leaves form a canopy over the structures. Tree trunks twist among stone pillars.
- Angkor Thom - On the left side of the moat, 54 ‘devas’ (guardian gods) pull the head of the snake ‘Shesha,’ while on the right side, 54 ‘asuras’ (demon gods) pull the snake’s tail in the opposite direction. The Bayon temple, with over 200 large faces carved on its 54 towers, gives this temple its majestic character. The bas-reliefs depict everyday life scenes—markets, fishing, festivals with cockfights and jugglers—and historical scenes with battles and processions. Baphoun, built in the mid-11th century (1060) by King Udayadityavarman II, is dedicated to Siva (Hindu). Phimean Akas, constructed in the late 10th century to the early 11th century by King Jayavamen V and Udayadityavarman I, is also dedicated to Hinduism. The site includes the Terrace of the Elephants and the Terrace of the Leper King.
- Banteay Kdei - Also known as ‘the citadel of monk’s cells,’ Banteay Kdei is partially overgrown with towering, sinuous trees. The silk cotton tree roots weaving through the stones of the ruined walls create a famously beautiful sight.
- Ta Keo - Ta Keo remains unfinished, giving it a distinct appearance compared to most Angkor temples. Its square, layered-pyramid shape makes it one of the more dramatic sites on the tour, and climbing the terraces offers stunning views over the jungle.
- Phnom Bakheng - [Only included in sunset tours] Phnom Bakheng is a hilltop temple built centuries before Angkor Wat. It is one of the best locations to watch the sunset in Cambodia, offering views overlooking Angkor Wat itself.

The locations explored on this tour include some of the world’s most stunning, remarkable, and well-preserved temples. Angkor Thom, though not as renowned as Angkor Wat, is arguably just as breathtaking in its magnitude and ambition, with its majestic entrance still inspiring awe today. Ta Prohm is a favorite among visitors, as it has been partially overtaken by the jungle, offering a distinct beauty and serenity.
