• Angkor Wat - Your driver will pick you up from your hotel, and we will begin our day exploring the temples of the UNESCO-listed Angkor National Park. You will need to pay the entrance fee at the ticket office, where we will stop for you to purchase a ticket. Our first stop will be Angkor Wat, the largest and most impressive of all Angkor temples, considered one of the 7 Wonders of the World.

Angkor Wat was constructed between 1113-1150 AD and dedicated to Vishnu, the Hindu god of preservation. It is the best-preserved temple among all. Its layout and scale are simply breathtaking, with the wall surrounding the enclosure measuring 1,000 by 800 meters and a moat, said to represent the oceans of the world, that is 200 meters wide. Angkor Wat is an architectural representation of the mythical Mount Meru in the center of the world (Himalaya). This incredible temple houses the longest continuous bas-relief in the world, which runs along the outer gallery walls.

• Angkor Thom - Angkor Thom, the capital city of the Khmer empire, was built at the end of the 12th century. Located north of Angkor Wat, between West Baray and East Baray, and near Preah Khan and Phnom Bakheng, Angkor Thom is an almost square city surrounded by 8-meter-high walls stretching over 12 kilometers long, with five impressive gopura gates providing access to the city. The city’s name translates to “large city” or “great city.” King Jayavarman VII made Angkor Thom the new capital of the Khmer Kingdom after driving out the Chams, who had destroyed the old capital, Yasodharapura. He fortified the city by building a high wall around it, which is enclosed by a 100-meter-wide moat.

• Bayon Temple - The Bayon is a richly decorated Khmer temple at Angkor in Cambodia. Built in the late 12th or early 13th century as the state temple of the Mahayana Buddhist King Jayavarman VII, the Bayon stands at the center of Jayavarman’s capital, Angkor Thom. A unique feature of the Bayon is the absence of an enclosing wall, although it is protected by the wall surrounding the city of Angkor Thom. The basic plan of the Bayon consists of three levels. The first and second levels are square galleries featuring bas-reliefs, while a circular Central Sanctuary dominates the third level. Despite this seemingly simple plan, the arrangement of the Bayon is complex, with a maze of galleries, passages, and steps connected in a way that makes the levels practically indistinguishable, creating dim lighting, narrow walkways, and low ceilings. The temple is decorated with more than 200 smiling faces on its towers.

• Ta Prohm Temple - At Ta Prohm, be captivated by the sight of ruins overtaken by tree roots, showcasing the incredible power of nature. Learn how French archaeologists controversially left the site to the destructive power of the jungle. After the tour, return to your hotel.
