Sunrise at Angkor Wat Temple

Angkor Wat - Guests will be collected from the hotel lobby at 4:50 AM. They will then be transported to Angkor Wat to witness the sunrise. This breathtaking view is definitely worth the early start! Visitors can choose to take the classic position by the lotus pond to see Angkor Wat and its reflection or find a unique spot to admire and photograph this captivating temple. As the sunrise colors fade, guests will explore the inner sections of Angkor Wat, learning about its history and the intriguing stories behind the detailed carvings on the temple gallery walls.

Angkor Thom - The tour continues to the South Gate of Angkor Thom, where the bridge is flanked by statues of a demon and a god holding the King Cobra, Naga Vasuki. The journey proceeds to Bayon, an essential temple known for its numerous impressive giant stone faces. It features 54 towers, each with four faces, located at the heart of Angkor Thom. Exiting from the north entrance towards Baphoun and passing Phimeanakas with its lovely lakes, visitors will arrive at the Elephant Terrace, once the king’s audience hall.

Thommanon - Thommanon Temple is one of a pair of Hindu temples constructed during Suryavarman II’s reign at Angkor, Cambodia. The temple’s name is derived from the Pali words “Dhamma,” meaning ‘Buddhist Teachings,’ and “Nanda,” meaning ‘supreme wisdom.’

Chau Say Tevoda - Situated just east of Angkor Thom, directly south of Thommanon across Victory Way, this mid-12th-century Hindu temple from the Angkor Wat period is dedicated to Shiva and Vishnu, featuring unique female devata sculptures.

Ta Prohm - Ta Prohm gained 21st-century fame from the movie Tomb Raider, starring Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft. Today, with Lara long gone, this temple is a must-visit for many tourists. Numerous corners of Ta Prohm display a fascinating relationship between the roots of the Spung tree (Tetrameles Nudiflora) and ancient moss-covered stones. It’s truly a photographer’s paradise, offering the chance to capture unique explorer moments.

Srah Srang - Known as the King’s Baths, Srah Srang is a large reservoir still holding water today. From here, it’s a short walk to the expansive labyrinth of the Buddhist temple Banteay Kdei.

A knowledgeable guide will assist in navigating the temple grounds before continuing the tour.

Neak Pean - Built around the same time as Preah Khan, Neak Pean offers a different perspective.

Ta Som - Ta Som Temple, a small temple at Angkor, Cambodia, was built at the end of the 12th century for King Jayavarman VII. It is located northeast of Angkor Thom and just east of Neak Pean. The King dedicated the temple to his father, Dharanindravarman II, who ruled the Khmer Empire from 1150 to 1160.

Eastern Mebon - The East Mebon is a 10th-century temple at Angkor, Cambodia.

Pre Rup - Pre Rup is a Hindu temple at Angkor, Cambodia, built as the state temple of Khmer King Rajendravarman and dedicated in 961 or early 962. It is a temple mountain constructed from a combination of brick, laterite, and sandstone. The temple’s name, “turn the body,” is relatively modern.

Lady Temple & Thousands of Shivaliga

Kbal Spean - Visitors will explore Kbal Spean, known as the “River of Thousand Lingas.” To reach the top of Kbal Spean and admire the intricately carved stone riverbed, guests must tackle a fairly steep incline. However, the path is well-trodden, and the largest obstacles and boulders are overcome by a series of well-maintained wooden staircases. A medium level of fitness is required for this 3km jungle walk. A local lunch break will provide rest during the hottest part of the day.

Banteay Srei - Guests will visit the small temple of Banteay Srei, renowned for its exquisite delicate carvings in warm pink sandstone. This late 10th-century structure is compact and distinct from other Angkorian temples. On the return journey, there will be a stop at a palm sugar store run by villagers.

Beng Mealea & Rolous Group

Beng Mealea - Visitors will explore Beng Mealea, now more accessible with the addition of a wooden walkway throughout the structure, ensuring safe access and a slight elevation for better views. This mid-12th-century temple features a blend of Buddhist and Hindu attributes and is particularly enchanting during the wet season.

Roluos Temples - The tour will proceed through picturesque countryside back towards Siem Reap, stopping at the late 9th-century Hindu temples Bakong, Lolei, and Preah Ko, collectively known as the Rolous Temple Group. Guests will explore the early capital of Angkor, with a guide highlighting the most attractive sites, including the impressive pyramid-like Bakong surrounded by a moat still containing water today.

Chong Kneas Floating Village - Guests will visit the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia, the Tonle Sap. They will embark on a journey in a traditional wooden boat to observe how people live in harmony with the lake’s rising and falling water levels, depending on the season. Accessible year-round, Chhong Kneas is the largest of the floating villages in the province, with three ethnicities living side by side on the lake’s margins.

Prasat Phnom Krom - Phnom Krom, an Angkorian site, dominates the horizon and overlooks the bustling lives of the fishing and farming communities.

Wat Bo Temple - Wat Bo is one of the oldest Buddhist monasteries in Siem Reap. Although it receives few visitors, it is worth visiting for its beautiful walls.

Artisans Angkor - At the Artisans d’Angkor workshop, skilled artists create stunning pieces of lacquer, stone carvings, and silver plating.
