Discover the mysteries of Angkor on this full-day tour from Siem Reap.
The 60-square-mile site of Angkor is what remains of an ancient royal Khmer city deep in the jungle of Siem Reap, Cambodia. It includes exquisitely detailed temples that were built under the direction of Angkor’s kings from the 9th to the 15th centuries, before being mysteriously abandoned around 1430.

Morning pickup at your hotel in Siem Reap, begin with a visit to the ancient capital of Angkor Thom, the fortified city of Angkor Thom covers an area of 10 square km. Enter by the monumental South Gate over a causeway lined on either side by statues of demons and gods, each carrying a giant naga. Then stop at the famous Bayon temple, witnessing the enchanting faces of Bayon Temple and continue to the Terrace of the Elephants and the terrace of the Leper Kings, then to Ta Phrom – a beautiful jungle temple that has been relatively untouched since it was discovered.

In the afternoon, visit the most famous of all the temples on the plain of Angkor: Angkor Wat. Few places anywhere on Earth match the splendor of Angkor Wat, a veritable lost city in the midst of the Cambodian jungle. The temple complex covers 81 hectares and is comparable in size to the Imperial Palace in Beijing. Its perfection in composition, balance, proportions, and sculptural detail make it one of the finest monuments ever constructed.

Then you will enjoy viewing the sunset from Phnom Bakheng. End the tour at your hotel.
