Wander around stunning Angkor Wat and its surroundings. Be amazed by the ancient city with its astonishing history. Feel the spirit of times and our ancestors.
Departing early will ensure a cool start to the day. You will enter the ancient city through its South Gate and visit Bayon – silent witnesses of time, the 216 enigmatic faces. Your guide will point out the best angles for photography here and give an explanation of the many intricate carvings on the walls of the galleries. You will then continue to Baphuon with its long causeway. Continuing further, you can admire the Esplanade of the Royal Palace, more commonly known as the Terrace of the Elephants and Terrace of the Leper King.
Having gained its 21st century fame from the Tomb Raider movie, the charming and iconic Ta Prohm features on most visitors' itineraries, and rightfully so. Here nature takes over ancient man-made structures and golden Spung tree (Tetrameles Nudiflora) roots wrap themselves around mossy stones in a tight embrace.
Your afternoon adventure will commence at the largest religious monument ever built – Angkor Wat. One can simply spend hours wandering in awe at the grandeur of this temple, its many levels and intricate carvings adorning the many galleries. The stories told by your guide will bring ancient Angkor times back to life.
