Detailed Itinerary

Pick-up

After breakfast, your guide and driver will pick you up directly from your hotel in Siem Reap. Begin the day with a short drive to the Angkor Archaeological Park, the former capital of the Khmer Empire and one of the most important historical sites in the region.

Angkor Thom

Arrive at Angkor Thom, the ancient capital built in the 12th century by King Jayavarman VII. This fortified city is surrounded by massive walls and a wide moat.

Enter through the South Gate, decorated with large stone statues depicting the churning of the ocean of milk. Continue to the iconic Bayon Temple, famous for its 54 towers adorned with more than 200 serene smiling faces of Avalokitesvara.

Explore key monuments within Angkor Thom, including:

  • Phimeanakas
  • The Royal Enclosure
  • Elephant Terrace
  • Terrace of the Leper King

Each site reveals fascinating insights into royal ceremonies, religious beliefs, and daily life during the height of the Khmer Empire.

Angkor Wat

Continue to Angkor Wat, the largest religious monument in the world and the crown jewel of Cambodia. Built in the 12th century and dedicated to Vishnu, the Hindu god of preservation, Angkor Wat covers approximately 81 hectares.

Admire the temple’s grand scale, detailed bas-reliefs, and five iconic towers that appear on the Cambodian national flag. Angkor Wat is widely regarded as the finest example of classical Khmer art and architecture.

If time permits, visit Phnom Bakhen Hill, a popular viewpoint offering panoramic views over Angkor Wat and the surrounding jungle landscape.
