Itinerary
Your tour starts when you meet your tour guide at 8:30 a.m. Prepare yourself for an unforgettable exploration of Angkor Wat's majestic Mother Temple. This extraordinary 7th wonder of the world is not just another temple; it is a masterpiece, representing the epitome of religious grandeur. Spanning across vast dimensions, this colossal structure is believed to be the largest in the world, leaving a lasting impression on all who wander within its sacred walls. The Mother Temple of Angkor Wat unveils a mesmerizing tapestry of symbolism and symmetry, truly embracing the essence of artistic finesse. As you step foot into this hallowed ground, the intricate bas-reliefs will captivate your senses, narrating fascinating tales of Hindu mythology and the glory of the mighty Khmer empire. Each expertly carved scene serves as a window into the cultural heritage and prosperity that once thrived here, igniting a sense of admiration and respect.
After you visit Angkor Wat, embark on a captivating journey to the mysterious temple of Bayon. By starting our tour here, we can immerse ourselves in the tranquility of this remarkable site, away from the bustling crowds. Nestled in the heart of Angkor Thom, Bayon Temple offers a unique expression of Cambodia's beloved king's brilliant creativity and exceptional self-importance. With 54 towers adorned with the four faces of Avalokiteshvara, the Buddha of Compassion, the resemblance to the king himself is striking. Get ready to be enchanted by the enigmatic charm of this exceptional temple.
Explore Baphuon Temple, a grand 11th-century pyramid temple in Angkor Thom. This temple is known for its steep terraces and impressive stone causeway. Baphuon Temple offers beautiful views from the upper levels and displays intricate carvings, including a large reclining Buddha on its western side.
You will then visit Preah Palilay Temple, located in the Angkor Thom complex. A peaceful temple set within a quiet forest, Preah Palilay features a mix of Hindu and Buddhist influences, with a tall central tower and beautifully carved pedestals surrounded by towering trees.
Visit the Terrace of Elephants, one of Angkor Thom's most iconic landmarks. The Terrace of Elephants features long elephant bas-reliefs and was once used by Khmer kings as a grand viewing platform for royal ceremonies and military parades.
Pass by the Terrace of the Leaper King, which sits near the Terrace of Elephants. This intricately carved terrace showcases deep reliefs of gods, demons, and mythical creatures.
This is for the total journey from the pickup (City Center) to the tour at the temple complex. The journey takes roughly 30minutes each way. The total of two ways is 1 hour.

About Siem Reap
Siem Reap is the riverside town beside Angkor, Cambodia's vast complex of Khmer temples, with night markets, river walks and a relaxed centre.
Angkor Wat, often called the largest religious monument in the world, rises above its moat in a silhouette of lotus-bud towers that is breathtaking at sunrise. Nearby, the walled city of Angkor Thom holds the Bayon, with its more than two hundred serene stone faces, the Terrace of the Elephants and the Baphuon, while Ta Prohm is gripped by the roots of giant silk-cotton and strangler fig trees.
