Itinerary

1. Departing after breakfast accompanied by your guide we will approach an untouched village near by Angkor Thom city by tuk-tuk (motorised trolley) and learning about the day-to-day lives of the local people. Continue your journey by walk (this will take about 1 hours with around 3km over flat ground) provides you with the perfect opportunity to get ‘off the beaten track’ and gain a better understanding of Cambodian local life, along with an insight into traditional Khmer culture.

   2 h

2. Continue by head north toward Angkor Thom. This majestic site once served as the Khmer Empire's glistening capital city. Take a moment to consider its grandiosity before venturing inside the city. Arriving at the temple at Bayon, appreciate its beautifully crafted central towers covered in more than 200 enormous faces.

   2 h

3. Move to Ta Prohm—a temple set in the midst of the jungle. Wander the maze-like ruins of this ornate worship site, marveling at the fig trees that threaten to overtake the edifice. Having enjoyed your lunch (own expense) and rest at Khmer local restaurant near by the temple.

   1 h

4. Continue after lunch to Angkor Wat from the little-visited eastern side, the world’s largest sacred building and an architectural masterpiece. Built in the 12th century the temple took 30 years to build and represents the Khmer civilisation at its grandest.

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.
