Full Day Angkor Park with Sunset by Tuk Tuk - Private Tour

Highlights

Inclusions

Itinerary

1. The temples of Angkor represent 600 years (802-1432) of Khmer civilisation - one of Asia’s greatest Kingdoms. Depart your hotel at 8.00am by tuk-tuk (motorised trolley), and spend the whole day exploring the awesome temples of Angkor. Start with Angkor Wat, 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.

   2 h

2. Continue to visit the southern Gate of Angkor Thom, flanked by a row of 54 stone figures on each side - gods to the left and demons to the right – and the fortified city of Angkor Thom. At ‘The Bayon’ (12th century) we see its beautifully crafted central towers, covered in more than 200 enormous faces, then explore the famous Terrace of the Leper King, and the Terrace of Elephants.

   2 h

3. After lunch and a rest break we set out for Preah Khan temple. Known as the ‘Temple of the Sacred Sword’, Preah Kahn was recently restored by the World Monument Fund.

   1 h

4. At the end of the day we move on to the jungle-enveloped Ta Prohm – one of the most atmospheric of all temples in Angkor. Once home to 2,740 monks, Ta Prohm today looks much as it did in the early 1850s, when French explorer Henri Mouhot ‘rediscovered’ this crumbling site.

   1 h

5. After exploring the maze-like interior of Ta Prohm, continue to see sunset at Bakheng Mountain temple before return back to your hotel after a long but fulfilling day, which will leave you with a lifetime of memories of one of wonders of the world.

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.
