On the first day you will explore Angkor Wat and several of the most iconic temples in the Angkor Archaeological Park, giving you an unforgettable introduction to the Khmer Empire. The variety of architectural styles and the changing natural surroundings make each site feel distinct, while the carvings and paintings carved into the stone reveal the cultural depth and sophistication of this ancient civilisation. Your guide will pick you up at 4:30 am for an early departure to witness the sunrise over Angkor Wat, a moment that many travellers consider the highlight of their visit. The complex extends across more than 400 square kilometres (4,305 square feet) and was recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1992. After sunrise, the tour continues through the magnificent Angkor Wat temple itself, the ancient city of Angkor Thom, the striking Bayon temple with its serene smiling faces, the atmospheric forest temple of Ta Phrohm, where giant tree roots embrace the ruins, and the peaceful Ta Nei hidden among the trees.
The second day begins with an 8:00 am pick-up as you head toward some of Angkor’s lesser-visited yet deeply fascinating sites. Your journey leads to Kbal Spean, located deep in the jungle about 60 kilometres (37 miles) from the main archaeological area. Known as the “river of a thousand lingas,” this site lies along the slope of the Kulen mountain and features carvings etched directly into the riverbed and natural rock formations. Reaching it requires an enjoyable 1,500-metre forest trek. After this experience, you will continue to Banteay Srie, often referred to as the Lady Temple. Built in the 9th century, it is admired for its pink sandstone and incredibly detailed carvings, making it one of the finest and most delicate works of Khmer architecture.
