Hop on a tuk-tuk and set off early to see the sunrise over the magnificent Angkor Wat, the world’s largest religious monument and the best-preserved temple in the Angkor Complex.
Continue to Ta Prohm, one of Cambodia's most beloved temples, which is in the same condition as it was found. Admire the combination of large trees growing out of the ruins and the surrounding jungle that gives the temple a truly magical feel.
Take a break for lunch and then set off to the South Gate of Angkor Thom, where statues of the gods of the good and evil line the entrance. Next visit Bayon, a richly decorated temple with hundreds of smiling faces that grace its towers. Observe the impressive bas-reliefs that tell stories of daily life and of the great battles that were fought between the Khmers and ancient Thais.
Move on to Phimeanakas, a pyramid-shaped temple with two ponds in the rear. Climb to its top and take in the awe-inspiring sight of the Angkor ruins below before taking in row upon row of elephant trunks that form the wall of the Terrace of the Elephants.
