Pick-up at your hotel: Early departure from your hotel to admire the unforgettable sunrise over Angkor Wat, the most famous temple complex of the Angkor Archaeological Park. The entire archaeological site spans over 400 square kilometers/ 4305 square feet and was declared a UNSECO World Heritage Site in 1992.

After breakfast, which you can either have at the food stalls/restaurants in Angkor Park or returning to your hotel with us, our driver brings the group to the south gate of Angkor Thom. It is the most beautiful and best preserved of the five entrances to Angkor Thom, the largest complex of the Angkor Archaeological Park. The royal city of Angkor Thom was built at the end of the 12th to the beginning of the 13th century.

Here you will find the main temple Bayon of King Jayavarman VII. It is famous for its 37 towers with sculptural decorations and impressive rock faces.

As you might guess from the name, this site is made up of three platforms surrounded by elephants carved in stone and representing an elephant hunt.

It is considered one of the most beautiful Khmer artworks. The name comes from King Yasovarman I, who built the first city of Angkor and died of leprosy. The relief is very detailed and extremely well preserved.

The royal temple is one of the smallest temples of Angkor. At the top of the 12-meter-high pyramid you have a great view of the entire archaeological site of Angkor Thom.

After lunch, which you can choose from the wide range of local and international food offered directly in the Angkor Park area, we visit a smaller temple located about 4.5 km/ 2.7 mi from Angkor Wat, called Ta Nei. It isn't part of the main tourist routes of Angkor because tour buses do not reach the place. Therefore Ta Nei is not so crowded and there is enough room to explore the temple of King Jayavarman VII with our guide.

Before you visit the most famous temple complex called Angkor Wat, our driver will take you to Ta Prohm. The “Jungle Temple”, which was built by Jayavarman VII in honor of his mother. The temple was almost swallowed by the jungle. The impressive Bayon architecture merges with the tropical forest. The unforgettable scenery was made famous by the movie “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider” starring Angelina Jolie. It is an unforgettable sight as nature incorporates a former civilization. Definitively a highlight of the first day of your trip in Angkor.

A short drive will take you to Angkor Wat, the most famous temple in historic Angkor Park. Angkor Wat with its pagoda was once the center of the mighty Khmer kingdom. You can climb the steep steps up to the tower and have a magnificent view over the World Heritage Site of Angkor. Your guide will tell you exciting stories of the Khmer Empire and its kings of long ago. One thing is certain, you will not get bored. Maybe your feet will get a bit tired, but the UNESCO World Heritage Site is worth the effort.
