Overview

This private 2-day tour covers the main temples of Angkor, focusing on the Khmer Empire’s architecture from 802 to 1432 AD. The tour starts with a sunrise visit to Angkor Wat, followed by visits to Bayon temple known for its many carved faces, and several less-visited temples. The guide provides historical details throughout. Travel is by private air-conditioned vehicle, and hotel pickup and drop-off are included. Guests receive bottled water and a cool towel during the tour. Depending on the option chosen, the sunset is viewed either from Bakheng Mountain (small group) or near rice fields (private). An English-speaking guide leads the tour. Visitors must purchase the temple pass separately, and food and drinks are at personal expense.

Itinerary

1

First stop at Pre Rup Hindu temple built as the state temple of Khmer king Rajendravarman and dedicated in 961 or early 962. It is a temple mountain of combined brick, laterite and sandstone construction. Late afternoon return to town after a memorable day exploration.

60 min

2

Visiting the intricately carved and well-preserved Banteay Srei. The detailed reliefs on this smaller sandstone structure are regarded as the finest, most skillfully crafted in Cambodia.

120 min

3

Move to Neak Pean, an artificial island with a Buddhist temple.

60 min

4

Continue by moving on to Preah Khan temple, a ruined but highly atmospheric mélange of tree roots and crumbling stone structures.

120 min

5

Relax in the peaceful setting of Siem Reap’s rice fields as the sun sets over the horizon. This option offers a simple yet authentic countryside experience, where you can sip a cold drink and enjoy a light local snack while watching the golden colors of the sunset.

120 min

6

Begin with a pre-dawn departure for sunrise outside of Angkor Wat. Enter the great temple in darkness (please bring a torch) from the little-visited eastern side, and creep along hoary cloistered corridors past the longest stretch of bas-relief carvings in the world.

180 min

7

Move on to the jungle-enveloped Ta Prohm – one of the most atmospheric temples in Angkor, once home to 2,740 monks.

120 min

Afternoon drive to Ta Nei, a late 12th Century stone temple located in Angkor.
