Begin your day with a pickup from your hotel in Siem Reap. Head to Angkor Wat, a Hindu and later Buddhist temple complex, and the largest religious monument in the world. Built by the Khmer King Suryavarman II in the early 12th century, Angkor Wat is a symbol of Cambodia, appearing on its national flag.

After a break for lunch, visit Thommanon, a Hindu temple built during the reign of Suryavarman II. Then, explore Chau Say Tevoda, a Hindu temple dedicated to Shiva and Vishnu, known for its unique female sculptures of devatas.
