Description

Undoubtedly the breathtaking view of the temple complex as the sun rises over the horizon, casting a golden glow on the ancient structures. This magical moment is often considered one of the most iconic and memorable experiences in Cambodia.
We commence with a pre-dawn departure (between 4:20 and 4:40 am, depending on your hotel location) to witness the sunrise outside Angkor Wat.

Immerse yourself in the ambiance of dawn at Angkor Wat, from the periphery of one of the ancient library pools. Following this, we delve into the heart of the grand temple, dedicating a comprehensive one hour to explore its corridors, central chambers, and upper terraces. Your knowledgeable local guide will interpret the multitude of stories embedded in the bas-relief carvings, providing you with a glimpse into life during the apex of the Khmer empire. We conclude our tour at Angkor with an outdoor breakfast and a brief respite.

Proceed on your journey to the jungle-shrouded Ta Prohm, one of the most atmospheric temples in Angkor. Once inhabited by 2,740 monks, Ta Prohm today retains much of its appearance from the early 1850s when it was 'rediscovered' by French explorer Henri Mouhot. After navigating the labyrinthine interior of Ta Prohm, return to your hotel following a long yet rewarding day that will provide you with enduring memories of this world wonder.

From Ta Prohm, travel towards Angkor Thom. This magnificent site once functioned as the gleaming capital city of the Khmer Empire. Before venturing into the city, take a moment to appreciate its grandeur. Upon arrival at the Bayon temple, admire its beautifully crafted central towers adorned with more than 200 enormous faces.
