Embark on a 2-day Cambodian Temples Tour and explore the magnificent Angkor Wat, Taprohm temple, Beng Mealea, and Banteay Srie. Capture the sunrise, immerse in history, and experience the beauty of these ancient temples.
Angkor Wat Complex with Sunrise (4:30am – 2:30pm)
Angkor Wat - Begin your early morning tour at 4:30am to witness the stunning sunrise at Angkor Wat. The sun will rise behind the temple, creating a silhouette of its uniquely shaped towers against a colorful sky. This is also an ideal time to explore Angkor Wat, Cambodia’s ancient temple city, which is one of the wonders of the oriental world. The temple is a masterpiece of decorative details and architectural style, with awe-inspiring ruins that stand as a testament to the spectacular achievements of Southeast Asia’s greatest civilization. According to Hindu mythology, it is a replica of the universe, composed of Mount Meru, surrounded by continents and oceans. Its extraordinary bas-reliefs depict various Khmer epics and myths. Angkor Wat’s five famous towers rise into the sky, forming a geometrical arrangement of numerous galleries adorned with bas-reliefs and stone images of celestial Apsara dancers, as well as portals, chambers, and courtyards.
Enjoy breakfast at a local restaurant in front of Angkor Wat or return to your hotel for breakfast and a short rest.
Ta Prohm - Next, visit Ta Prohm, a quiet, sprawling monastic complex that is only partially cleared of jungle overgrowth. It offers some of the best “tree-in-temple” photo opportunities in the Angkor Complex.
Have lunch at a local restaurant near the Angkor area.
Bayon Temple - In the afternoon, visit Bayon Temple (Angkor Thom), known for its giant stone faces that have become one of the most recognizable images of classic Khmer art and architecture. There are 37 standing towers, most of them featuring four carved faces oriented toward the cardinal points.
Baphuon Temple - Nearby is Baphuon Temple, a Hindu temple built in the 11th century before Angkor Wat. The large Reclining Buddha behind it was added in the 16th century. Continue to the Royal Enclosure Wall.
Phimeanakas - Phimeanakas is a pyramid-shaped Hindu temple built in the 10th century, located in the center of the old Royal Palace of Angkor Thom. You can visit Phimeanakas along with the ancient Royal Enclosure Wall.
Terrace of the Elephants - The Terrace of the Elephants is a platform used by many kings to view their victorious returning armies. The platform’s wall is adorned with carvings of elephants. This impressive, two-and-a-half-meter tall, 300-meter long terrace wall spans the heart of Angkor Thom.
Terrace of the Leper King - This double terrace wall features deeply carved nagas, demons, and other mythological beings. It is named after the statue of the ‘Leper King’ that sits on top.
Preah Palilay - A picturesque sandstone and laterite tower set in a cool, shaded forest. The eastern gopura displays some particularly nice Buddhist-themed carvings.
Optional: Watch the sunset from Bakheng Mountain to end Day 1 of your tour.
Beng Mealea & Banteay Srei Tour (8:00am – 5:00pm)
Beng Mealea - In the morning, head to Beng Mealea, a Hindu temple located about 60 kilometers from Siem Reap town. The jungle covers over a 1-square kilometer area of the temple, which was built around the end of the 11th century before Angkor Wat. With very little restoration, you can walk through these mysterious archaeological sites with a sense of adventure. While there may be no great sculptures, it’s a great way to immerse yourself in beautiful archaeological sites.
Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant near Beng Mealea Temple.
Banteay Srei - In the afternoon, visit Banteay Srei, a temple whose name translates to ‘citadel of women,’ likely referring to the delicate beauty of its carvings. Banteay Srei displays some of the finest examples of classical Khmer art.
