Banteay Srei, Grand Circuit Heritage Temples with Sunset

Siem Reap - Depart from your hotel at approximately 8:00 am.

Angkor Thom - Discover the fascinating temples located outside the city of Angkor Thom.

Pre Rup - Begin your journey with a visit to the Pre Rup Hindu temple, constructed as the state temple of Khmer King Rajendravarman and dedicated in 961 or early 962. This temple mountain features a combination of brick, laterite, and sandstone.

Banteay Srei - Continue your private 2-day Angkor Tour with a drive to the exquisitely carved and well-preserved Banteay Srei. The intricate reliefs on this smaller sandstone structure are considered the finest and most skillfully crafted in Cambodia. Banteay Srei has been accessible only since the late 1990s, following the departure of the Khmer Rouge.

Neak Pean - Return to visit the Neak Pean temples, an artificial island with a Buddhist temple situated on a circular island in Jayatataka Baray.

Preah Khan - Spend your afternoon at Preah Khan temple, a captivating blend of tree roots and crumbling stone structures. Commissioned by the renowned ‘temple builder’ Jayavaraman VII in honor of his father, this site offers an intriguing contrast to the grand Angkor Wat. Preah Khan is currently being restored by the World Monument Fund and is in remarkably good condition in some areas.

Phnom Bakheng - Conclude the day by enjoying the temple ruins, an ideal spot to witness a magical sunset. Return to town in the late afternoon after a memorable day of exploration on your private 2-day Angkor Tour.

Angkor Wat Highlights and Sunrise Guided Tour

Siem Reap - Hotel pick-up between 4:45 am and 5:00 am.

Angkor Thom - Start with a pre-dawn departure from your hotel to witness the sunrise outside Angkor Wat. Enter the magnificent temple in darkness from the less-visited eastern side, and wander through ancient cloistered corridors past the world’s longest stretch of bas-relief carvings. Experience the dawn atmosphere at Angkor from the edge of one of the ancient library pools.

Explore the interior of the great temple, spending two hours discovering the corridors, central chambers, and upper terraces of this remarkable site. Your knowledgeable local guide will unravel the myriad stories behind the bas-relief carvings, providing insight into life during the peak of the Khmer empire.

Angkor Thom South Gate - Visit the southern gate of Angkor Thom, flanked by 54 stone figures on each side – gods on the left and demons on the right – and the fortified city of Angkor Thom.

Bayon Temple - At ‘The Bayon’ (12th century), admire its beautifully crafted central towers adorned with over 200 enormous faces, then explore the famous Terrace of the Leper King and the Terrace of Elephants.

Srah Srang - Enjoy lunch at your own expense and take a rest before proceeding to the jungle-enveloped Ta Prohm at your own pace.

Ta Prohm - Ta Prohm, one of the most atmospheric temples in Angkor, was once home to 2,740 monks. Today, it appears much as it did in the early 1850s when French explorer Henri Mouhot ‘rediscovered’ this crumbling site. After exploring the maze-like interior of Ta Prohm, return to your hotel after a long but rewarding day, leaving you with unforgettable memories of one of the world’s wonders.

Siem Reap - Return to the hotel around 2:00 pm.
