Highlights
- Angkor Wat - Via the official entrance, we head straight over to Angkor Wat, erected in the 12th century and covering an areas almost 210 hectares. The pride of the country featuring on its blue-red-white coloured national flag, Angkor Wat is Cambodia’s ancient temple city which is one of the wonders of the oriental world. \n\nYour guide will lead the way in exploring the many galleries with columns, pavilions, courtyards, libraries and ponds full of water reflecting the towering temple. Intricately-carved reliefs extend the length of the outer walls and corridors, depicting mythological scenes and day to day life at the time of Angkor’s construction, built under the watchful eye of King Soryavarman II, Angkor Wat is the cultural home of the Khmer people, in various guises, and remains awe-inspiring with its five famous towers that rise into the sky even for repeating visitors.\n\n- Ta Prohm - Next on our itinerary is the Ta Phrom: one of these bucket list temples when entering the Angkor temple region because of its entwined connection with the Siem Reap jungle. Originally constructed as a monastery in the same century as Angkor Wat by Jayavarman VII and a shrine for its mother, archaeologists decided to leave its jungle-clad cover with huge tree roots covering the base and the roof of Ta Phrom as a reminder how the first visitors found this temple. Without a doubt, Ta Phrom has been on the foundation of Angkor’s huge popularity. \n\nIt is regretfully time to head back to your hotel under the professional guidance of your guide and driver.

Incredible morning, fantastic guide! - INCREDIBLE!! Where to start...our guide Ngan Sopheap was absolutely brilliant, her English and knowledge of the temples was second to none. We were collected at 8am and taken to get our entry passes to the temples. Our guide asked us if we didn't mind doing the temples round the reverse way than what was advertised, so Ta Prohm 1st then Angkor Wat she advised we would beat some of the crowds this way round (and that's exactly what we did).
Ta Prohm is beautiful, seeing how nature has taken over the temple and the way the trees have wrapped around this impressive temple is just mind blowing. Next stop Angkor Wat....what a sight to see. In truth its hard to believe how this temple was built let alone knowing it was built in the 12th century. The carvings and the structures were so beautiful and the grounds so well kept. Our guide was so informative and helpful we couldn't ask for anything more. My only advise would be to ensure you have plenty of water and a good hat, Angkor Wat is very open with shade few and far between. Highly recommend this trip.

Ta Prohm is everything you imagine and more! - Whatever you do in Cambodia do not make the mistake of only seeing Angkor Wat as while it is impressive it feels like a tourist trap - Ta Prohm is the true treasure where nature is reclaiming what man hath wrought.
