Itinerary:

  • 4:30 AM: Hotel Pickup: Begin your day with an early morning pickup from your hotel by your private guide and driver. Travel in comfort in a private air-conditioned vehicle as you make your way to the Angkor Archaeological Park, ready to witness one of the world’s most unforgettable sunrises.
  • 5:00 AM: Sunrise at Angkor Wat: Arrive at Angkor Wat, the crown jewel of Cambodia’s ancient temples. As the darkness fades, watch in awe as the sun rises behind the temple’s towering spires, reflecting in the tranquil lotus pond in front. This is a prime moment for photography, so have your camera ready to capture the stunning silhouette of Angkor Wat bathed in the soft morning light.
  • 7:00 AM: Breakfast Break: After witnessing the sunrise, you’ll have some time to enjoy breakfast at a local restaurant (meal not included in the tour price). Your guide can recommend a spot where you can try some traditional Cambodian dishes or enjoy a familiar breakfast to fuel up for the rest of the day.
  • 8:00 AM – 10:00 AM: Explore Angkor Wat: After breakfast, return to Angkor Wat for a deeper exploration. Built in the early 12th century during the reign of King Suryavarman II, Angkor Wat is not only the largest religious monument in the world but also a masterpiece of Khmer architecture. Your guide will lead you through its vast galleries, intricate bas-reliefs, and central sanctuary, explaining the history, symbolism, and stories behind the temple’s stunning carvings.
  • 10:30 AM – 11:30 AM: Visit Angkor Thom and Bayon Temple: Next, journey to the ancient city of Angkor Thom, the last capital of the Khmer Empire. Enter through the grand South Gate, adorned with statues of gods and demons, and proceed to the Bayon Temple at the center of the city. Known for its enigmatic stone faces, Bayon is a fascinating structure with 54 towers, each featuring four faces that are said to represent the Bodhisattva of compassion. As you explore, your guide will share insights into the temple’s unique architectural features and the historical significance of Angkor Thom.
  • 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM: Lunch at a Local Restaurant: Pause for lunch at a local restaurant within or near the Angkor Archaeological Park (meal not included in the tour price). This is a great opportunity to relax and sample more Cambodian cuisine, with your guide on hand to offer recommendations.
  • 1:30 PM – 2:30 PM: Visit Ta Prohm Temple (Tomb Raider Temple): After lunch, head to Ta Prohm, one of the most atmospheric temples in the Angkor complex. Left in much the same condition as it was found, Ta Prohm is famous for the giant trees and sprawling roots that have become intertwined with the stone ruins. The temple was famously featured in the movie Tomb Raider, and walking through its crumbling corridors and courtyards offers a glimpse into how nature has reclaimed these ancient structures over the centuries.
  • 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM: Visit Banteay Kdei Temple: Your final stop of the day is Banteay Kdei, a peaceful temple complex that’s often less crowded than the others. Built in the late 12th century, Banteay Kdei offers a more intimate exploration, with its long hallways, courtyards, and delicate carvings that depict scenes from Buddhist mythology. This tranquil temple is the perfect place to conclude your exploration of Angkor’s incredible monuments.
  • 4:30 PM: Return to Hotel: After a full day of exploring, your private driver will take you back to your hotel, where you can relax and reflect on the incredible sights you’ve seen.
