Angkor Thom:

After breakfast our driver will bring the group to the South Gate of Angkor Thom. It is the most beautiful and best preserved of the five entrances to Angkor Thom, the biggest complex of the Angkor Archaeological Park. The royal city Angkor Thom was built in the late 12th to early 13th century.

Bayon Temple: Here you will visit the main temple Bayon built by king Jayavarman VII. It is famous for its 37 towers with sculptural decorations many of them with the iconic faces carved into the rocks.

Terrace of the Elephants: As you would guess by the name this site is formed by three platforms surrounded by stone carved elephants and the portrayal of an elephant hunt.

Terrace of the Leeper King: It is said to be one of the most beautiful Khmer artworks. The name comes from king Yasovarman I who built the first city of Angkor and died of leeper. The relief is very detailed an well preserved.

Phimeanakas: The royal temple is one of the smallest temples of Angkor. On top of the 12 meters / 39 feet high Pyramid you have a great view on the whole archeological site of Angkor Thom.

Lunch break in the Angkor area:

You can decide where you want to have your lunch and whether you prefer local food or international cuisine. Grilled seafood, a Khmer Curry or a steak with fries, it is your decision.

Ta Nei Temple

This small temple is about 4.5 km/ 2.8 mi from Angkor Wat and doesn’t belong to the main tourist areas of Angkor because tour buses don’t reach the site. Therefore it is not so crowded and you have space to explore the temple of king Jayavarman VII with your guide.

Ta Prohm

Before exploring the most famous temple Angkor Wat, our driver will bring you to Ta Prohm, the “Jungle Temple”, which was built by Jayavarman VII to honor his mother. The temple got swallowed by the jungle. The impressive Bayon architecture merges with the jungle. It is especially famous because of the movie “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider” featuring Angelina Jolie. It is an unforgettable set-up of nature taking in a former civilization.
