Description
Begin your day with a mesmerizing sunrise at Angkor Wat, the world’s largest religious monument and a symbol of Cambodia’s rich heritage. As the first golden rays of sunlight illuminate the intricate carvings and towering spires, witness the temple’s breathtaking beauty in the tranquil morning atmosphere. With the reflection shimmering in the lotus-filled moat, this magical moment is a truly unforgettable experience.
After soaking in the serene sunrise, head to a local restaurant within the Angkor Archaeological Park to enjoy a traditional Cambodian breakfast (at your own expense). Savor local delicacies such as Bai Sach Chrouk (pork and rice) or a steaming bowl of Kuy Teav (noodle soup) before continuing your adventure.
Next, step into the Angkor Thom complex, where you’ll visit the magnificent Bayon Temple, the heart of the ancient city. This architectural marvel features 54 towers, each adorned with the enigmatic, smiling faces of Avalokiteshvara, symbolizing wisdom and compassion.
Your journey then takes you to the legendary Ta Prohm Temple, a site that has become synonymous with mystery and adventure. Left partially swallowed by the jungle, its stone walls are entwined with colossal tree roots, creating a striking blend of nature and history. Made famous by its appearance in the 2001 Tomb Raider movie, Ta Prohm’s atmospheric ruins transport you to another era, where history and nature exist in perfect harmony.
We’ll return to town around midday (12:30 PM).
