Itinerary
Angkor Wat is the largest religious monument in the world, and the world's most famous sunrise. It is an astonishingly large and ambitious complex symbolising the power and majesty of the ancient Angkor civilisation.
Ta Prohm is a picturesque and attractive ruin partially retaken by jungle. It is also known as 'the Tomb Raider temple', made famous by Angelina Jolie in the 2001 film.
Ta Keo was never finished, and as such has a very different aspect to most of the Angkor temples. It's square, layered-pyramid shape makes it one of the more dramatic sites on the tour and climbing the terraces affords some beautiful views over the jungle.
Angkor Thom was the latter capital of the Angkor Empire. The road takes us through the famous South Gate, lined with gods and demons locked in an eternal tug-of-war. The temple of Bayon at the centre of the site is lined with countless beatific carved faces, gazing eternally at the surrounding forest.
Phnom Bakheng is a hilltop temple built hundreds of years before Angkor Wat. It is also one of the best places to watch the sunset in Cambodia, as it overlooks Angkor Wat itself.

Our tour guide Sok was very informative throughout the whole tour. Transport was on time and bus had aircon and cold water for us.
We had a full day with guide Sok. It was very informative. Sok speaks English fluently and knows how to transfer his much knowledge of the temples and the history of the region in a way that gets you interested the whole time. We very much recommend this trip and this guide. In all fairness, we don't think it'll be that much interesting without the information you get at a tour like this. Thank you Sok for the lovely tour.
