DAY ONE

Begin your day with a tour of Angkor Thom, which includes visits to the Bayon Temple, Baphuon, Terrace of the Elephants, and Terrace of the Leper King. Angkor Thom, founded by Jayavarman VII in the 12th century, was one of the largest Khmer cities and remained the capital until the 17th century. Then, visit Ta Prohm, known for its massive tree roots enveloping the temple structures.

After lunch, explore Angkor Wat, the Seventh Wonder of the World. Spend your afternoon marveling at this iconic temple. As the day comes to an end, climb Bakheng Hill to enjoy a spectacular sunset view. Return to Siem Reap for dinner at a local restaurant and stay overnight.

DAY TWO

On the second day, venture into the typical Khmer countryside to visit Banteay Srey, the “Citadel of Women” or “Citadel of Beauty,” noted for its size and intricate decorations. Next, explore Banteay Samre, built in the late 12th century, featuring a central temple with four wings, a hall, and two libraries, all enclosed by two concentric walls and continue your journey to East Mebon Temple and Pre Rup.
