Duration: 08:00 hours
Description
Visit Angkor Wat's towers glowing in the morning sun. Discover Angkor Thom complex including Bayon, Baphuon, Terrace of the Elephants and temples nearby. Immerse in Ta Prohm's jungle surroundings.
At 4:45 AM., you will be picked up from your hotel for the incredible sunrise experience at Angkor Wat. Our guide will show you the best spots to photograph the sun setting behind the temple. Emerging as dawn breaks, you can watch the sunrise illuminate the towering temple from the west size of Angkor Wat. Over the next hour, your guide will provide expert commentary as you explore Angkor Wat's inner sanctuaries and upper levels.
Your morning tour of Angkor Wat comes to an end. You'll have a takeaway breakfast from your hotel to eat outside the temple. Then a short break to rest before continuing on to more sights.
Refueled and re-energized, the tour continues with a visit to the neighboring walled city of Angkor Thom and its enigmatic Bayon temple. First up is the mysterious Bayon temple at its center, with its towers adorned by over 200 immense stone faces emanating an eerie ambience. Your guide will provide insights into this 12th century temple's symbolic carvings and architecture. We'll then spend time wandering the causeways of the Terrace of the Elephants and Terrace of Leper King, taking in the scale of what must have been grand processions. Our touring within Angkor Thom also includes a visit to Baphuon temple, located just north of Bayon. Once one of Angkor's tallest structures, we'll marvel at its now-collapsed condition while learning of past restoration efforts.
Enjoy refreshing drink at your own expense before heading to Ta Prohm temple. As you enter its boundaries, towering root-bound corridors greet you, evoking a memorable sense of entering an ancient jungle sanctuary. Unlike other restored temples, Ta Prohm has been left largely as it was discovered in the 19th century, suffocating in the dense embrace of vivid green vegetation. Mighty tree roots now swallow whole courtyards and encircle monolithic stones, a reminder of nature's formidable ability to reclaim what was once manmade. Your guide will share the site's history and stories of early Western explorers while leading you on a sensory journey amid this evocative fusion of architecture and nature.
Wrapping up your guided explorations by late afternoon, you will be drop off at your hotel around 12:00-13:00
