Description
A genuinely astounding sight and worthwhile the early start! Anticipate the basic viewing site by the pond and see Angkor Wat and its reflection. Give yourself the gift of a Angkor Wat Temple day trip
Pick up at your hotel at 4:30AM and transfer to Angkor Wat for sunrise. The silhouette of the largest religious monument ever built slowly emerges in front of you as darkness gives way to the first rays of dawn.... This is a truly spectacular sight and well worth the early start today! When the colours of sunrise begin to fade you will explore the inner parts of Angkor Wat, learn about its history and the fascinating stories behind the intricate carvings adorning the walls of the temple galleries. Next, we go to Angkor Thom through the South Gate with two rows of Deve and Asura ( God and Demon ) respectively holding the body of Naga. The gate with four giant faces is 23m high. Then, visit Bayon temple– silent witnesses of time, the 216 enigmatic faces gaze over the horizon and one can only wonder what they have seen throughout the ages. Your guide will point out the best angles for photography here and give explanation of the many intricate carvings on the walls of the galleries. With its long causeway and an impressive giant Reclining Buddha, a jigsaw puzzle only put back together in 2011 following a 37 year-long disruption caused by the war. PhimeanAkas Hiding in the shaded jungle and offers a decent over-the-tree-tops view to those who conquer the steep steps to the top. After that, we go to visit the Terrace of Elephant and Leper King.
Finally we reach Ta Prohm, gained its 21st Century fame from the movie Tomb Raider featuring Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft. Today, with Lara long gone, this temple is on the itinerary of most visitors and rightfully so. Many corners of Ta Prohm showcase an intricate relationship between the roots of Spung tree and ancient stones covered in moss. Return to Siem Reap Town and drop off.
