Combodia Siem Reap, Angkor Wat Tour
Duration – 3 nights 4 days
Day 01: Arrive in Siem Reap, Angkor Wat Sunset Tour
On arrival at Siem Reap International Airport. Pickup by driver /guide transfer to hotel . The gateway to Angkor, Siem Reap was first settled around 802, although it was little more than a village by the time the French arrived in the 19th century and ‘rediscovered’ the ancient temple city in the jungle nearby. Nowadays, the UNESCO Heritage-listed Angkor Wat—meaning Temple City—is the most popular tourist destination in Cambodia, for good reason. This afternoon, you’ll begin your exploration of the world-famous temple complex with a visit to Angkor Wat, the largest religious building in the world.
After watching the sunset over the iconic temple, you’ll leave the Angkor complex and head back to town via tuk-tuk. On the way, you’ll stop to visit the local night market. Night at Siem Reap.
Day 02 Visit Angkor Thom
Early morning enjoy the beautiful Sunrise light and make the most of the cooler morning before heading back to the city around lunchtime so you can relax during the hottest hours of the day. You’ll start your day with a trip to the temples in a remork (Cambodian tuk-tuk). Today, you’ll be visiting the ancient walled city of Angkor Thom, the last capital of the Khmer Empire, and the home of some of the most impressive temples and buildings in the Angkor complex, like the famous Bayon temple.Night at Siem Reap.
Day 03 – Siem Reap
Early morning leave from hotel around 5 am to experience sunrise at the pyramid-shaped Pre Rup. Ascend the lion-guarded staircase for an excellent view over the forest canopy, and see the sun rise over the rice paddies with the iconic towers of Angkor Wat in the distance. Make your way to Sra Srang, the royal bathing pool, with a quick stop-off in a nearby village to enjoy an authentic Cambodian breakfast soup—an energizing blend of rice noodles and a fish-based green curry gravy made from lemongrass, kaffir lime, and turmeric, topped with fresh greens—freshly prepared by a local family in their traditional wooden house.
After eating your fill, hop back in your tuk-tuk for the next stop on the Angkor City tour, Ta Prohm. Arguably the most well-known temple in the complex, after Angkor Wat itself, Ta Prohm is one of the most photogenic temples in the historic city, due to the giant strangler fig branches and roots that are slowly reclaiming the temple to the jungle. Also known as the “Tomb Raider” temple, this 12th-century monument is quite the spectacle.
The rest of the day’s itinerary depends on you. Your guide and driver can take you to see temples of the Grand Circuit such as Preah Khan and Ta Som. Alternatively, you can choose to head a little further afield and visit the beautiful Banteay Srei—the Citadel of the Women.
Day 04 – Drop at Siem Reap
After breakfast checkout from hotel and drop at Siem Reap airport .
