Essential Angkor

Arrive in Siem Reap and transfer to hotel. This afternoon, depart on a very special sightseeing tour of the famous Angkor Wat. With your guide explore the temple and learn its fascinating history. During sunset time, Angkor Wat is less visited, and the Apsaras will shine in the most beautiful light. Return to your hotel.

Start your day with a tour of the Small Circuit temples, including the vine-covered Ta Prohm, Banteay Kdei and Srah Srang. Later today, visit the ancient city of Angkor Thom by local tuk tuk. Angkor Thom was the last capital of the Great Khmer Empire under the reign of Jayavarman VII. This city is surrounded by an 8 m high wall, drawing a perfect square. Your day concludes at Bayon Temple, in the exact center of the Angkor city.

Today embark on a local boat trip on the Tonlé Sap Lake, where you will have the opportunity to learn about life on Southeast Asia`s largest freshwater lake. Pass by floating houses and flooded forests as you cruise to Kampong Phluck, a village with houses on stilts that are submerged whenever Tonlé Sap Lake expands. Finally, transfer to the airport for your departure flight.
