Stop 1

Our tour begins with convenient pick-up from your hotel, followed by a scenic ride to Angkor Wat to witness the breathtaking sunrise. Our local expert guide will lead you to one of the best and quietest spots to enjoy and capture this magical moment. After sunrise, you'll explore inside the majestic Angkor Wat temple, where your guide will help you avoid the crowds and find the best photo opportunities.

Next, we’ll visit one of the most iconic temples in Siem Reap—Ta Prohm, famously known as the Tomb Raider Temple.

Here, you can wander through the quiet surroundings and truly connect with the spiritual atmosphere, without the crowds. It’s the perfect stop for travelers who want to feel the soul of the temple—not just see it. This hidden gem offers a more intimate experience and a chance to reflect in silence among the ancient stones.

Step through the ancient Victory Gate, a grand entrance built during the height of the Khmer Empire in the 12th century. As you walk beneath its towering arch, you'll be greeted by the serene, smiling faces of Buddha carved into the stone—appearing as if they are welcoming you into a land rich with culture, history, and spiritual beauty

Stop 5

Discover the iconic Bayon Temple, known for its towers adorned with mysterious smiling faces, located in the heart of the ancient Khmer capital. As you explore this architectural wonder, our local guide will share captivating stories and insights into traditional Khmer lifestyles—bringing the temple’s carvings and history to life, and making your visit even more meaningful and memorable.
