Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

You will be picked up from your hotel between 4:20 and 4:40 a.m. (depending on your hotel location) to visit Angkor Wat. Travel to the ticket office takes about 15 to 30 minutes. After purchasing your ticket, it will take another 15 minutes to reach Angkor Wat. then arrive at the western part of Angkor Wat by crossing the floating bridge and will enjoy surrounding at dawn to reach the pond inside the Angkor Wat complex. After arriving at the pond, we will stand and watch the beautiful sky above Angkor Wat before the sun goes up. We will then take about two hours to visit some of the other areas of Angkor Wat, where you will see statues, bas-relief, libraries, and other parts of the central tower. After visiting Angkor Wat, we will take about 35 to 45 minutes for breakfast.

On the road from Angkor Wat, this is the good point of entry to the city for more visitors. All five gates similar, but the south Gate has been the most extensively restored and the it the most complete, this place your tour guide will take about 15 minutes explanation before continue to visit Bayon temple

Stop 3

Bayon temple is sufficiently compact to encourage any order of visit, particularly as the absence of a surrounding wall make it easy to enter the temple. The confusion of the inner enclosure, with its narrow chamber corridors and stairway, giving occasional surprise glimpses of the enigmatic faces, is itself a fascinating experience. You will learn from your tour guide a lot from your tour guide.

Stop 4

Enjoy lunch at your own expense, and a rest break before move on to the jungle-enveloped Ta Prohm – one of the most atmospheric of all temples in Angkor. Once home to 2,740 monks, Ta Prohm today looks much as it did in the early 1850s, when French explorer Henri Mouhot ‘rediscovered’ this crumbling site. After exploring the maze-like interior of Ta Prohm, return to your hotel after a long but fulfilling day, which will leave you with a lifetime of memories of one of the wonders of the world. We end the tour and return to Siem Reap town and drop off at your hotel at 3:30PM to 4:30 PM depend on your hotel location.

Stop 5

Considered by many to be the jewel in the crown of Angkorian art, Banteay Srei is cut from stone of a pinkish hue and includes some of the finest stone carving anywhere on earth. Begun in 967 CE, it is one of the smallest sites at Angkor, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in stature. The art gallery of Angkor, this Hindu temple dedicated to Shiva is wonderfully well preserved, and many of its carvings are three-dimensional.
Banteay Srei means ‘Citadel of the Women’, and it is said that it must have been built by a woman, as the elaborate carvings are supposedly too fine for the hand of a man.
