Detailed itinerary

Stop 1
See the temples before the crowds, rainstorms and rising humidity do. You will be met and greeted by your guide and driver for the day at 8 AM, after your breakfast, and
departing to visit the Mother Temple of Angkor Wat.
This 7th well-known temple is thought to be the world's largest religious structure. This temple is the epitome of symbolism and symmetry, and it is a source of great pride for all Khmers. We begin by deciphering the
mysteries of the bas-reliefs depicting Hindu mythology and the glory of the Khmer empire.

Venturing into Ta Prohm is akin to entering an otherworldly realm, where man's artistic prowess intertwines with nature's relentless force. As we explore the ancient corridors and moss-covered walls, we are immediately captivated by the enthralling sight of nature's ceaseless struggle for dominance. Towering above, ethereal tentacle-like roots dangle from majestic trees, silently creeping across stone surfaces as if orchestrating their slow demise. This mesmerizing interaction, frozen in time, recalls the audacious spirit of French explorer Henri Mouhot, who stumbled upon this hidden treasure in 1860.

The temple's serene ambiance lingers in our hearts, etching a memory that will forever remain encapsulated in time.
