Sunrise at Angkor Wat and Exploration of Angkor's Temples
Meet your tour guide and driver, who will pick you up from your hotel at 4:30 a.m., and visit the world-famous temples in the Angkor Archaeological Site, listed by UNESCO since 14 December 1992. Start at Angkor Wat to witness the most highlighted sunrise at Angkor Wat, as the sun rises daily behind the temple. Continue to explore the Angkor Wat complex. Transfer back to your hotel for breakfast. After enjoying breakfast at the hotel, continue to visit the South Gate of Angkor Thom. Bayon Temple is located in the center of Angkor Thom. Walk through the city of Angkor Thom to rediscover more temples such as Baphuon, Phimeanakas, Terrace of Elephants, and Terrace of the Leper King. Head to the famous temples of Ta Nei and Ta Prom (Tomb Raider Temple). It is a very well-known temple because it was featured in the movie Tomb Raider, and it is a unique temple in the Angkor complex because the jungle still crowns it. It was lost in the jungle for four centuries, from the 16th to the 19th century. After exploring the site, continue for lunch at a local restaurant. Go to Pre Rup Temple before transferring back to your hotel.
