Angkor Wat Sunrise Experience

Picked up early at your hotel in Siem Reap by tuk tuk, you will have chance to watch magnificent sunrise over Angkor Wat Temple. Dawn is one of the most beautiful and haunting times to visit the temples, whose ancient sandstone blocks are gilded gold by the early morning rays.

For your most convenience, a table with hot tea or coffee is arranged in a local restaurant nearby Angkor Wat. You may bring breakfast box that ordered from your hotel and enjoy here. This is the best way to avoid the crowd when other visitors go back to their hotel for breakfast.

Next stop is the South Gate (with its huge statues depicting the churning of the ocean of milk) and see the ancient capital of Angkor Thom built in the late 12th century. Then venture to Bayon Temple, famous for its 54 towers decorated with over 200 smiling faces of Avalokitesvara. You can take your time to walk around and explore these incredible and finest Khmer structures. The sheer beauty of their craftsmanship will leave you speechless.

Following this, visit the Royal Enclosure, the Elephants Terrace and the Terrace of the Leper King. The popular temple of Ta Prohm which is the modern name of the temple at Angkor, built in the late 12th to early 13th centuries. However, probably more famous for being the location where they filmed the Tomb Raider movie.

Finally, as your day of exploration winds-down, the driver will take you back to the town.
