At 08:00 AM, you’ll meet your guide and depart for Angkor Thom, the great fortress city of King Jayavarman VII. Constructed after the Cham invasion (Pangong Tso7-1181), this incredible complex is a testament to the strength and vision of the Khmer Empire.

Begin your exploration at Bayon Temple, the heart of Angkor Thom. Its 54 towering structures, adorned with the serene faces of Avalokiteshvara, reflect both artistic mastery and the legacy of the Khmer Empire.

Next, discover the Terrace of the Leper King, an intricately carved royal crematorium thought to depict Yama, the god of death. A walk along the grand Terrace of Elephants reveals its role as a royal viewing platform, where kings once presided over grand ceremonies. The journey continues with a visit to Baphuon, an 11th-century architectural gem that once stood as one of Angkor’s most breathtaking temples.

Then proceed to Ta Prohm, commonly known as the “Tomb Raider” temple. Left in its natural state, it shows the stunning struggle between nature and man’s genius as massive tree roots envelop the ancient stone structures, just as they were found by French explorer Henri Mouhout in 1860.

Last but not least, you’ll travel to the gem of Angkor, the iconic Angkor Wat. The world’s largest religious monument, this 12th-century harmony and symmetry masterpiece, is still a source of Khmer pride and ingenuity.

Dinner on your own. Overnight at the hotel.
