02 DAYS - ANGKOR WAT HIGHLIGHTS
As the Angkor area has so many fascinating sights to see this is the shortest tour we recommend to enable you to get a feel of the Khmer Empire. As well as seeing the Royal city of Angkor Thom, and magnificent Angkor Wat, you will also discover many other wonderful temples such as Ta Prohm, Takeo, Preah Khan, and Pre Rup.
 Detail Itinerary

Day 01: Angkor Thom and the Small Circuit ( Lunch & Diner included )

On your first morning you collect your Angkor Conservation Area entrance pass, and continue onto the Small Circuit. This tour includes the huge pyramid of Takeo, and the jungle-clad Ta Prohm, made famous by the Hollywood blockbuster ‘Tomb Raider’. You continue to visit Sras Srang, known as the King's bathing pond, and Banteay Kdei, before exploring Prasat Kravan, an elegant brick temple. After lunch you explore the impressive Royal City of Angkor Thom, where you will find the Bayon, a temple famed for its many gigantic carved faces smiling beguilingly down at you. You will also visit other important sites in this immense walled city, including the pyramid of Baphuon, Phimeanakas, and the royal viewing stands known as the Terrace of the Elephants and the Terrace of the Leper King. If you have the time your guide will take you to an excellent spot for watching a mesmerising Angkor Wat sunset. This evening you will enjoy dinner and a fascinating Apsara dance show at a local restaurant.

Day 02: Angkor Wat and the Grand Circuit ( Breakfast & Lunch included )

You may choose to rise early today to catch the sun rising from behind Angkor Wat’s five carved towers - after being awed you return to your hotel for breakfast. After breakfast it is time to further discover the magnificent Angkor Wat, the world’s largest religious building. After lunch you continue your Angkor encounter with a visit to the spectacular temples of the Grand Circuit. First you visit Preah Khan or ‘Sacred Sword’, one of the largest temples at Angkor. You continue to Neak Pean surrounded by fountains and ponds. Next is Ta Som and its famous strangler fig tree. Finally you arrive at Pre Rup, after which you will be returned to your hotel (or to Siem Reap - Angkor International Airport if you have an onward flight, leaving the home of the Angkor Empire).
