Angkor Temples Tour

This full-day package combines visiting several significant temples in Siem Reap into one-day trip. Angkor Wat, the best example of the classic style of Khmer architecture from the early 12th century, is a not-to-be-missed experience when visiting Cambodia. Other highlights include Angkor Thom, Bayon Temple, the Elephants Terrace, and Ta Prohm – all are gorgeous and worth a visit.

Duration: Full Day
Tour Code: MCSS02

  • Day 1 - Angkor Wat

    Place Transport: Car
    Meals: Lunch
    In the morning, visit the most famous of all the temples on the plain of Angkor: Angkor Wat. The temple complex covers 81 hectares and is comparable in size to the Imperial Palace in Beijing. Its distinctive five towers are emblazoned on the Cambodian flag and the 12th century masterpiece is considered by art historians to be the prime example of classical Khmer art and architecture. Angkor Wat’s five towers symbolize Meru’s five peaks - the enclosed wall represents the mountains at the edge of the world and the surrounding moat, the ocean beyond.

    Visit the antique capital of Angkor Thom (12th century): See the South Gate (with its huge statues depicting the churning of the ocean of milk), Bayon Temple (unique for its 54 towers decorated with over 200 smiling faces of Avolokitesvara), the Elephants Terrace, the Terrace of the Leper King and Ta Prohm. The latter is a beautiful jungle temple that has been relatively untouched since it was discovered and retains much of its mystery. Transfer back to Siem Reap International Airport or hotel.
