Itinerary

4:30 AM – Hotel Pick-Up | Sunrise Experience

Your day begins before first light, when Angkor is at its most tranquil and atmospheric. As the sky slowly shifts from darkness to soft hues of gold and pink, you arrive at Angkor Wat — the world’s largest religious monument.

Sunrise at Angkor Wat

Stand before the majestic silhouette of Angkor Wat as the rising sun illuminates its iconic towers, mirrored in the still lotus ponds. This serene and breathtaking moment is one of the most extraordinary sunrise experiences in the world.

After sunrise, explore the temple’s grand galleries and corridors. Your guide will bring the intricate bas-reliefs to life, recounting epic Hindu legends, celestial battles, and the architectural brilliance that has endured for centuries.


Angkor Thom & The Smiling Faces of Bayon

Continue to the ancient walled city of Angkor Thom, once the thriving capital of the Khmer Empire. Enter through the monumental South Gate, where towering stone figures line the causeway in a dramatic depiction of the mythical “Churning of the Ocean of Milk.”

At the city’s center rises the captivating Bayon Temple, famous for its serene stone faces gazing in all directions. As you wander through its towers and shadowed corridors, discover intricate carvings portraying scenes of daily life, mythological stories, and historic battles.


Ta Prohm – Where Nature Embraces History

Step into the atmospheric world of Ta Prohm, one of Angkor’s most photogenic temples. Here, colossal tree roots weave through ancient stone walls, creating a powerful and almost mystical scene. Left largely unrestored, Ta Prohm offers a rare glimpse into how Angkor once appeared when rediscovered by explorers.

Return to your hotel around midday to rest and recharge. The afternoon is yours to enjoy at leisure — explore local markets, relax at a café, experience the Cambodian Circus, or choose an optional countryside adventure by Vintage Jeep.

Enjoy a relaxed morning at your own pace. You may wish to explore Siem Reap town or take an optional excursion to a floating village on Tonle Sap Lake.

Noon – Begin the Grand Circuit Exploration

Preah Khan – A Sacred Monastic City

Your afternoon begins at Preah Khan, a vast and atmospheric temple complex once dedicated to both Buddhist and Hindu traditions. Walk through long corridors, quiet courtyards, and beautifully preserved carvings that reflect the spiritual devotion and architectural mastery of the Khmer civilization.


Banteay Srei – The Jewel of Angkor

Travel further into the countryside to Banteay Srei, often called the “Citadel of Women.” Built from warm pink sandstone, this exquisite temple is celebrated for its exceptionally fine and detailed carvings — considered the most refined artistry in all of Angkor. The delicate craftsmanship here reveals the extraordinary skill of Khmer artisans.


Sunset at Neak Pean, Pre Rup, or a Peaceful Temple Setting

As the day gently draws to a close, enjoy a serene sunset experience at a carefully selected temple. Watch as golden light softens across ancient stone structures, creating a peaceful and reflective atmosphere — the perfect conclusion to your Angkor journey.


Return to your hotel in the evening with lasting memories of two days immersed in the beauty, history, and spiritual legacy of Angkor.
