2-Day Join Tour - Sunrise Angkor Wat and Banteay Srei, Small Group

Day 1: Angkor Wat Sunrise and Temples from Siem Reap Small-Group

Watch sunrise at Angkor Wat on a full-day tour of Angkor Archaeological Park by climate-controlled minivan. Visit highlights including Angkor Thom, Bayon, the Terrace of the Elephants, the Terrace of the Leper King, and Ta Prohm, hearing commentary from your guide. Early morning hotel pickup means cooler temperatures and fewer crowds. Plus, you’ll have plenty time for questions, because the tour is limited to a small group.

Get up early to meet your driver and small group at your Siem Reap hotel. At Angkor Wat, you’ll purchase a ticket at the park’s gate, arriving in time to see sunrise above the 12th-century temple complex.

From there, continue to the fortified city of Angkor Thom, entering through a causeway flanked with gods and demons. See the many faces of Bayon Temple, stroll the Terrace of the Elephants and the Terrace of the Leper King, then head to Ta Prohm, where tree roots and jungle vines cover the ancient stones.

Following your time at Ta Prohm, this Angkor tour concludes with return transportation to your hotel in Siem Reap, or to the Siem Reap restaurant of your choice.

Day 2: Full-day Banteay Srei, Preah Dak, and Temples Tour from Siem Reap

Go beyond the typical Angkor Archaeological Park experience on this tour of Banteay Srei, Preah Dak village, and Eastern Mebon. You’ll see architecture that’s distinct from more centrally located Angkor sites, visit a temple in the middle of a dried-up lake, and stop for some handicraft shopping. Hear guide commentary along the way, and enjoy convenient hotel pickup and drop-off for a hassle-free day trip.

Meet your driver at your Siem Reap hotel, then ride in an air-conditioned vehicle to Angkor Archaeological Site. Purchase an admission ticket before continuing to Banteay Srei, often called the “Citadel of Women.” Here, you’ll see a series of three central towers carved from pink sandstone that have remarkable craftsmanship and detail. 

Next, continue back to the main part of Angkor Archaeological Site, pausing in the village of Preah Dak along the way to browse handicrafts made by locals. After a break for lunch (own expense), head to Eastern Mebon, a temple built in the heart of the Eastern Baray, once an artificial lake. The final temple stops of the day are Prasat Neak Pean and Preah Khan, each fascinating sites located off the main Angkor traveler circuit. The tour concludes with return transportation to your hotel.
