About this activity
After your guide picks you up from your hotel we depart the bustling city of Siem Reap and journey to the Angkor Wat Temples

Old and New Angkor Wat

What is known as Angkor Wat to the world is actually a vast number of temples that formed part of this ancient Kingdom, We begin with the most well recognised "old" and "new" Angkor Wat temples. The first time you see these temples which are one of the Wonders of the World the sheer scale and beauty is overwhelming. We take time to explore these two vast temples with their stunning architecture, statues and carvings.

South Gate - Bayon Temple - Elelphant Temple - Leper King

Following morning tea we continue our exploration of the ancient Kingdom taking in the majestic South Gate and Bayon Temple with its famous stone carvings. Before stopping for lunch we explore the Royal Terraces, comprising of the Terrace of the Elephants to the South and the Terrace of the Leper King to the North which form the Eastern boundary of the ancient Royal Palace grounds.

They face the parade grounds where processions, parades and other events were held. The King would watch the events standing on the Elephant terrace, which he also used as an audience hall to listen to the complaints and problems of the citizens of Angkor.

Lunch 

Guests will enjoy a traditional Khmer lunch at a local restaurant and relax before we head out to explore more of this vast and beautiful ancient Kingdom.

Ta Prohm

One of the most famous temples in Angkor, the Ta Prohm is known for the huge trees and the massive roots growing out of its walls. The jungle temple also featured in the adventure movie “The tomb raider”; where several shots were filmed in the Ta Prohm.

Ta Prohm remains much as it was when it was discovered when Henri Marchal, curator and conservator of the EFEO did some basic clearing work in 1920. Only the most necessary work to prevent further deterioration and collapse was done. The stunning jungle setting and the original state of the temple has made it one of the most visited Angkor temples.

Rolous Group

To end our day we travel to the "Roluos Group" of temples which are some of the earliest permanent structures built by Khmer. They mark the beginning of classical period of Khmer civilisation, dating from the late 9th century. Some were totally built with bricks, others partially with laterite or sandstone.

Consisting of three major temples Bakong, Lolei and Preah Ko along with tiny Prasat Prei Monti. At both Bakong and Lolei there are contemporary Buddhist Monestries where you can observe the monks going about their daily lives.
