Sunset Gondola
Discover the magic of Cambodia’s ancient history with a sunset gondola ride at Angkor Thom’s tranquil moat. As you gently glide across the waters in a traditional gondola, soak in the breathtaking views of the surrounding ancient ruins. Enjoy cocktails on board while watching the golden light transform the landscape. The ride offers a peaceful escape from the bustle of the city, allowing you to fully appreciate the serene beauty of Angkor’s ancient waterways. This sunset tour is the perfect way to begin your Cambodian adventure.
Angkor Wat Sunrise
Drive approximately 15 minutes and enter the grounds of Angkor Wat through a little-known entrance on its eastern perimeter (the western causeway is where the vast majority of tourists enter). Entering this way, you will avoid most other tourists initially and your first impressions of the monument’s grandeur at daybreak will be relatively private.
Watch as the temple’s silhouette reflects in the lotus pond while the sky bursts into hues of pink, orange, and gold. As the sun rises, your guide will lead you through Angkor Wat’s ancient corridors, sharing its rich history and architectural marvels. Built in the 12th century, this UNESCO World Heritage site is the largest religious monument in the world and a masterpiece of Khmer architecture.
Banteay Srei
Known as the "Citadel of Women," Banteay Srei stands out with its pink sandstone and intricately detailed carvings. Located 25 kilometers from the main Angkor complex, this small yet exquisitely crafted temple is considered a jewel of Khmer art. Its walls are adorned with delicate depictions of Hindu mythology, showcasing unmatched craftsmanship. Unlike the grandeur of Angkor Wat, Banteay Srei feels intimate and serene. Its well-preserved carvings make it a must-visit for history lovers and architecture enthusiasts.
Angkor Thom & Bayon Temple
Explore Angkor Thom, the grand city of the ancient Khmer Empire, filled with majestic temples and monuments. The highlight of Angkor Thom is the Bayon Temple, famous for its 54 towers adorned with over 200 enigmatic stone faces. These smiling faces are believed to represent King Jayavarman VII, blending spirituality and power. Stroll through the Terrace of the Elephants and Terrace of the Leper King, marveling at the intricate bas-reliefs that bring Cambodia’s history to life.
APOPO
Today, get out into the countryside to discover the heart of Cambodia - its people. First, visit APOPO, an organization that trains African Giant Pouched rats to detect buried explosives in minefields, an important service in a country where there may still be four to six million pieces of unexploded ordnance scattered around the lands.
Ta Prohm Temple
Visit Ta Prohm, the ruins at Ta Prohm date from 1186 and have purposely been allowed to be reclaimed by the jungle. Famous for its appearance in the movie Tomb Raider, this mystical temple is entwined with massive fig and silk-cotton trees. Walking through the crumbling corridors and tree-covered courtyards feels like stepping back in time. This highly atmospheric temple complex is a must-see on any visit to Siem Reap and offers amazing photo opportunities.
