Day 4
Full Day Angkor Tour
Today is all about exploring the amazing Angkor temples. After breakfast, you will start at the South Gate of Angkor Thom, also known as Big Angkor. This was the royal city and the last capital of the Angkor Empire. You will visit the famous Bayon Temple, which is a bit of an architectural puzzle because it was built over a century in a kind of patchwork way.
Next, you will check out the Terrace of the Elephants, a long wall with carved elephants, and Terrace of the Leper King, which has carvings of nagas, demons, and mythological beings. You will also explore Baphuon, a huge temple mountain, and the Royal Palace Area with Phimeanakas, an impressive sandstone pyramid. Your last stop in the morning is the enchanting Ta Prohm temple, where nature and human skill have combined to create something wonderful.
In the afternoon, you will visit the famous Angkor Wat temple, a replica of the Hindu universe. It has five towers, numerous galleries with carvings, and stone images of celestial Apsara dancers. It’s like stepping into a mystical world. Tonight, you will stay at the hotel in Siem Reap.
