The main tourist destination in Cambodia is Siem Reap, which is situated in the northwest of the country. It acts as a link between the Angkor Complex's historic temples and ruins. But there is more to Siem Reap than Angkor, and tourists can choose from a plethora of fascinating activities. Our Siem Reap Discovery tour package offers a less crowded way to see the remote Angkor temples, which were discovered in the jungle not long ago, and the rich, cultural communities.

The main draw of Cambodia is the UNESCO-listed Angkor Wat, a spectacular temple complex that is even more evocative at dawn.

Itineraries

  1. Begin your Angkor Wat Sunrise Tour with a pre-dawn departure from your hotel, arriving at Angkor Wat in time for a spectacular sunrise.
  2. Enter the great temple in darkness (bring a flashlight) from the lesser-known eastern side, and make your way along ancient cloistered corridors, passing the world’s longest stretch of bas-relief carvings.
  3. Soak up the magical atmosphere of dawn at Angkor Wat from the edge of one of the ancient library pools.
  4. Spend two hours exploring the interior of this magnificent temple, discovering its corridors, central chambers, and upper terraces with your knowledgeable guide.
  5. Listen as your guide deciphers the countless stories depicted in the bas-relief carvings, providing insights into life during the height of the Khmer Empire.
  6. After your Angkor Wat Sunrise Tour, enjoy a short rest and an optional breakfast outside the temple (not included).
  7. Continue your morning with a visit to the atmospheric Ta Prohm temple, engulfed by the jungle and once home to 2,740 monks. See the temple as it appeared when French explorer Henri Mouhot ‘rediscovered’ it in the 1850s.
  8. Next, head to Angkor Thom city, passing by the famous Terrace of the Leper King and the Terrace of Elephants on your way to the stunning Bayon Temple.
