  • Angkor Thom expand_more

    In the morning, visit the great city of Angkor Thom, the great Khmer Empire's last capital under King Jayavarman VII's reign. A 7 m high wall surrounds this city. Each side of the city is 3km long; it draws a perfect square of 9 sq km. You can access this town through gate no. 5, and after that, you will see the centre of the capital city of Angkor Thom, Bayon temple. This temple lies precisely in the center of the city. The peculiarity of the monument is the 54 towers representing the 54 provinces of the Khmer Empire. Each tower has four faces. 

    Continue to visit the Terrace of the Elephant and the Terrace of the Leper King.

  • Ta Phrom Temple expand_more

    In the afternoon, we go to the Ta Phrom Temple, one of the most romantic temples of Angkor's site, where nature resumed its rights and disrupted the men's work. A magic place built in 1186, this Buddhist temple was the most gigantic of Angkor's sites. The Conservation of Angkor saved the main monuments. All the trees and the roots had invaded the monuments the first discoverers found. Roots looking like snakes have disrupted and wasted statues and walls, and giant trees have broken the heads of stupas.

  • Angkor Wat Temple expand_more

    In the evening, visit the most significant religious temple in the world, the magnificent Angkor Wat temple. Suryavarman II built it in the early 12th century. Angkor Wat is constructed following the model of the temple mountain symbolizing Mount Meru and sees the sunset over the Cambodian countryside from the upper terraces of an ancient Angkor ruin Temple, Bakheng Mountain Temple.

Know before you go
  • Angkor Thom (Khmer, literally: "Great City"), located in present-day Cambodia, was the last and most enduring capital city of the Khmer Empire. It was established in the late twelfth century by King Jayavarman VII. It covers an area of 9 km², within which several monuments from earlier eras and those established by Jayavarman and his successors are located. At the centre of the city is Jayavarman's state temple, the Bayon, with the other major sites clustered around the Victory Square immediately to the north.

  • Angkor Thom was established as the capital of Jayavarman VII's empire and was the centre of his massive building programme. One inscription found in the city refers to Jayavarman as the groom and the city as his bride.
