    • Go for a short journey to the world-famous Angkor archaeological site and the majestic Angkor Wat Temple, the largest religious monument in the world. 
    • Head out to the ancient city of Angkor Thom. Angkor Thom means “Great City” and was the last capital city of the Khmer Empire. Built during the late 12th century by King Jayavarman VII, the ancient city covers 9 km² and has several monuments and temples inside the 8m high walls, surrounded by a moat.
    • Enter through the main gate of Angkor Thom, where you will come across Bayon Temple, most famous for its distinctive towers of smiling stone faces. Bayon Temple was built in the early 13th century and is believed to be the last temple constructed within the Angkor complex and is the only temple built as Buddhist Shrine dedicated to Buddha.
    • Continue to explore the ancient city of Angkor Thom and head to the small Hindu temple of the Phimeanakas. The name Phimeanakas translates to “Celestial Palace” and was built during the 10th century by King Rajendravarman II as his private temple.
    • Discover The Terrace of the Leper King. This unique 7-meter high platform is decorated with intricate carvings on top of which stands a nude statue of a sexless being.
    • Proceed to the Terrace of the Elephants or the Elephant terrace, built during the 12th century by King Jayavarman VII. The terrace stretches over 300 meters and is aptly named because of the elegant carvings of elephants and their mahouts.
    • After a short break and refreshments, visit the Ta Prohm Temple. Known initially as Rajavihara (Monastery of the King), this temple was constructed by King Jayavarman VII. The most distinctive feature of this temple is the trees and vegetation that grow out of the temple ruins in an almost symbiotic relationship.
    • Go to Bakheng Hill, on top of which sits Phnom Bakheng Temple. Phnom Bakheng Temple was built during the 9th century under the reign of King Yasovarman. Bakheng Hill is a popular destination for tourists to see the sunset (optional).
