Get picked up at the hotel lobby by your Cambodian tour guide at 8:00AM and depart for the ancient ruins.

Enter the ancient city through its South Gate. In the very centre lies the temple of Bayon – silent witnesses of time. The 216 enigmatic faces gaze over the horizon, and one can only wonder what they have seen throughout the ages.

Continue to Baphuon with its long causeway and an impressive giant reclining Buddha, a jigsaw puzzle only put back together in 2011 following a 37 year-long disruption caused by the war. 

Visit Phimeanakas, hiding in the shaded jungle, offering a decent over-the-tree-tops view to those who conquer the steep steps to the top. 

Admire the Esplanade of the Royal Palace, more commonly known as the Terrace of the Elephants and Terrace of the Leper King.

The charming and iconic Ta Prohm features on most visitors' itineraries, and rightfully so. Here, nature takes over ancient man-made structures, and the roots of the golden Spung tree (Tetrameles Nudiflora) wrap themselves around mossy stones in a tight embrace.

Travel back to town for lunch at a local restaurant and rest during the hottest part of the day.

The afternoon adventure will commence at the largest religious monument ever built – Angkor Wat. One can spend hours wandering in awe at the grandeur of this temple, its many levels, and intricate carvings adorning the many galleries. The stories told by your Cambodian tour guide will bring ancient Angkor times back to life.
