Full-Day Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom and Ta Prohm Tour

  • Pick up from your hotel or Siem Reap International Airport.

  • Arrive at the South Gate of Angkor Thom. It was the last capital city of the Khmer Empire, and it was also the largest capital city in the world, with about 1 million inhabitants in the 12th century.

  • Visit Bayon Temple, a very famous site with four smiling faces on each tower, as well as Baphuon, Phimeanakas, the Terrace of the Elephant, and the Terrace of the Leper King.

  • Continue to the jungle temple of Ta Prohm. This temple is covered by trees, and you feel like you are rediscovering the Angkor temples, just as Henri Mahout did in 1860 AD when he came across the temples in the jungle by accident.

  • Stop for lunch at a local restaurant to taste real local Cambodian food, or Khmer food.

  • Continue to visit Angkor Wat, the largest temple in the world and also one of the world's wonders. Angkor Wat is the national symbol of Cambodia, as you will see its towers appear on the national flag of Cambodia.

  • Spend time in the temple exploring the surroundings and witnessing the carvings on the sandstone walls until the temple closes at 5:30 PM.

  • Transfer back to your hotel or to Siem Reap International Airport.

Know before you go

  • The country is warm all year round, though there are several distinct seasons affecting the best time to visit Cambodia. There is little rain between November and May, the so-called dry season, which itself divides into two distinct phases. The cool season (Nov-Feb) is the peak time for tourism - mild enough to explore the temples in comfort but warm enough to sunbathe by the coast. Humidity and temperatures rise slightly during the hot season (March-May), with Phnom Penh and Battambang seeing peak daytime temperatures of 33-35°C.

  • This is an excellent time to visit the coast, although Angkor is usually hot. Visiting Cambodia during the rainy season (roughly June-Oct) can present certain practical challenges, but it is also a fascinating time to see the country as it transforms into a waterlogged expanse of tropical green under the daily monsoon deluges (fortunately, the rains fall mainly in the afternoon; mornings are generally dry). Getting around, particularly in September and October, isn't always easy: dirt roads turn to mud and flooding is commonplace. Not surprisingly, it's also the quietest time for tourism (even Angkor is relatively quiet), and the countryside is at its lushest.
