Pick up at hotel and go to Temples
Pick up at hotel where you are staying in Siem Reap and go to temples.
South Gate of Angkor Thom
After getting the temple tickets, we go straight to visit the South Gate of Angkor Thom. On the left side of the moat, 54 'devas' (guardian gods) pull the head of the snake 'Shesha' while on the right side 54 'asuras' (demon gods) pull the snake's tail in the opposite direction.
Bayon Temple-Mahayana Buddhist Temple
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. Your guide will point out the best angles for photography here and give explanation of the many intricate carvings on the walls of the galleries.
Baphoun Temple-Hinduism Temple
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.
Phimean Akas Temple-Royal palace
Hiding in the shaded jungle and offers a decent over-the-tree-tops view to those who conquer the steep steps to the top
Terrace of Elephant
There are a lot of elephants on the walls.
Terrace of Leper King
A former private hospital for royal family in Angkorian Period.
Taprohm Temple ( Tomb Raider )
Gained its 21st Century fame from the movie Tomb Raider featuring Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft. Today, with Lara long gone, this temple is on the itinerary of most visitors and rightfully so. Many corners of Ta Prohm showcase an intricate relationship between the roots of Spung tree (Tetrameles Nudiflora) and ancient stones covered in moss. Truly a photographer's paradise, don't miss the opportunity to capture your own explorer's moments.
Angkor Wat Temple
You will appreciate the largest religious monument ever built – Angkor Wat. Astonishing in the morning or afternoon light you will be able to photograph the temple from across the lotus pond and then continue to explore the many levels and intricately carved galleries. Return to hotel and drop off.
