Begin your day with a visit to the magnificent Angkor Wat, the largest and most iconic temple in the Angkor complex. Marvel at the grand architecture, intricate bas-reliefs, and towering spires that reflect the grandeur of the Khmer Empire. As you explore its vast courtyards and corridors, learn about the temple’s rich history, religious significance, and the remarkable stories depicted on its walls.
Angkor Thom
Next, venture into Angkor Thom, the ancient city of the Khmer Empire. Start at Bayon Temple, famous for its massive stone faces that gaze serenely in all directions. Walk along the Terrace of the Elephants and the Terrace of the Leper King, both adorned with intricate carvings. Visit Phimeanakas, a royal temple once part of the ancient palace complex, and pass through the impressive South Gate with its rows of statues that welcome you to this grand city.
Ta Keo
After exploring Angkor Thom, stop at Ta Keo, known for its stark, unfinished look. This towering temple mountain, built from large sandstone blocks, offers steep stairways leading to panoramic views of the surrounding jungle.
