Angkor Wat is a UNESCO World Heritage site and the largest religious monument in the world, located in Siem Reap, Cambodia. Built in the 12th century by King Suryavarman II, it was originally dedicated to the Hindu god Vishnu before transitioning into a Buddhist temple. The temple is renowned for its stunning architecture, intricate bas-reliefs, and symbolic design representing Mount Meru, the center of the universe in Hindu and Buddhist cosmology. Angkor Wat is a major cultural and historical icon of Cambodia, attracting millions of visitors each year.

After Angkor Wat, we continue the visit to Angkor Thom, the capital city of the Khmer Empire, stands as a remarkable testament to extraordinary genius. This city, a grand materialization of Buddhist cosmology and it was built in the 12th century under the reign of the greatest Khmer King Jayavarman 7th and it is surrounded by a wall which is 3 kilometer each side and five big gates.

Stop at South Gate which is known as South Gate of Angkor Thom and it’s the main gate to enter the Angkor Thom City, built in the late 12th-century in Bayon style, this is the most famous and best preserved of the major city gates into the Angkor Thom from Angkor Wat Temple and it is very popular with most visitor to stop taking pictures before entering the city.

The Bayon temple, built nearly 100 years after Angkor Wat, was originally a temple-mountain symbolizing Mount Meru. Extended in phases, it now showcases grand architecture with over 200 large faces carved on 54 towers. These faces, believed to depict the bodhisattva Avalokitesvara, reflect the famous Smile of Angkor with broad foreheads, downcast eyes, flared nostrils, and slightly upturned lips. The temple's scale and harmonious composition exude majesty, embodying the omnipresence of the king.

Today, we’ll enjoy sunset view at Phnom Bakheng Hill, a 9th-century temple mountain dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva. Famous for its pyramid-like structure, it offers breathtaking sunset views over Angkor Wat and the surrounding temples. The climb to the top is short but steep, and while it can get crowded at sunset, it remains a peaceful spot during the day. With stunning panoramic views, it’s a favorite spot for both tourists and locals. After enjoying the sunset, we’ll return to town and drop you off at your hotel in Siem Reap.
