Tour Details

Day 1: The Hidden Elegance of Angkor’s Outer Temples
Begin your adventure with a morning pickup at 8 or 9 AM—your choice, confirmed at booking. Leave behind the bustling city and travel through scenic Cambodian villages, watching the countryside unfold on your way to Banteay Srei, the “Fortress of Women.” This temple, a jewel of Khmer artistry, radiates a delicate beauty unlike any other in Angkor, with its intricately carved pink sandstone glowing under the morning light.

Return to Preah Khan, once a satellite city of Angkor Thom, where history speaks through its sprawling galleries and weathered corridors. Then, step into the mystical aura of Neak Pean, a temple floating on an island in the center of an ancient reservoir—believed to represent a sacred Himalayan Lake, symbolizing healing and balance.

After a refreshing lunch near the temples, continue to East Mebon, the temple that once stood alone in the middle of a vast waterway, accessible only by boat in its prime. Witness how it still holds traces of its grand past before heading to Pre Rup, a masterpiece built for both life and death, believed to be used as a royal cremation site. As the sun begins to dip, let the warm colors of the laterite stone embrace the fading daylight before returning to your hotel for the evening.

Day 2: The Classic Temples of Angkor’s Small Loop
Wake early for a sunrise at Angkor Wat, where the temple’s silhouette stands reflected against golden waters—a breathtaking moment etched in time. After soaking in the magic of dawn, step inside the temple to explore its vast corridors and divine artistry before moving onward to Angkor Thom.

Cross its South Gate, flanked by rows of divine and demonic statues, before reaching Bayon, the temple of enigmatic smiles. Each stone face greets visitors with a serene expression, welcoming you into the depths of Angkor’s spiritual past. Next, explore Baphuon, a towering shrine dedicated to Shiva, where the sheer scale of construction will leave you in awe.

Slip into the quieter corners of Ta Nei, a hidden sanctuary embraced by nature, offering a peaceful escape before arriving at Ta Prohm, the jungle temple that seems frozen in time. With towering trees gripping its ancient stones, it’s a place where nature and history entwine in an eternal embrace.

After a day of exploration, return to your hotel, carrying memories of two incredible days immersed in the grandeur and mystique of Angkor.
