FULL DAY TREKKING TOURS TO ANGKOR SIGHTS – 12km

Today you will be set out your trekking through the dense jungle of the magnificent temples of Angkor. Your tours start at 8:00 AM, where your guide and driver will pick you up from hotel lobby and transfer to starting zone.

Walking from temple to temple is a unique way to see these magnificent ruins: glimpses of small temples can be spotted amongst dense jungle, towers appear looming overhead, and the sheer number of ruins along the way is staggering. We will start your trekking day at Angkor Wat, one of the largest religious sites in the world. Built during the reign of King Suryavarman II in the early 12th century, Angkor Wat is constructed following the model of the temple mountain symbolizing Mount Meru, the home of the gods. Take lunch break at restaurants near by the temples.

After lunch break, continue your way through the forest towards the ancient city of Angkor Thom, the last capital of the Great Khmer Empire under the reign of Jayavarman VII. This city is surrounded by an 8 m high wall, drawing a perfect square. From here, continue to Bayon Temple in the exact center of the city. This 12th century masterpiece is a study in grandeur and is well-known for its 54 towers with enigmatic faces representing the 54 provinces of the Great Khmer Empire. The Terrace of the Elephants and the Terrace of the Leper King are also must-visits as they are both known for their intricate bas-reliefs.

Then take in the expanse of the moat of Angkor Thom before you enter the city through the ancient South Gate, an impressive stone gate carved with Elephants and four giant faces. On each side of the entrance path a row of 54 gods or demons is holding the sacred Naga snake.

Your last stop will be at Prasat Chrung where you will admire beauty of sunset by the moat. Take some good souvenir photos then return back to South Gate, where your driver was standby and ready to bring you back to hotel.
