Ride to Angkor Wat aboard a Remork, the traditional Khmer tuk tuk, an open-air way to travel that keeps nothing between you and the temple ahead.
Built under King Suryavarman II and crossed by a stone causeway over its wide moat, Angkor Wat remains one of the great achievements of Southeast Asian architecture. Intricately carved bas-reliefs line the outer walls and corridors, depicting mythological scenes and daily life at the time of its construction. Your guide leads the way through its galleries, courtyards and libraries, explaining the craftsmanship behind a temple that appears on Cambodia's national flag.
Undiscovered by Western archaeologists until the 19th century, Angkor Wat still surprises first-time visitors with a scale that photographs rarely capture.
A half day, open-air introduction to Cambodia's most iconic monument.

The Lost City of Angkor was to remain undiscovered by Western archaeologists until the later 19th century and has continued to amaze all who see it for the first time ever since: neither words nor pictures do it justice. Angkor Wat is a legacy of the might that was once the Khmer Empire, a detailed history of which has been carved into the many walls of this fortified temple.
