Immerse yourself in the extraordinary wonders of Cambodia with a private 3-day journey through the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Angkor Archaeological Park and beyond. Covering the ancient capitals of the Khmer Empire from the 9th to 15th centuries, this tour combines iconic world wonders with serene outer monuments and authentic local experiences.
Guided by an expert local host, you'll uncover the deep history, cultural relevance, and hidden secrets of world-famous landmarks including Angkor Wat, the serene stone-faced towers of Bayon at Angkor Thom, and the tree-entangled ruins of Ta Prohm (Tomb Raider temple). Venture off the beaten path to admire the delicate pink sandstone carvings of Banteay Srei, explore atmospheric forest shrines like Preah Khan, and cruise the peaceful waters of Tonle Sap Lake to witness traditional floating village life.
We are going to pick up you at the lobby of hotel where you are staying. Please give us the name and address of hotel.
Following hotel pickup, travel through the countryside to Banteay Srei. Known as the "Jewel of Khmer Art," this 10th-century Hindu temple is renowned for its extraordinarily detailed carvings etched into warm pink sandstone.
Continue to Ta Som, a late 12th-century Buddhist temple built by King Jayavarman VII. Explore its tranquil courtyards and admire the iconic rear gopura, where massive fig tree roots dramatically wrap around the ancient stone gateway.
Visit Prasat Neak Pean, a unique island temple set in the center of the Jayatataka Baray. Cross the scenic wooden walkway over water to reach this peaceful sanctuary, originally designed as a symbolic healing pond during the Khmer Empire.
After a local lunch break, explore Preah Khan, a grand 12th-century monastic complex built by Jayavarman VII to honor his father. Walk through endless corridors of ancient stone, discover unique two-story architecture, and see towering silk-cotton tree roots intertwined with the ruins. Drop-off at your hotel included.
Begin with a hotel pickup and head to the South Gate of Angkor Thom. Walk across the causeway lined with 108 stone statues—54 guardian gods (devas) on the left and 54 demon gods (asuras) on the right—depicting the legendary Churning of the Ocean of Milk.
Explore Bayon, the iconic central temple of Angkor Thom. Famous for its 54 towers adorned with over 200 serene stone face carvings, Bayon also features detailed bas-reliefs illustrating ancient battles, festivals, and everyday Khmer life.
Visit Baphuon, an impressive 11th-century mountain temple dedicated to Shiva by King Udayadityavarman II. Stroll along its elevated stone causeway and view the massive Reclining Buddha added to the temple's west side in the 16th century.

Head to the world-famous "Tomb Raider" temple, Ta Prohm. Atmospheric and ethereal, this 12th-century sanctuary has been left largely as it was found, with giant banyan and silk-cotton tree roots wrapping around ancient moss-covered stone walls.
In the afternoon, explore Angkor Wat, the world’s largest religious monument. Built in the early 12th century by King Suryavarman II, this masterpiece of classical Khmer architecture features exquisite bas-relief galleries, grand central towers, and rich spiritual history as Cambodia's national icon. Return transfer to your hotel included.
