See Angkor Wat at sunrise, explore Angkor Thom and Bayon, then continue to the jungle-covered ruins of Ta Prohm. It’s a private tour, so the pace is yours: stay longer where you like and skip what you don’t.

What you will see

  1. Angkor Wat — Sunrise & Temple Visit

    Arrive before dawn for sunrise at the reflection pools, followed by a guided exploration of Angkor Wat’s galleries and bas-reliefs.

  2. Angkor Thom — South Gate

    Enter the ancient royal city across a causeway lined with gods and demons, passing beneath one of Angkor Thom’s monumental stone gateways.

  3. Bayon

    Explore the temple at the heart of Angkor Thom, known for its towers carved with more than 200 serene stone faces.

  4. Baphuon, Terrace of the Elephants, Terrace of the Leper King

    Walk through the former royal centre, taking in Baphuon, the Terrace of the Elephants and the Terrace of the Leper King.

  5. Ta Prohm

    Discover one of Angkor’s most atmospheric temples. Giant tree roots pour over the walls and courtyards of this jungle ruin, left much as it was found. You may recognise it from Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, which was filmed here.
