Angkor Highlights Full Day Sunset Temple Tour

One day is rarely enough to cover an archaeological site spanning hundreds of square kilometres, but this full day tour weaves together the pinnacle of what Angkor has to offer. Begin at Angkor Thom, the last capital of the Great Khmer Empire, taking in the Elephant Terrace, the Terrace of the Leper King and the Bayon, its 54 towers carved with more than 200 gently smiling faces. Continue to Ta Prohm, built in the late 12th century by Jayavarman VII as a shrine to his mother and left deliberately overgrown by jungle. The afternoon closes at Angkor Wat, arguably the largest religious building in the world, its symmetrical towers echoed on Cambodia's national flag, where you can watch the sunset before heading back to your hotel. A well-paced full day connecting Angkor's three most iconic sites without cutting corners. Comfortable walking shoes and a respectful dress code make the day easier.
