Day 2: Siem Reap
Today your theme of the trip is Angkor Thom. You will arrive at Bayon Temple after passing through the south gate of Angkor Thom. Close by is the Elephant Terrace, the king's reviewing stand from which you can enjoy exquisite bas-reliefs showing a parade of elephants and other animals.
After lunch, you will continue by paying a visit to Angkor Wat. As the main landmark of Cambodia, the magnificent buildings and amazing bas-reliefs will demonstrate how prosperous the Angkor dynasty was in the past. Finally, let's lean against the broken walls of the Bakheng Temple and see Angkor Wat diving into the silence with the sunset.
In the evening, you can feast your eyes on the Apsara Show at Angkor Village Resort, but also remember to have a delicious evening meal.

Day 3: Siem Reap
In order to watch the magnificent view of the sunrise this morning, we highly recommend an early wake-up to find a good place at Angkor Wat to take fantastic photos. After having a conversation with the monks and nuns at a nearby pagoda, we will return to the hotel for breakfast. Later, you will take a drive to the Banteay Srei, the pink sandstone temple complex with the most detailed and elaborate carvings. En route, you will stop at some local villages to get close to the local daily life of villagers.
After a tasty lunch, we will drive to the Ta Prohm Temple, where stone pillars and carvings intertwine with massive tree roots and jungle. Finally, the trip today comes to an end after your visit to the Takeo Temple.
