From Siem Reap: 2-Day Small Group Temples Sunrise Tour

1. From Siem Reap: 2-Day Small Group Temples Sunrise Tour

Day 1 – Full Day Banteay Srei Temples and Grand Circuit Temple   Start your 2 days with pick-up from your hotel around 8:00 AM, you’ll head off to visit the most interesting temples outside Angkor Thom city. Your first stop is Pre Rup Hindu Temple, built in 961 or 962, which combines laterite and sandstone construction. Then, drive to the intricately carved and well-preserved Banteay Srei – the detailed reliefs on this smaller sandstone structure are regarded as the finest and most skilfully crafted in Cambodia.   On the return journey, visit Neak Pean, a Buddhist temple on a circular artificial island within Jayatataka Baray, then continue to Preah Khan temple, a ruined but highly atmospheric mélange of tree roots and crumbling stone structures. Construction was commissioned by the prolific temple builder Jayavarman VII in honor of his father and a visit to this smaller site makes for an interesting contrast with the more imposing Angkor Wat. Preah Khan is currently being restored by the World Monument Fund and in places is in remarkably good condition. In the late afternoon, you’ll return to Siem Reap after a memorable day of exploration. Day 2 – Temples of Angkor with Sunrise   Spend your day temple-hopping with your local guide to make the most of your visit to the world-famous Angkor complex, a site full of temples built between the 19th and 13th centuries. Begin with pre-dawn departure (between 4:15 and 4:40 AM) from your hotel to catch the sunrise outside of Angkor Wat. Then, explore the interior of the great temple, spending a thorough 2 hours discovering its corridors, central chambers, and upper terraces. Your expert guide will decipher the myriad of stories behind the bas-relief carvings and give you insight into life during the height of the Khmer Empire. End your visit to Angkor with breakfast just outside the temple.   Continue the morning with a visit to the Southern Gate of Angkor Thom, flanked by a row of 54 stone figures on each side – gods to the left and demons to the right – and the fortified city of Angkor Thom. See its beautifully crafted central towers, covered in more than 200 enormous faces, before exploring the famous central terrace of the Leper King and the Terrace of Elephants.

Excellent afternoon/evening tour visiting the floating village & out on the lake to watch the sunset. Our guide Sean was super hospitable & knew his stuff & he made the whole experience really fun. Definitely recommend these guys although tuk-tuk are great, there are 5 miles of uneven dusty ,dirt tracks to get you there/back so with the private vehicle transport you avoid the slower pace of travel, especially once the sun's set on return. We did 2 tours ASEAN ANGKOR GUIDE both tours were perfect, they were ready for us on time. Air-con transfer was great with cold waters freely available and cooling towels too. (Didn't realise how much we needed them). Definitely book with them!!

This experience was an incredible two days of discovery. Sok, our tour guide, was absolutely amazing. He knew everything about the temples and also shared information about Cambodia. He knew how to lead us to each location, answered all our questions and also made us laugh. Lunch stops were great. They gave us cold wet towels and water throughout the day, which was good because it was so hot! Make sure you dress with shoulders and knees covered. Sok took a ton of pictures of us. This tour takes you to all the important temples. This is a must-do tour!

We had a great morning visiting the temples with a funny friendly and very informative guide, Mr Chhay. Thank you so much for making our first day in Cambodia very special

See the Temples in person, nothing compares I promise you. Our guide Narith was so kind and super knowledgeable. The best day out in Siem Reap.

The tour was enjoyable and everything went smoothly
