Today’s tour begins at 4:30 AM with the first opportunity to visit Angkor Wat temple at sunrise. After experiencing the breathtaking sunrise, we will take a breakfast break. Following breakfast, we will continue to explore Angkor Thom, visiting its South Gate, West Gate, North Gate, and East Gate. We will also tour several significant sites within Angkor Thom, including Baphuon Temple, the Angkor Ancient Royal Palace, Phimeanakas Temple, the Elephant Terrace, and the Terrace of the Leper King. The equinox sunrise casts a stunning glow behind the towers of Angkor Wat, making it the premier location in Siem Reap to witness a spectacular sunrise. I suggest an early morning excursion where we position ourselves in front of the reflection pool. With a bit of luck, the colors of the sky will beautifully illuminate the temple, allowing us to capture this iconic site at its most magical moment.

We head to the lost temple of Beng Mealea, the titanic of temples, a slumbering giant lost for centuries in the forests of Cambodia. Nature is re-staking her claim on the ruins of Beng Mealea. En route, pass small traditional villages before coming upon this mysterious temple being enveloped by the jungle. You’ll understand the thrill French explorer Henri Mouhot surely felt when he came upon the overgrown temples of Angkor in the mid-19th century. Next, continue drive to Koh Ker served as the capital of the Khmer Empire from 928-944 A.D. Within Koh Ker is Prasat Thom, a tall temple mountain which offers a sweeping view of the forest and plain below. Within the complex itself are temples dedicated to the Hindu deities Shiva, Vishnu, and Brahma. Given its isolation and distance from Siem Reap, Koh Ker exudes a quiet, peaceful charm that stands in contrast to Angkor Wat.
