FULL DAY

TA PROHM – A TEMPLE FROZEN IN TIME:

First on our itinerary is Ta Prohm, one of Angkor’s most captivating temples.

Unlike other monuments in the area, Ta Prohm has been relatively untouched since it was discovered, preserving much of its original mystery.

Swallowed by the jungle, it stands as a testament to the Angkor temples’ initial appearance when European explorers first found them.

ANGKOR THOM & THE GATE OF DEAD:

After Ta Prohm, we journey to the ancient capital of Angkor Thom, a 12th-century marvel.

Here, we visit the Gate of Dead, renowned for its massive statues depicting the churning of the ocean of milk.

We proceed to the Bayon temple, unique for its 54 towers adorned with over 200 smiling faces of Avolokitesvara.

The tour continues with the Royal Enclosure, Phimeanakas, the Elephants Terrace, and the Terrace of the Leper King.

ANGKOR WAT TEMPLE: 

In the afternoon, we visit Angkor Wat, the most famous temple on the Angkor plain.

Comparable in size to the Imperial Palace in Beijing, this expansive temple complex covers 81 hectares.

The Cambodian flag bears the image of its distinctive five towers, symbolizing the five peaks of Meru.

The enclosed wall represents the mountains at the edge of the world, and the surrounding moat symbolizes the ocean beyond.

Art historians consider this 12th-century masterpiece the prime example of classical Khmer art and architecture.
