Day 1: Exploring Angkor Wat and Beyond
Our journey begins at the iconic Angkor Wat, witnessing the breathtaking sunrise over this architectural marvel. 
We’ll spend several hours exploring its intricate bas-reliefs, towering structures, and serene atmosphere, learning about its rich history and spiritual significance from your knowledgeable driver. Afterwards, we’ll visit Angkor Thom, the ancient walled city, including the enigmatic Bayon temple with its iconic smiling faces and the Terrace of the Elephants, once a grand reviewing stand for the Khmer kings. 
We’ll also explore Ta Prohm, the temple famously overtaken by jungle roots, often called the ‘Tomb Raider’ temple and offering a uniquely atmospheric experience. Read more about Angkor Wat’s history here.
