Angkor Wat Sunset Tour

The tour starts after breakfast around 9 o’clock in the morning. We’ll head straight over to the Angkor Ticket Office to pick up your tickets. We’ll then head directly to Ta Prohm and arrive before the large crowds get there. Here, you’ll see the famous “Tomb Raider” temple in all its glory. When we’ve finished exploring Ta Prohm, we’ll continue our drive over to Angkor Wat.

We’ll then enter the vast grounds and explore the temples explaining the history and the story of the bas-reliefs and carvings along the way. After visiting Angkor Wat, we’ll stop for lunch in a local restaurant inside the Angkor Park.

After lunch, we’ll then head over to the ancient city of Angkor Thom. First is the Bayon temple, which is famous for the hundreds of faces which smile down from the towers above. This is one of the most popular temples in Angkor and often referred to as part of the “Big Three” with Ta Prohm and Angkor Wat. After Bayon, we’ll head over to explore the temples nearby the Royal Enclosure.

You’ll see Baphuon, Phimeanakas, Terrace of the Elephants, and the Terrace of the Leper King. We’ll be able to walk around these four temples and terraces before making a short journey to Prasat Suor Prat.

Around 5:00 – 5:30pm, we’ll head over to our spot where we’ll see the sunset. You have the option to either see the sunset at the South Gate of Angkor Thom or the very popular Phnom Bakheng. Many guests prefer the South Gate as it is a lot quieter than the large numbers which congregate at Bakheng Mountain.
