Angkor Wat Small Group Tour Inclusive lunch

It’s a full day around the Angkor Archeological Park today. Pack sunscreen and water before setting out on your exploration. Begin the day with a pick-up at your hotel and travel by private car to Ta Prohm, one of Angkor’s jewels. Overgrown with fig trees, giving a haunting yet exotic atmosphere, is the most photographable. From here, drive a short distance to Ta Keo, which would have been one of the finest temples in Angkor had it been completed.

Continue to Angkor Thom - an entire walled city that was the royal capital in the 12th century. With a population of 1 million, it was far bigger than any city in Europe at the time. The amazing centerpiece is Bayon Temple, crowned with 216 giant, smiling faces of King Jayavarman VII.

Take a lunch break before the exploration of Angkor Wat, claimed to be the largest religious building in the world. The temple, which took 30 years to construct and used the labor of 300,000 workers was built as the earthly representation of the universe with its’ central tower symbolizing Mt Meru—the center of the Universe.
