Day 1: Angkor Temples
Get ready for an enchanting and personalized private tour of the Angkor World Heritage Site, starting with the most magnificent temple, Angkor Wat. Our expert guide will take you on a journey through this incredible monument, which is not only the largest religious site in the world but also an architectural marvel that will leave you in awe.
After exploring the grandeur of Angkor Wat, we'll move on to one of the most beautiful temples in the area, Ta Prohm. You'll be amazed by the sight of this ancient temple that's embraced by the roots of enormous strangler fig trees. It's no wonder that this temple gained worldwide fame after being featured in Tomb Raider II.
Next, we'll take a break at the peaceful Takeo temple, where you can sample delicious seasonal fruits from local vendors and soak in the tranquil surroundings. From there, we'll move on to the serene Ta Keo & Ta Nei temples, where you can enjoy a moment of calm and reflection.
Our last stop will be Angkor Thom, the last capital city of the Khmer empire. Here, you'll be able to witness the grandeur of this once-great civilization through impressive monuments like the Bayon temple, Baphuon, and the Terrace of the Elephants. You'll also get to see one of the five gates with gigantic faces that served as the entrance to this ancient city.
At the end of the tour, we'll drive you back to your hotel, leaving you with unforgettable memories of this amazing adventure.
Day 2: Banteay Srei temple & Beng Mealea temple
Embark on a breathtaking tour of Banteay Srei and Beng Mealea on your second day. The journey begins with a scenic hour-long drive through the Cambodian countryside, leading you to the most beautiful carving temple, Banteay Srei. This temple's intricate carvings on pink sandstones are guaranteed to leave you mesmerized.
After exploring Banteay Srei, we'll take another picturesque drive with breathtaking views of the Kulen mountain range to reach Beng Mealea. Upon arrival, you'll have the opportunity to take a short break and indulge in fresh coconut or seasonal fruit from a local vendor before wandering into the ruins.
Beng Mealea is a mysterious temple of Angkor built in the 12th century in the style of Angkor Wat and dedicated to Hinduism. This sprawling jungle temple over one square kilometer is largely overrun by vegetation, but don't let that discourage you. You'll have plenty of time to explore the ruins in-depth, taking an unusual route to see parts that are seldom visited. The temple is more accessible, so you'll be able to scramble over the tumbled blocks and traverse the walls of the temple, which is an adventure in itself.
As the tour comes to an end, we'll drive back to Siem Reap and drop you off at your hotel.
