Mysterious Angkor 3 Nights and 4 Days

Sightseeing in Angkor

• Explore the fortified city of Angkor Thom, enclosed by a wall and wide moats. 

• Enter by the monumental South Gate over a causeway lined on either side by statues of demons and gods.

• Continue to the Terrace of the Elephants, the Terrace of the Leper Kings, Baphuon, the Royal Enclosure, and Phimeanakas. 

• Continue to the mysterious Bayon Temple to explore the galleries of beautifully preserved bas-reliefs and photograph the beautiful giant smiling stone faces. 

• Visit Ta Phrom, one of the most spectacular temples of Angkor. The jungle around this temple has not been cleared, and it looks very much as it would have appeared when European explorers first stumbled across it. 

• Also, visit the beautiful and ethereal Banteay Srei. Built from pink sandstone, the walls are covered in exquisitely preserved carvings of unusual delicacy. 

• Finally, watch the sunset over the Cambodian countryside from the upper terraces of an ancient Angkorian temple. 

• Overnight stay at Siem Reap. 

Sightseeing in Angkor 

• The crown jewel of Khmer architecture, Angkor Wat is the national symbol and the highlight of any visit to Cambodia. 

• The largest, best-preserved, and most religiously significant of the Angkor temples, Angkor impresses visitors both by its sheer scale and beautifully proportioned layout, as well as the delicate artistry of its carvings. 

• To approach the temple, first cross the vast moat, continuing along a broad causeway lined with naga balustrades. 

• Upon entering the main structure, ascend through a series of galleries and courtyard before reaching the central sanctuary, which offers beautiful views back over the causeway and across the surrounding countryside. 

• On the way, stop to enjoy the intricate stone carvings that adorn nearly every surface of the temple, with some 1,700 Apsaras, or celestial dancers, sculpted from the walls. Along with the outer gallery, walls run the longest continuous bas-relief in the world, which narrates stories from Hindu mythology, including the famous Churning of the Ocean of Milk.

•  Angkor Wat is stunning at any time of the day, but sunrise and sunset are uniquely beautiful times to watch the play of light on the stones. In the afternoon excursion by boat to Chong Kneas floating village and visit Phsar Chah (Old Market) (4 Hours). 

• Take a boat ride to Chong Kneas Village to view the scenery and day to day life of the communities living around the lake.

• Visit Psah Chah Market, originally destroyed by the Khmer Rouge in 1975 and reopened in 1996. 

• It has many interesting food stalls and souvenir shops. 

• Overnight stay in Siem Reap.
