Today, you will arrive in Siem Reap and be warmly welcomed by a tour guide and car driver at the airport. They will transfer you to Siem Reap City, where you will visit the Angkor Complex.

First, you will visit Angkor Thom, a fortified city that covers an area of 10 square km. The city is enclosed by a wall and wide moats and includes many of Angkor's most popular sights. You will enter through the monumental South Gate, which is over a causeway lined on either side by statues of demons and gods, each carrying a giant naga. You will continue to the Terrace of the Elephants and the Terrace of the Leper Kings, which were former spaces for public ceremonies and are both adorned with dramatic bas reliefs. After that, you will visit the ruined Baphuon, Royal Enclosure, and Phimeanakas before continuing to the mysterious Bayon Temple. This temple is one of the most popular and compelling in Angkor. You will explore the galleries of beautifully preserved bas reliefs and ascend narrow stairs to reach the central sanctuary, where you will find giant stone faces smiling enigmatically down at you from every angle.

Later in the day, you will visit a temple to watch the sunset over the Cambodian countryside from the upper terraces of an ancient Angkorian temple. Afterward, you will return to your hotel for check-in and spend the night in Siem Reap.

After having breakfast at the hotel, you will spend the entire day visiting the most famous temple on the plain of Angkor, which is Angkor Wat.

Its distinctive five towers are emblazoned on the Cambodian flag, and the 12th-century masterpiece is considered by art historians to be the prime example of classical Khmer art and architecture. The five towers of Angkor Wat symbolize Meru's five peaks. The enclosed wall represents the mountains at the edge of the world, and the surrounding moat represents the ocean beyond.

You will have lunch at a local restaurant before continuing your visit. You will visit the South Gate, which has huge statues depicting the churning of the ocean of milk. You will also visit the ancient capital of Angkor Thom (12th century), Bayon temple (unique for its 54 towers decorated with over 200 smiling faces of Avolokitesvara), the Royal Enclosure, Phimeanakas, the Elephants Terrace, and the Terrace of the Leper King.
