Angkor Wat is the apogee of classical Khmer architecture and has become a symbol of Cambodia, appearing on the national flag, and stands on par with such other monumental achievements as Machu Picchu in Peru and the Great Pyramid of Giza.
After breakfast this morning, we visit the Great City of Angkor Thom the Terraces of Elephant and Leper King, and especially the mysterious smiling Bayon.
Afternoon, we’ll continue exploring the epic temples of Angkor Wat - a vast rambling complex of diverse temple structures dating from the 9th to the 13th centuries. Many are adorned with exquisite carvings and bas-reliefs; some are so entwined with trees and vines that they almost returned to the jungle.
At sunset, a unique chance to see Angkor Archeological Complex from the sky. Take a 30-minute hot air balloon flight with a unique bird’s eye view over the Cambodian countryside, the Roluos and Bakong temple ruins, and enjoy the beautiful sunset.
Traditional dinner with Apsara dance show included.
On the next day we will drive through the beautiful countryside landscapes of Cambodia and explore more temples.
