1-Day Angkor Highlights with Sunset

  • Full day, about 9 hrs
  • Private
  • Angkor Wat
  • Private tour, up to 20 guests

No early alarm: the essential temples by day and sunset from Phnom Bakheng.

The classic first day at Angkor without the 4:45am start. Your guide meets you at your hotel after breakfast and walks you through the walled city of Angkor Thom, the smiling faces of Bayon and the strangler-fig roots of Ta Prohm.

After lunch you reach Angkor Wat when the morning crowds have thinned, then finish on the hilltop of Phnom Bakheng as the sun goes down over the plains.

Highlights

  • Bayon and its towers of stone faces
  • Ta Prohm, held together by tree roots
  • Angkor Wat in the afternoon light
  • Sunset from Phnom Bakheng
