Enjoy breakfast at hotel. We drive to Angkor Thom that was the masterpiece of King Jayavarman VII. Following the occupation of Angkor by the Chams from 1177 to 1181, the new king decided to build an impregnable fortress at the heart of his empire.
We begin to visit Bayon Temple. At the exact center of Angkor Thom, this is an eccentric expression of the creative genius and inflated ego of Cambodia’s most celebrated king.
We continue to visit Ta Prohm “Tomb Raider” fame. Ta Prohm has been abandoned to the elements, a reminder that while empires rise and fall, the riotous power of nature marches on, oblivious to the dramas of human history.
We journey out to the mother of all temples, Angkor Wat. Believed to be the world’s largest religious building, this temple is the perfect fusion of symbolism and symmetry and a source of pride and strength to all Khmers.
RELAXING SUNSET GONDOLA RIDE –: included 01 bottle of local beer
Late this afternoon travel to the South Gate of Angkor Thom where you embark on a private charming Khmer traditional gondola for your romantic sunset cruise experience. The sunset trip proved a soothing time of day for a boat journey, as well as a relaxing break from the tourists who roam the temples in masse. The tranquility of the evening air was shattered by the sounds of cicadas in the trees, which collectively made a rather deafening noise. Meaning the chirping of birds, dragonflies flying alongside and a beautiful sunset over paddy fields.
Tonight, you will have a romantic dinner under candlelight.
Overnight at a hotel in Sem Reap.
