Option 1 A: (duration 2.5–4 hours) Angkor Wat Golden Hours.
Tips: The duration of your tour depends on when you start. Here are two ways to plan it:
For Angkor Wat only: Choose a late afternoon start time.
For Angkor Wat + another temple or sightseeing: Start around 2:00 PM to allow enough time for both. Chase the golden hours to see how the evening sun paints the world's largest Hindu temple in an impressive golden color.
Option 2: (3 Hours) Only Angkor Wat with Sunrise
Witness sunrise at Angkor Wat & explore its grandeur and religious architecture. After visiting Angkor Wat return to your hotel.
Option 3: Grand Circuit Sunset (No Angkor Wat)
If you plan to visit Angkor's iconic temples over multiple days, you can either start with the Grand Circuit first or later—exploring everything from labyrinthine temples and island shrines to a beautiful sunset at the Pre Rup temple mountain.
Option 4 (duration 7-8 hours): Angkor Wat & iconic Temples with Sunset
Visit the largest Hindu monument, Angkor Wat, and admire its grandeur and architectural highlights.
Angkor Thom: Pass through the gigantic entrance gate to this enclosed royal city. Inside, you'll discover the enigmatic faces of Bayon Temple, plus Baphuon, the Terrace of the Elephants, and the Terrace of the Leper King.
Ta Prohm: Wander through the most picturesque and overgrown temple, famously where the movie Tomb Raider was filmed.
Ta Keo: Visit this impressive, yet unfinished, temple mountain.
Banteay Kdei and Ta Nei: Explore these beautiful, smaller, and more tranquil temples.
Option 5: (duration 6–8 hours) Angkor Wat Sunrise
Angkor Wat at Dawn: Begin your day before dawn at Angkor Wat, securing your spot by the famous reflection pools to capture the magical sunrise as the temple's spires silhouette against a golden sky.
Angkor Thom & Bayon: Venture into the walled city of Angkor Thom to encounter the enigmatic smiles of Bayon Temple, where over 200 serene faces watch over the jungle. Pause briefly at the monumental Victory Gate for a photograph before finding quiet peace at the secluded, small sanctuary of Preah Palilay.
Ta Prohm: Conclude your circuit at the unforgettable “Tomb Raider” temple, where massive silk-cotton tree roots have dramatically overgrown the stone ruins, creating a stunning merger of nature and ancient architecture.
Option 6 (5 hours) Grand Circuit Temples Day Tour (No Angkor Wat)
Preah Khan: A massive, atmospheric monastic complex with maze-like corridors and towering trees.
Neak Poan: A unique “healing” temple set on an island in the middle of a scenic reservoir.
Ta Som: A smaller, peaceful temple famous for a giant tree engulfing its eastern gate.
East Mebon: A former island temple featuring impressive, life-sized stone elephant sculptures.
Pre Rup: A grand, pyramid-style “temple mountain” built of reddish brick that glows beautifully in the afternoon light.
