Start early in the morning at 05:00 am and head to Phnom Bakheng. Though it requires a climb up a winding path, the reward is a breathtaking sunrise view overlooking the majestic Angkor Wat. Return back to the hotel for your breakfast.

Then visit Bayon temple which was built by the last great king: Jayavarman VII. Take a stroll around the lower galleries of carvings of Bayon, which depict fascinating scenes of life from the late 11th century, then find a quiet spot on the exterior of the temple to appreciate the 54 towers featuring faces of the Buddha looking out into the jungle around you. Go on to the Terrace of The Elephants and the Royal Palace enclosure.

Break time for lunch in a local restaurant (own account).

This afternoon visit Ta Prohm! The temple was made famous by the Angelina Jolie film Tomb Raider, which is otherwise best known for the trees and vines growing atop the temple walls. Then visit the magnificent Angkor Wat, a 12th-century temple built by King Suryavarman II. This architectural marvel reflects Mount Meru, the abode of Hindu gods. Inside, intricate carvings and reliefs showcase Hindu myths with over 2,000 Apsara dancers grace the walls. Angkor Wat remains a powerful symbol of Cambodia, even gracing the national flag. 

Should you wish to witness a Sunset. Consider finding a quiet place away from the crowds, such as atop the city wall beside the West or South gate of Angkor Thom, or Srah Srang. Be advised that a sunset will typically have you returning to town after 18:00 pm.
