Today is dedicated
to discovering the majestic temples of the Angkor Archaeological Park. Begin
your journey at Angkor Wat, the crown jewel of Khmer
architecture and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where intricate bas-reliefs and
towering lotus-bud spires await your exploration. Continue to the ancient city
of Angkor Thom, the last capital of the Khmer Empire, home to
the mesmerizing stone faces of Bayon Temple, the Terrace
of the Elephants, and the Royal Enclosure.
In the afternoon,
wander through the hauntingly beautiful ruins of Ta Prohm,
where tree roots intertwine with temple stones in a dramatic display of nature
reclaiming history. As the day winds down, head to Phnom Bakheng
for a breathtaking sunset view over the Angkor plains, with
silhouettes of ancient towers framed by golden light. Overnight in Siem Reap.
