Two Days Angkor Complex, Beng Mealea plus Kampong Phluk Village

Your journey begins with a visit to the iconic Angkor Wat Temple, the largest religious monument in the world and a symbol of Cambodia’s rich heritage. From there, you will explore the walled city of Angkor Thom, built in the late 12th century by King Jayavarman VII. As you walk through the ancient city, you will come across the famous Bayon Temple, renowned for its 216 stone faces of Avalokiteshvara, the bodhisattva of compassion, which seem to gaze out over the entire complex. Continuing through Angkor Thom, you will reach the Terrace of the Elephants, a long platform used for royal ceremonies, beautifully decorated with bas-reliefs of elephants and other motifs that reflect the grandeur of the Khmer Empire.

The day concludes with a visit to the extraordinary Ta Prohm Temple, often referred to as the "Tomb Raider Temple" due to its appearance in the film. Unlike many other temples in the Angkor complex, Ta Prohm has been left largely in its natural state, with the jungle overtaking the structure. Massive tree roots have woven their way through the stone ruins, creating a breathtaking and mystical scene that showcases the power of nature reclaiming man-made structures. This unique blend of history and nature makes Ta Prohm one of the most captivating sites in the Angkor archaeological park.
