After sunrise, we can take you back to your hotel for breakfast (if your hotel includes breakfast) or you eat breakfast at a restaurant nearby Angkor Wat. After breakfast break, we return to continue visiting Angkor Wat. After Angkor Wat, we continue to next temples on Small Circle such as Ta Prohm, which is a temple with a lot of gigantic tree roots that have taken over, and where Hollywood made the film “Tomb Raider”.

After lunch, around 1:30pm or 2:00pm, we'll visit Pre Rup Temple, which was constructed in the late 10th century dedicated to Hindu gods. This reflects the common belief among Cambodians that funerals were conducted at the temple.

Continue to Ta Nei and the last ones we go to visit the city of Angkor Thom that covers the area of Bayon temple. It's the highlight temple in the centre of Angkor Thom city with 49 towers, in which every tower has 4 faces, so that means there are 196 faces of Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara.
Then we continue walking to the next nearby Hindu Baphuon temple built before Angkor Wat in the 11th Century. Behind this temple, you can see a big Reclining Buddha that was built later in the 16th Century. Continue walking to see Royal Enclosure Wall, Elephant Terrace, Leper King Terrace and Phimeanakas. The last one of the day we go to climb up the hill of Phnom Bakheng to see sunset.
Note: Due to the limited number of tourists at the peak on Phnom Bakheng, we will require or take you to climb up Phnom Bakheng a bit earlier, at least 1:30-2:00 hours before sunset.
Our tour will be concluded when we return you to your hotel between 6:00pm-7:00pm.
