Today we have a full day to explore the temples of Angkor on foot. Following in the footsteps of the intrepid explorers of old along jungle pathways, we will escape the tourist crowds and approach the temples with a different perspective. It's the perfect way to take in the rich archaeological majesty of the area. We begin our explorations first thing in the morning at Ta Prohm, the exquisitely ethereal 'Tomb Raider' temple that has been part consumed by the jungle, before we move on to Ta Nei a small temple that has been forgotten in the jungle and sees few visitors. Following jungle pathways, we negotiate our way to the immense fortified city of Angkor Thom and stroll along its massive stone walls, to the Bayon. One of the architectural gems of Angkor, this maze of corridors, temples and giant stone faces is also home to some of the finest bas reliefs anywhere in the city. Our route continues past the Baphuon, pyramid temple of Phimeanakas and the royal bathing pond to the Buddhist temple of Preah Palilay in the north west corner of the site. Ascending the Terrace of the Leper King, we then reach the northern end of the Terrace of the Elephants. After paying a visit to the hidden temple of Preah Pithu, we finally walk round to the East Gate and our waiting vehicle. Please note that from the 1st January 2020 the third tier of the Bayon Temple - the striking centrepiece of the ancient city of Angkor Thom - will be closed until 2022 for extensive restoration. As a result, it will only be possible to view the large stone faces from a distance and it will not be possible to get up close. However, the two lower tiers will remain open and accessible, so it will be possible to view the impressive bas-reliefs and intricate stone carvings around the temple. Today's temple to temple walking is expected to take approximately five to six hours.
 

Early this morning we will drive to the magnificent complex of Angkor Wat, to watch the warming glow of the rising sun bring life to what is without doubt the most breathtaking of all the jungle temple sites. Entering through the east gate on foot, we then enjoy an extended visit walking around a site that covers several square kilometres. Originally built as a funerary temple for Suryavarman II, in honour of Vishnu, it represents for many the pinnacle of Khmer art and architecture and little can truly prepare you for the initial sight of this stunning setting in the early morning light. This afternoon has then been left free to continue exploring more of the temples at your leisure or you may wish to spend some time in the pleasant town of Siem Reap which has a lively market and many shopping opportunities.

Breakfast at hotel. This morning, you will be free for your own activity or to relax at the hotel or go shopping at nearby local markets on your own schedule. Then pick up by our driver for transfer Siem Reap Airport to catch flight to next destination.
