   Angkor Wat

   3 hours

   We'll start by leaving the hotel before dawn to watch the sunrise in front of Angkor Wat. We will enter the great temple in the dark (please bring a flashlight) from the rarely visited eastern side, and descend through the ancient cloistered corridors to the longest stretch of bas-reliefs in the world. Soak up the atmosphere of sunrise at Angkor from the edge of one of the library's ancient pools. Next, we will explore the interior of the great temple, spending two full hours exploring the corridors, central chambers and upper terraces of this splendid temple. Your expert local guide will unravel the countless stories hidden behind the reliefs and give you an insight into what life was like during the height of the Khmer Empire.
