After pickup at your hotel, board a climate-controlled vehicle for the trip to Pre Rup, a 10th-century Hindu temple with a grand central staircase. From there, continue to Banteay Srei, passing through small villages, fields, and forests, getting a glimpse of daily life in the Cambodian countryside. Upon arrival, you’ll see a collection of intricate carvings rendered in pink sandstone.
Following some free time to purchase lunch, head to the atmospheric Preah Khan temple, where tree roots sprawl across crumbling stone structures from the 12th century. At each stop, your guide will explain the historical context of Angkor's architecture, and tell you about its symbolism and hidden meanings.
Your tour concludes with drop-off at your original departure point.
