- Siem Reap / Angkor Museum / Ta Promh
Note:
Participants must be able to get in and out of bus and sit and stand nearly the whole day in hot and humid weather.
Breakfast:
Breakfast at the hotel.
Morning:
Begin your introduction to the temples of Angkor with a visit to Ta Prohm, the Jungle Temple. Unlike most of the temples of Angkor, Ta Prohm has been largely left to ruins. With its dynamic interaction between nature and man-made art, this atmospheric temple is a favorite for many - who can't help but feel a little like Indiana Jones or Lara Croft (which was filmed here) as they pick through the rubble. Later in the morning, take a field trip to the Angkor National Museum. This new national museum will provide you with an informative introduction to the temples and their art.
Lunch:
Lunch at the hotel.
Afternoon:
Enjoy some free time to relax while the heat of the day is at its peak. Later in the afternoon visit the temple Banteay Srei, the Citadel of Women. The Citadel of Women, a pink sandstone temple, was built in the latter half of the 10th century by Rajendravarman II and Jayavaraman V. The carvings of Banteay Srei are among the oldest and most intricate that you will see.
Dinner:
Dinner at a restaurant in town.

Established in the late twelfth century by king Jayavarman VII, at the centre of the city is the mesmerising temple of Bayon.
