Overview

This guided tour in an A/C vehicle is an intense version of the so-called "Small Tour" (with Angkor Wat and jungle temple), starting early (6.30am) for good reasons:

1. You will visit Angkor Wat twice, during best morning hours, allowing you to avoid the crowds, and at the end of the tour, allowing you to see it in the best sunshine.

2. You will see five "hidden gems" as Extras, one being a picture-book "lost temple in the jungle".

3. You will enjoy a 3.5 km hike in Angkor Thom to lonesome sites. The private tour is with both an English-speaking driver and an English-speaking guide. You will visit each temple with the guide, while the driver is waiting at its car park.

Lunch-break will be at the reservoir Srah Srang, where several good restaurants are available. Alternatively, the driver can drop you to another location, provided you agree to pay him for the extra kilometre.

For each temple, you need a one- or multiple-day Angkor Ticket, which is not included in the tour costs.

What To Expect

Angkor Wat

Our driver will first drive to the less frequented East Gate of Angkor Wat, entering from here, you will see Angkor Wat in the best morning light. Don't worry, you will see it from the much more famous West Gate, too, but at the end of the tour, when there is time for a second, shorter visit of the world's largest temple building.

2 hours • Admission Ticket Not Included

Prasat Kravan

The second stop is at the small temple of Prasat Kravan, which consists of five towers in one line. Prasat Kravan is most remarkable for brick carvings, which are large in size. All other carvings in Angkor are made of sandstone, not brick.

20 minutes • Admission Ticket Not Included

Prasat Bat Chum

Bat Chum is a small temple, three Prasat towers standing on a shared platform. However, it's of some significance due to the large inspriptions, which indicate that Buddhism had taken route in Angkor long before the era of the Buddhist King Jayavarman VII. Bat Chum is not frequented very often by tourists and thereby somewhat special.

20 minutes • Admission Ticket Not Included

Srah Srang

The terrace with animal sculptures of Srah Srang is quite picturesque. Srahs are not Baray, they are deepened artificially, whereas Barays are only reservoirs. Srah Srang is a smaller but elaborate artificial basin, presumably used for ceremonies instead of irrigation. A Buddhist prime minister initiated the construction in the 10th century, a Buddhist king rebuilt it in the late 12th century.

10 minutes • Admission Ticket Not Included

Banteay Kdei

Banteay Kdei is the smaller sister of the famous jungle temple Ta Prohm. Actually, it's still a very large complex. The flat temple has a very labyrinthic layout, but don't worry, you won't get lost.

After visiting Banteay Kdei, you will have lunchbreak at the nearby Srah Srang reservoir, where you have a choice of several good restaurants.

Alternatively, you could drive back to town for lunch, however, this additional detour would mean to pay the driver for it additionally and the tour would take more than 9 to 10 hours in this case.

45 minutes • Admission Ticket Not Included

Ta Prohm Temple

Ta Prohm is the world-famous jungle temple of Cambodia, overgrown by several immensely large strangle figs. It's a very large temple compound. So take your time to explore it.

1 hours • Admission Ticket Not Included

Ta Nei Temple

Ta Nei is still hidden in the jungle and can only be reached on gravel roads. That's why most tourists don't find their way to this temple. The ruins of Ta Nei are the perfect place for an "Indiana Jones Feeling". However, the temple also has some excellent works of relief art.

30 minutes • Admission Ticket Not Included

Ta Keo

Ta Keo is a former state temple. As all other state temples, it is an artificial mountain, a stepped pyramid. The stairs to the uppermost platform, where 5 Prasats are situated, are extraordinarily steep.

40 minutes • Admission Ticket Not Included

Spean Thma

Have a photo stop at Spean Thma. This is a stone bridge from the late Angkor period, the construction made use of carved stones taken from earlier temples. The riverbed has shifted further east in the meantime.

5 minutes • Admission Ticket Not Included

Chau Say Tevoda

Chau Say Tevoda is a charming medium-sized temple with an impressive processional route from the east and lots of pediment carvings depicting mythological themes.

20 minutes • Admission Ticket Not Included

Thommanon

Thommanon is the sister temple of Chau Say Tevoda. Thommanon is a temple from the Angkor Wat period. The towers are of the same style as at Angkor Wat.

15 minutes • Admission Ticket Not Included

Mangalartha

Mangalartha is a small temple on a steep and tiered platform. It's from the 13th century and considered to be the very last temple built of stone in Angkor. Mangalartha rarely visited by tourists and therefore one of the five items on this itinerary called "Extras".

15 minutes • Admission Ticket Not Included

The Victory Gate

The Victory gate is the second eastern gate of Angkor Thom. It's one of the best-preserved city gates in Angkor. You will climb the wall to enjoy the stunning view to the southern giant face of the gate, picturesquely framed by trees growing on the wall. With the tour guide, you will start your 3.5 km hike here at Victory Gate. It will run along the rarely visited East Gate and Prasat Chrung in the southeastern corner of Angkor Thom. The driver will pick you up again at Angkor Thom South Gate.

10 minutes • Admission Ticket Not Included

Angkor Thom

Walking along the medieval city walls of Angkor Thom you will see the lonesome East Gate. As there is no road leading to it, you will be surprised to see a highlight of Angkor Thom without any crowds. We hope, this unique experience is a rewarding extra of our extended "intense" version of a Small Tour itinerary.

20 minutes • Admission Ticket Free

Prasat Chrung

There are four temples called Prasat Chrung, they form the corner temples of Angkor Thom, placed on the city walls. On your 3.5 km hike, you will see the southeastern Prasat Chrung which is the best preserved of the four corner temples. Prasat Chrung cannot be reached by vehicles and is therefore rarely frequented by tourists. As you will fill quite undisturbed at this place, we consider Prasat Chrung to be one of our five specials on this intense tour.

20 minutes • Admission Ticket Not Included

Angkor Thom South Gate

Take your time at the iconic South Gate of Angkor Thom. The face tower and the railings formed by rows of giant statues, that are depicting demons and gods, are one of the must-sees of Angkor.

Due to our animal welfare policy, we do not offer options of elephant rides at Angkor Thom.

15 minutes • Admission Ticket Not Included

Wat Thmey (Killing Fields)

Wat Thmey has a small memorial stupa for victims of the Khmer Rouge and photo boards with images of some of those who were killed here. The open grounds also contain a large prayer hall.

10 minutes • Admission Ticket Free

Siem Reap

Drop-off will be at your hotel or at any point of your choice in the town centre of Siem Reap with its vibrant markets.
