What temples are included on each day?

Day 1 covers Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom (walled city), Bayon Temple, Terrace of the Elephants, and Ta Prohm. Day 2 includes Banteay Srei, Beng Mealea, and Kampong Phluk Village.

Is this tour suitable for first-time visitors to Angkor?

Yes. The itinerary hits all major UNESCO-listed monuments and provides structured access to both famous and off-the-beaten-path temples, ideal for first-timers wanting comprehensive coverage.

Do I need to buy a separate Angkor park ticket?

Angkor archaeological park entrance fees are typically not included in tour prices; confirm with your operator. Multi-day passes (1–3 days) are available at the park gate.

What makes Beng Mealea different from the main Angkor temples?

Beng Mealea is a largely unrestored 12th-century temple deep in jungle, featuring dramatic root-covered ruins and narrower passages. It's far less crowded and offers a more adventurous, atmospheric experience than the manicured main complex.

Can I combine this with other Siem Reap activities?

Absolutely. This 2-day temple tour leaves time for activities like cooking classes, silk weaving workshops, or evening tonlé Sap boat tours on the same trip.

What's included in the EUR 262 base price?

Base pricing typically covers minivan transport, guide services, and park/site access. Meals, entrance fees, and gratuities may be separate — confirm your operator's full inclusions before booking.

About this activity

Explore Cambodia's most iconic temples across two immersive days, from the grandeur of Angkor Wat and the jungle-reclaimed Ta Prohm to the remote Beng Mealea and a traditional floating village. This comprehensive tour combines UNESCO World Heritage sites with authentic local culture, offering both spiritual heritage and everyday village life in one seamless journey.

Day 1
We are going to visit Angkor Wat temple. Then Angkor Thom is a walled city that was built in the late 12th century by King Jayavarman VII. Next the Bayon Temple is known for its 216 smiling faces of Avalokiteshvara, the bodhisattva of compassion.

After that the Terrace of the Elephants is a long platform that was used for royal ceremonies. It is located in Angkor Thom, and it is decorated with bas-reliefs of elephants.

The last Ta Prohm is a temple that has been reclaimed by the jungle. It is known for its overgrown trees and roots, which have intertwined with the ruins of the temple.

Day 2
We are going to visit Banteay Srei Temple, Beng Mealea temple and the last is Kompong Phluk Village.
