Have the chance to explore Angkor Wat, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, get picked up from your Siem Reap Hotel in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle and head straight for the ruins. As you motor toward Angkor Wat, learn about its history as the world's largest religious monument, replete with Hindu-Buddhist architecture that took 30 years to complete. Follow your guidebook, glimpsing intricate stonework as you wander galleries that have been shockingly well-maintained.

Visit the enormous southern gate at Angkor Thom, once the Khmer Empire's glistening capital city, Angkor Wat, head north toward Angkor Thom. This majestic site once served as the Khmer Empire's glistening capital city. Take a moment to consider its grandiosity before venturing inside the city. Arriving at Bayon Temple, appreciate its beautifully crafted central towers covered in more than 200 enormous faces.

Enjoy lunch at your own expense, and then pay a visit to Ta Prohm—a temple set in the midst of the jungle. Wander the maze-like ruins of this ornate worship site, marveling at the fig trees that threaten to overtake the edifice.

Then, head toward Phnom Bakheng and absorb a memorable sunset before heading back to your hotel.
