Upon your arrival the Siem Reap International airport we will pick up you and start a discovery tour to see Angkor Wat Temple, which is the largest and 7th finest wonder of the world heritage by UNESCO. Angkor Wat is also one of the largest temples in the world, with a volume of stone equaling that of the Cheops Pyramid in Egypt. The temples of Angkor were constructed from AD 1113 – 1150.
Later we continue to visit Ta Prohm Ttemple (known as the filming location of Hollywood film 'Tomb Raider'). Ta Prohm is the beautiful ruin which is overgrown by the giant trees of the jungle, and because of its wonderful atmosphere, it was left untouched. This temple was built in end of 12th century to the beginning of 13th century by King Jayavarman VII in dedication to his royal mother. Since the capital city of Angkor had been abandoned and moved the city to Phnom Penh during the 15th century, the area of Angkor was occupied by the Thais for sometimes. Most of the temples were left in the jungle and the tree started to grow. In next 4 centuries, the temples of Angkor were rediscovered by a French naturalist Henry Mohout during year 1850. This amazing capital made Henry stunned because of its progressive and beauty of monument temples left in the deep forest.
