Walking is for a total of about 3 kilometers and is over flat ground.
After hotel pickup, we will approach the city wall’s western gate by tuk-tuk (motorised trolley), once a main arterial to the capital of the ancient Khmer kingdom. From this rambling western entrance we begin our gentle short walking into a less-visited section of Angkor Thom city. Continue by our tuk-tuk (motorised trolley) straight to the famous Bayon temple, spend our gentle explore at Bayon before set out again for the most to eastern gates (the ‘Dead Gate’). From here, we clamber to the top of the city wall and walk for around three kilometres (north and then west), along the length of the wall (this will take about 1.5 hours hour). En route we will stop at the second of the eastern gates, known as the Victory Gate (though here, ancient Khmer warriors marched out of the city to victory), and at the northeastern corner temple, Prasat Chrung. We end our wall-walking at the more-visited Northern Gate then board our tuk tuk to local restaurant for your lunch break (own expense).
Set out your journey again after lunch board our tuk tuk to the jungle-enveloped Ta Prohm – one of the most atmospheric of all temples in Angkor. Once home to 2,740 monks, Ta Prohm today looks much as it did in the early 1850s, when French explorer Henri Mouhot ‘rediscovered’ this crumbling site. After exploring the maze-like interior of Ta Prohm, continue to Angkor Wat, the world’s largest sacred building and an architectural masterpiece. Built in the 12th century the temple took 30 years to build and represents the Khmer civilization at its grandest. End you tour by return back to your hotel.
