The most popular spot to watch the sunrise is in front of the reflecting pool near the main entrance, where you can capture the temple's reflection in the water.

Highlights of the so-called "Small Tour" are Angkor Wat, Ta Prohm, and Angkor Thom. We hope to make a difference by modifying the Small Tour standard itinerary in 2 ways: Firstly, you will visit Angkor Wat twice, 2 hours at the beginning and another 30 minutes at the very end of the tour, allowing you to see both sides of the complex in best sunshine. Secondly, you will visit two "hidden gems" additionally, one of them being a picture-book "lost temple in the jungle".
Lunch-break will be at the reservoir called 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 kilometers.
Each temple can only be visited with an Angkor Ticket, which is NOT included in the tour costs: 1 day: 37.-US$ per person. Most guests prefer multi-day tickets.
