One often needs to take a break: Angkor’s immense size is mind-blowing, and with a cornucopia of temples, pagodas and remnants of what once was one of the largest cities in the world (according to the records, more than one million people lived in the great Angkor Kingdom at one time), it is bound to overload you with impressions.

Our half-day explorations of the famous sights from the perfect base to head out into Angkor before moving on to another highlight, surrounding Siem Reap. The Angkor Thom region is worth its own half-day. With landmarks such as the 200-headed Bayon temple and the opulence that once adorned the Elephant Terrace, this fits perfectly into a morning or an afternoon venture.

Suitable for all physical fitness levels
