A compact two-day loop through Angkor’s Big and Small Circuits, this tour links Angkor Wat, Ta Prohm and the pink sandstone carvings of Banteay Srei. Start early, carry water, and be prepared for long days of walking across uneven temple stones.

You arrive before dawn: the air is warm and damp, mosquitoes hum at the edges, and the first causeway to Angkor Wat appears like a carved spine against a pale sky. Your guide folds the map into a practiced rhythm — today the Big Circuit; tomorrow the Small Circuit — and the vehicle hums toward a landscape where stone and jungle push at one another.

Buy an Angkor Park Pass
Admission is not included — purchase your 1- or 3-day Angkor Park pass at the ticket center before entering to avoid delays.
Start at sunrise
Beat the heat and crowds by arriving at Angkor Wat or Ta Prohm before dawn; light is also best for photography.
Dress for temples
Cover shoulders and knees out of respect and to meet park rules; lightweight, breathable fabric works best.
Hydrate and pace yourself
Carry a 1–2L refillable water bottle and take frequent shade breaks — days are long and humid.
Sturdy walking shoes
Closed shoes with good grip protect your feet on uneven, sometimes slippery stone and roots.
Refillable water bottle (1–2L)
Staying hydrated is critical in the tropical heat; tap refill stations are limited.
Sun protection (hat/sunscreen)
Wide-brim hat and SPF will reduce sun exposure during long open-causeway walks.
