Today, after breakfast, we will start our visit to the amazing temples complex of Angkor. Begin to explore the complex of Angkor Thom where we can see a massive perimeter wall and a moat with five monumental gates covering an area of more than ten square kilometers. The Baphuon and the Terrace of Elephants, the Bayon with a total of 54 towers are elaborately decorated with 216 enormous and enigmatic smiling faces. The numerous other structures of this fortified city are the Terrace of the Leper King, the Phimeanakas, Preah Palilay, Tepranom, Preah Pithu, North & South Kleang, and Prasat Sour Prot.
We have lunch at Aha Restaurant. In the afternoon we will visit Ta Prohm – the temple of exotic roots in Angkor system. The principal singularity of Ta Prohm is that it has not been cleared from the thick jungle, as the rest of the Angkor Complex has been. It looks nearly the same as in the descriptions of the first French explorers, shrouded in the undergrowth and in the huge roots of old Banyan trees. Then we go back to hot air balloon station where we can ride a stable hot air balloon for a truly memorable sunset look over one of the Wonder of the World, Angkor Wat. Overnight in the hotel in Siem Reap.
