Angkor Wat SmartGuide 1.967

Smart Guide transforms your smartphone into a personal guide.

Encompassing about 400 square kilometers, which includes forested areas, the Angkor Archaeological Park showcases the impressive remnants of multiple capitals of the Khmer Empire dating from the 9th to the 15th centuries, among them the largest pre-industrial city globally. Notably, the famed Temple of Angkor Wat and, within Angkor Thom, the Bayon Temple adorned with numerous sculptural embellishments stand out.

Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1992, the Angkor Archaeological Park was simultaneously added to the List of World Heritage in Danger due to issues such as looting, a diminishing water table, and unsustainable tourism. To preserve this iconic site and its environs, UNESCO has initiated an extensive program.

Small Circuit

The Small Circuit provides a condensed experience of the Angkor Wat Archaeological Park. This 15 km route can be completed in one day and encompasses a visit to the Angkor Wat temple. The tour guides us through the Royal Enclosure within the ancient city of Angkor Thom, the Ta Prohm Temple famously known from Lara Croft's adventures, and naturally, the renowned Angkor Wat temple.

The Small Circuit serves as an excellent option for those with limited time for sightseeing or for an initial encounter with Khmer architecture upon arrival.

Big Circuit

Given the presence of numerous grand temples on the outskirts of Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom cities, it would be regrettable to miss them. The Big Circuit supplements the Small Circuit by adding an extra route that requires half a day to cover. Opting for the complete Big Circuit is also advisable for day two if you have a two-day itinerary for exploring the wonders of Angkor Wat Archaeological Park after visiting Angkor Wat and the temples on the Small Circuit on day one.

Angkor Wat in 1 Day

This option combines elements from both the Big and Small circuits, offering a comprehensive experience of the Angkor Wat Archaeological Park. In addition to key attractions from both circuits, participants will delve into lesser-known temples hidden in the jungle.

The tour is crafted to help you avoid crowds. The SmartGuide Circuit can be accomplished in one day or serve as an informative prelude before visiting the Angkor Wat Temple.
