Discover the beauty and magic of Angkor Wat

One of the most overwhelming cultural and architectural sites in the world is the Angkor temple complex. Nothing prepares you for the experience of seeing Angkor Wat for the first time, especially at sunrise or sunset, when soft light bathes the ruins with an otherworldly, haunting radiance. No less spectacular is Angkor Thom, once a city of a million inhabitants. We'll also visit dramatically overgrown Preah Khan and the royal baths of Preah Neak Pean, with its intertwining naga temple surrounded by four bathing ponds.

You can combine this trip with other journeys in Southeast Asia to create the ultimate dream vacation.
