Angkor Wat
Day 1: the group is collected at the hotel at 8:00 am for Angkor Wat, with time to see local villages and the forest around it. It is the largest religious monument in the world and the best preserved, built to represent Mount Meru, and it faces west, unlike most Angkor temples. Visitors come for its bas-reliefs and the many devatas on its walls.
