Early this morning to see Angkor Wat bathed in the spectacular golden light of sunrise. Have a box breakfast. Later, drive out to see the well-preserved temples of Banteay Srei, stopping at an exotic butterfly sanctuary and the village of Preak Dak where we support a community tree planting initiative along the way. After returning to the Angkor Temple Complex to explore the ancient city of Angkor Thom. The last capital of the Great Khmer Empire, it is home to the fascinating Bayon Temple, the Baphuon royal enclosure and the Terraces of the Elephants and Leper King. Continue on to Tra Prohm Temple that unlike the other temples here has been left in the same ruined state that it was first discovered in with a tangle of trees growing out of its ruins. Tonight, we are going to attend the remarkable Phare NGO circus project which teaches children living on the streets how to become circus artists. Enjoy circus tricks and their interpretations of modern life and issues in Cambodian society in this popular show. Overnight in Siem Reap.
