Quick answer: Angkor Mandir Darshan Yatra is 6 days / 5 nights in Siem Reap, Cambodia.

From ₹47,999 per person. Call or WhatsApp +91 78178 98687 or send an enquiry.

Angkor Wat is the largest religious monument on earth, and it was built, in the twelfth century, as a temple to Vishnu. For an Indian yatri walking its galleries, the churning of the ocean of milk, the battle of Kurukshetra and the Ramayana unfold in stone exactly as they do in our own puranas, carved by Khmer artisans half a world away. This six-day programme stays in one hotel in Siem Reap and spends four full days among the temples of the Angkor region and the countryside around it.

The order is deliberate. The first temple morning is Angkor Wat at sunrise followed by the walled city of Angkor Thom and the Bayon with its two hundred serene faces. The second day moves to the jungle-wrapped Ta Prohm and then out to Banteay Srei, the small pink-sandstone shrine to Shiva with the finest carving in Cambodia. The third is Phnom Kulen, the mountain where the Khmer empire was proclaimed in 802 CE, with a river bed carved with hundreds of lingams and a hilltop reclining Buddha. The last full day is the lake: a boat through the floating villages of Tonle Sap and a visit to the Artisans Angkor workshops.

A licensed English-speaking Angkor guide accompanies all temple visits, and the three-day Angkor pass is included in the price. Siem Reap is a small, friendly town with many Indian restaurants, so breakfast is at the hotel and dinner is arranged at vegetarian-friendly places each evening. Afternoons are kept light because of the heat, with the option of a traditional Apsara dance dinner or the night market.

Good to know before you book

Indian passport holders need a visa for Cambodia. The tourist e-visa (USD 30 plus a small processing fee, single entry, 30-day stay) is applied for at evisa.gov.kh and normally issued in about three working days. Visa on arrival is also available at Siem Reap airport for USD 30 in cash. Passport validity of six months is required.
Air passengers must also fill the free Cambodia e-Arrival card at arrival.gov.kh within seven days before landing and show the QR code at immigration.
The Angkor Archaeological Park pass is USD 37 for one day, USD 62 for three days and USD 72 for seven days (Angkor Enterprise, 2026). Your three-day pass is included and is checked at every temple; keep it on you. Phnom Kulen has a separate ticket, also included.
Dress code at all Angkor temples: shoulders and knees covered. The upper level of Angkor Wat (Bakan) is closed on Buddhist holy days and children under 12 are not allowed up; it also has a steep stairway.
Cambodia uses US dollars alongside the riel for almost everything; carry small-denomination dollar notes in good condition. The dry, cooler season is November to February; March to May is very hot and June to October brings afternoon rain and the fullest Tonle Sap.

Day 1 :

Arrival in Siem Reap

Our representative meets you at Siem Reap-Angkor International Airport at your arrival point (airport, railway station or hotel) at the agreed time; the new airport is about 45 minutes from town. Check in and rest. In the late afternoon your guide takes you to Wat Preah Prom Rath or Wat Bo, working monasteries in town, to watch the evening chanting and understand how Theravada Buddhism and the old Hindu heritage sit side by side in Cambodia. The Angkor pass is collected this evening so that tomorrow's sunrise is not delayed.

Optional: an Apsara dance performance with dinner, a classical court dance drawn from the carvings you will see. Dinner at an Indian or vegetarian restaurant in town.

Overnight: Siem Reap

Day 2 :

Angkor Wat at sunrise, Angkor Thom and the Bayon

Depart at about 5 am to be at the reflecting pools of Angkor Wat before dawn. As the light comes up, walk the causeway into the temple built by Suryavarman II around 1113 to 1150. The guide takes you along the 800 m of bas-reliefs on the outer gallery: the Battle of Kurukshetra, the Churning of the Ocean of Milk with Vishnu on Mount Mandara, Rama's battle with Ravana, and the heavens and hells. The central towers, representing Mount Meru, may be climbed by those who wish. Return to the hotel for breakfast and a rest in the hottest hours.

Around 2 pm continue to Angkor Thom, the walled capital of Jayavarman VII, entering by the south gate over a causeway lined with gods and demons holding the serpent Vasuki. At its centre the Bayon carries 216 enormous carved faces on its towers. See also the Baphuon, the royal enclosure of Phimeanakas and the Terrace of the Elephants. Dinner in town.

Overnight: Siem Reap

Day 3 :

Ta Prohm and Banteay Srei

After breakfast visit Ta Prohm, the monastery-temple left largely as the French found it, with silk-cotton and strangler-fig roots gripping its walls and towers. It was dedicated by Jayavarman VII to his mother in 1186. Continue past the small gem of Banteay Kdei and the Srah Srang reservoir.

Drive about 37 km north-east through rice country to Banteay Srei, a tenth-century Shiva temple in pink sandstone whose carvings of Shiva, Vishnu, Ravana shaking Mount Kailash and Krishna killing Kamsa are the most delicate in the Khmer world. Lunch at a village restaurant on the way back. The evening is free for the Siem Reap night market and the Pub Street area; dinner at a vegetarian-friendly restaurant.

Overnight: Siem Reap

Day 4 :

Phnom Kulen, the sacred mountain

A longer day. Drive about 50 km north to Phnom Kulen, where in 802 CE Jayavarman II declared himself universal king and the Angkor era began. The road up the plateau is one-way (up in the morning, down after noon), so we leave by 8 am. At Kbal Spean and along the Kulen river bed, hundreds of lingams and yonis, with images of Vishnu reclining on Ananta, Brahma and Lakshmi, are carved into the rock beneath the flowing water so that the river itself is sanctified before it reaches Angkor.

Walk to Preah Ang Thom, the sixteenth-century monastery with an eight-metre reclining Buddha carved from the summit rock, and then to the Kulen waterfall, where you may bathe in the pools if you wish. Picnic or simple lunch at the waterfall stalls. Return to Siem Reap by late afternoon; dinner in town.

Overnight: Siem Reap

Day 5 :

Tonle Sap floating villages and Artisans Angkor

In the morning drive to the lakeshore, about 30 minutes, and board a boat on Tonle Sap, the largest freshwater lake in South-East Asia, which swells to several times its dry-season size each monsoon. Pass through the floating village of Chong Khneas or Kampong Phluk, with its houses, school and pagoda on stilts or rafts, and understand the fishing life that fed the Angkor empire. Boat timings and the village chosen depend on water levels.

After lunch visit the Artisans Angkor workshops in town, where young Cambodians are trained in stone carving, lacquer and silk weaving using the old techniques; the showroom is a good place for genuine souvenirs. The rest of the afternoon is free for the Angkor National Museum (optional ticket) or rest. Farewell dinner in town.

Overnight: Siem Reap

Day 6 :

Departure

Breakfast at the hotel and check-out. Depending on your flight, there may be time for a last walk by the Siem Reap river or shopping at the old market. Transfer to Siem Reap-Angkor International Airport at your departure point (airport, railway station or hotel) three hours before departure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Expand all

Do Indian citizens need a visa for Cambodia?

Yes. The simplest route is the tourist e-visa at evisa.gov.kh: USD 30 plus a small service fee, single entry, 30-day stay, usually issued within three working days. Visa on arrival is available at Siem Reap airport for USD 30 in cash with a passport photo. Separately, air passengers fill the free Cambodia e-Arrival card at arrival.gov.kh within seven days of travel. Your passport needs six months’ validity. We guide you through both.

Is Angkor Wat a Hindu or Buddhist temple?

Both, over time. It was built as a Vishnu temple by Suryavarman II in the early twelfth century and its galleries are entirely Hindu in subject. By the late thirteenth century Cambodia had turned to Theravada Buddhism and the temple has been used as a Buddhist shrine since, with Buddha images in the sanctuaries. Many of the other Angkor temples (Bayon, Ta Prohm) were Buddhist from the start, while Banteay Srei and Phnom Kulen are Shaiva.

Is Indian vegetarian food available in Siem Reap?

Yes, easily. Siem Reap has a number of Indian restaurants, several of them pure vegetarian, as well as Khmer places that cook vegetable amok, fried rice and noodles without fish sauce on request. Dinners in the package are at such restaurants. Lunches near the temples are simpler, so we tell the guide your requirements in advance.

How early is the sunrise visit and is it worth it?

Pick-up is around 5 am and sunrise is between 5.30 and 6.30 depending on the month. It is the coolest and quietest time to walk the galleries and most families find it the highlight of the yatra. If anyone in your group would rather not, they can join at 8 am after breakfast; the vehicle makes a second run.

What does the three-day Angkor pass cover and how long is it valid?

It covers all temples inside the Angkor Archaeological Park, including Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom, Ta Prohm and Banteay Srei, for any three days within a ten-day window. Phnom Kulen and Tonle Sap are outside the park and have separate tickets, which are also included in our price. The pass carries your photo and is checked at each temple.

Can senior citizens manage the temples?

Yes. The main galleries of Angkor Wat, the Bayon and Ta Prohm are at ground level with modest steps, and the vehicle drops you close to each entrance. The upper levels and Phnom Kulen’s forest paths are optional. We schedule the hot midday hours at the hotel and keep the day’s walking under three hours. A wheelchair is possible for the outer parts of Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom but not inside the towers.

When is the best season to visit Angkor?

November to February is dry and relatively cool, with the Tonle Sap still high after the monsoon. March to May is very hot. June to October is the green season: afternoon rain, far fewer visitors, full moats and the lake at its widest. Avoid Khmer New Year in mid-April, when the whole country travels and prices rise.

Can children and senior citizens climb to the top level of Angkor Wat?

Children under 12 are not allowed onto Bakan, the upper level of Angkor Wat. It is reached by a steep stairway with a handrail, and it is also closed on Buddhist holy days. Senior citizens who are steady on stairs can go up. Others can stay on the lower galleries, which hold the long carved panels of the Churning of the Ocean, Kurukshetra and the Ramayana. Your guide plans the Day 2 sunrise visit so everyone sees these panels either way.
